In-space manufacturing and assembly

Building structures in orbit instead of folding them into a fairing.

Scope

• Why launch-packaged structures limit design
• Robotic assembly and on-orbit servicing
• Additive manufacturing in microgravity
• Materials that can only be produced in orbit
• Servicing missions flown to date
