CRG succeeded in developing self-deploying membrane reflector technology to readiness for transition to use in system development by a major spacecraft prime contractor, Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corporation (BATC), and BATC commenced Phase 11 application of the technology. This excerpt of the project Final Report summarizes results Cornerstone Research Group Inc. (CRC) achieved under Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) contract FA8650-04-C-2468 for an Air Force Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project entitled, 'Shape Memory Polymer Self-Deploying Membrane Reflectors.' AFRL awarded this contract under Department of Defense (DoD) SBIR 2003.1 Topic AF03- 182, 'Deployable, Membrane Optical or RF Reflector.' CRC conducted Phase I effort under Air Force Flight Test Center (AFFTC) contract F0461 1-03-M-3107. NOTE: This excerpt omits material presented by the official final report that is not suitable for public release. For traceability to the official report, altered text is identified by enclosure in brackets and original section and figure numbering are maintained by using ' Reserved' to account for omissions that would otherwise alter the sequence.
