NASA's recent progress in Adaptive Structures is reviewed using results from both experimental and flight hardware test programs. Particular attention is given to testbeds, structural deployment/assembly, structural linearization, static shape/position adjustment, on-orbit system identification, and vibration suppression. It is concluded that a very rapid transition of research in Adaptive Structures to applications has occurred in the past five years. Adaptive Structures provide tools for increasing the robustness of structural design.
