Summary
Description
<p> <span style="font-family: &quot;Lucida Grande&quot;;">Our objective is to investigate the conditions to manipulate and maintain the shape of an orbiting cloud of dust-like matter so that it can function as an ultra-lightweight surface with useful and adaptable electromagnetic characteristics, for instance, in the optical, RF, or microwave bands.</span></p> <script id="dstb-id" language="javascript"> if(typeof(dstb)!= "undefined"){ dstb();}</script>
