286 MEMS and Microstructures in Aerospace Applications

approaches for MEMS in space applications. As shown, most designs and materials
are still based on the experience with the semiconductor devices. In order to
accelerate the introduction of MEMS into spacecraft, more flight opportunities
are neseccary to allow a selection of packaging approaches, and a strong exchange
of knowledge is required between the engineers and space institutions to omit error
repetition. This chapter should help to get this exchange started.
