This paper briefly describes three projects developed at the Active Structures Laboratory of ULB, in connection with precision mechanics. The first one considers the integration of piezoelectric fibers in composite structures for space applications; the second consists of an active piezoelectric bimorph mirror for adaptive optics, and the third considers the vibration isolation of sensitive payloads in spacecraft.
