The Human Exploration and Development of Space Roadmap calls for Human Missions to Mars and other planets in the 2010 to 2023 timeframe.
A series of displacement transducers have been demonstrated which are based on the detection of electrons that quantum-mechanically tunnel across a narrow gap between electrodes.
This paper describes the successful fabrication and demonstration of a new dual-element micromachined silicon tunnel accelerometer that extends the operational bandwidth beyond the resonant frequency of the proof mass.
This paper describes the design of miniature accelerometers and new high-sensitivity microsensors developed using high-resolution position sensors based on electron tunneling.
