Sumario:This paper focuses on the change of morphing capabilities for a unimorph deformable mirror impacted by environmental factors, which works in space for active optics applications. Various aspects of disturbing sources are considered, including complex thermal and mechanical conditions on ferroelectric behaviours of strain actuation, and influences of preconfigured initial shapes and stress-induced geometric stiffness on the structural rigidity of the mirror; changes on both the perturbed shape and the Jacobian matrix are discussed. Those variations are regarded as uncertainties in the design of control methods with both open-loop and iterative control strategies tested in the quasi-static range.
