N2 - Shape adjustment or compensation of manufacturing errors for high precision space structures via proper attachment and programming of shape memory materials and especially memory polymers is presented. The overall process, polymer characterisation, the determination of size and positioning of polymeric shape memory actuators are shown together with two benchmark applications. Results together with good analysis-test correlation demonstrate the feasibility of the approach.
