Description

The objective of the project was to develop an extremely light wheight mechanism able to maintain free of dust the surface of a set of UV sensor to operate in Mars. The actuation mechanism is based in a SMA wire and the whole UV measurement equipment has a total weight below 100 grams.

The thermal operation conditions comes from -130 degrees to 30 degrees.
