Abstract

The significant advantages of optical fiber sensor systems for spacecraft applications have been established through demonstration projects on both prototype exemplars and flight articles. These include distributed strain sensing using embedded and surface-mounted fiber Bragg grating arrays and ultrahigh sensitivity strain and temperature sensing with fiber cavity etalon sensors. These projects will be discussed with emphasis on sensor performance, reliability, and survivability during composite fabrication, including egress of the fiber lead from the part.
