Abstract:

The conceptual design configuration and a preliminary design analysis are presented for a 10-foot-diameter, 60-degree-rim-angle, inflatable, rigidizable concentrator. The design of instrumentation for focal-zone, heat-flux measurement and reflectance degradation detection is described. An estimated weight summary, mass properties and distribution data, and estimated power requirements are presented. Author
