MSFC announced it had issued requests for bids on a contract to design, construct, and test on earth a space-based manufacturing facility to make structural members for assembling large structures in space. Proposals would be received until 30 Nov. The machine to be produced under this contract would demonstrate automatic beam fabrication, a necessary step in developing a facility to support requirements for large structures in space, such as space platforms, electrical power generating plants, or large antennas for communications and astronomy.
