Space Infrastructure
StubThings built to stay: stations, surface bases, in-space manufacturing and servicing, propellant depots, space-based solar power, and compute in orbit.
01Space stations
The ISS, its successors, and what a permanently crewed platform requires.
02Lunar surface systemsHabitats, power, mobility, and the case for staying rather than visiting.
03Mars habitatsLiving on a planet with a thin atmosphere, a long communications delay and no resupply.
04In-space manufacturing and assemblyBuilding structures in orbit instead of folding them into a fairing.
05Refueling and propellant depotsBreaking the single-launch constraint, and the cryogenic problem underneath it.
06Space-based solar powerContinuous solar collection and wireless power transmission, and the numbers that decide it.
07Orbital data centers and edge computeRunning compute in orbit: power, thermal, radiation, and the applications that justify it.
