Modeling and Optimization of In-Space Manufacturing to Inform Technology Development

In-space manufacturing (ISM) has the potential to alter the paradigm of space system design by enabling fabrication of components that are unencumbered by launch-related design constraints. However, the size, weight, and power of manufacturing equipment can easily outweigh the benefits, while the ma...
