Micro- and Nanotechnology for Space Systems

Microengineering and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) are a subject of considerable current interest involving research and development throughout the world. This first volume of a series on this topic reviews and evaluates micro- and nanotechnologies applicable to U.S. Air Force and commercial space systems. It introduces the concept of application-specific integrated microinstrument (ASIM), an intelligent microinstrument.
Microengineering Technology for Space Systems

A follow-on to Micro- and Nanotechnology for Space Systems, this second monograph in the series uses the more universal term microengineering to define the discipline and processes that lead to the development of an integrated and intelligent microinstrument. Microengineering Technology for Space Systems addresses specific issues concerning areas for ASIM application in current space systems, operation in the space environment, ultra-high-density packaging and nonsilicon materials-processing tools, and the feasibility of the nanosatellite concept.
