FOCUS (MASDEX) waived “Go Ahead”

The former Munich Advanced Structural Deployment Experiment, now called FOCUS ( a First in Orbit Curing experiment by University Students ) has been officially approved for the REXUS programme of the German Aerospace Center DLR. FOCUS will demonstrate the possibility to manufacture large space structure by means of in orbit curing, and will be launched on a Orion sounding rocket in March 2011.
