This research improves aging satellite imagery using ground-based mirror arrays that reflect sunlight to diagnose and correct image blur. By giving satellites precise calibration targets, the method sharpens observations, enabling faster disaster response, improved climate monitoring, and more accurate data for governments and scientists worldwide.

This research investigates how sunlight thermally deforms large flexible spacecraft structures such as solar panels and antennas. Combining computational modeling with laboratory experiments, the work develops methods to predict and reduce solar-induced bending and instability, enabling future spacecraft to deploy larger, lighter, and more reliable structures for deep-space exploration.

This project develops a 200-metre space reflector antenna using a modular “LEGO-like” assembly system. Designed for compact launch and robotic construction, it enables stronger, higher-quality interstellar communication. The work also models structural behaviour during assembly and could support building other large space structures, advancing deep-space exploration.
