Hierarchical assembly of a self-replicating spacecraft

© 2017 IEEE. Extraterrestrial fabrication of spacecraft by current best-practice manufacturing methods is complicated by the need to integrate thousands of unique parts, each made using a diversity of processes and raw materials. Reducing this complexity could enable exponential space exploration vi...
