Abstract

In the framework of the GLARE-X (Geodesy via LAser Ranging from spacE X) project, led by INFN and funded for the years 2019-2021, aiming at significantly advance space geodesy, one shows the initial activities carried out in 2019 in order to manufacture and test adaptive mirrors. This specific article deals with manufacturing and surface quality measurements of the passive substrate of 'candidate' MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) mirrors for MRRs (Modulated RetroReflectors); further publications will show the active components. The project GLARE-X was approved by INFN for the years 2019-2021: it involves several institutions, including, amongst the other, INFN-LNF and FBK. GLARE-X is an innovative R&D activity, whose at large space geodesy goals will concern the following topics: inverse laser ranging (from a laser terminal in space down to a target on a planet), laser ranging for debris removal and iterative orbit correction, development of high-end ToF (Time of Flight) electronics, manufacturing and testing of MRRs for space, and provision of microreflectors for future NEO (Near Earth Orbit) cubesats. This specific article summarizes the manufacturing and surface quality measurements activities performed on the passive substrate of 'candidate' MEMS mirrors, which will be in turn arranged into MRRs. The final active components, to be realized by 2021, will inherit the manufacturing characteristics chosen thanks to the presented (and further) testing campaigns, and will find suitable space application to NEO, Moon, and Mars devices, like, for example, cooperative and active lidar scatterers for laser altimetry and lasercomm support.

Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
