Space-Compatible Structural Testing and Fabrication System for In-Space Servicing, Assembly, and Manufacturing of Multifunctional Composite Shells
Abstract
The objective of this proposal is to apply for DURIP funding to purchase key components required to assemble, test, and demonstrate a unique system for in-situ testing and fabrication of multifunctional composite shells within simulated harsh space environments (Fig. 1), such as thermal-vacuum conditions. The proposed system aims to advance research and workforce development for in-space servicing, assembly, and manufacturing (ISAM) of multifunctional and large-scale space structures.
