Abstract:
In-space manufacturing especially for external satellite structures has a huge potential to increase the packaging density of a satellite in launch configuration and enables large structures for advanced mission requirements. However, the processes and materials do have to withstand the harsh environmental conditions in space. These conditions have immediate effects on the manufacturing process as well as long-term effects on the structure manufactured in orbit. The experiments presented here ar...     »
