... that are used to build the modules will be assembled on Earth. The modules will then be packed into a rocket and flown into space to be inflated. Currently, building from scratch in space is very difficult. We try to build ... safe. These components will then be sent up to space and be assembled together by robotic equipment and spacewalking astronauts. Building in space under weightless conditions is quite challenging. Spacewalking astronauts on ...

... extreme and unusual circumstances. Everything must be tested before it is assembled and again after it is assembled. So, designing, building and testing a new rocket vehicle to take payloads or people into ...

Building faster rockets generally means that the specific energy and specific power must be increased. Improving ... thrust-to-weight ratio is too low to be able to achieve orbit with a vertically launched single stage, limited primarily by shielding weight. Horizontally launched single stage nuclear rocket vehicles ...

... , in order to understand the potential value of a reusable assembly support infrastructure. Four separate assembly strategies involving module self-assembly, tug-based assembly, and in-space refuelling are modelled and compared in terms of mass-to-orbit requirements for various on-orbit assembly tasks. Results ...

... large space facilities such as space hotels to those commonly found in Intelligent Buildings and looks at how Intelligent Building technologies may be applied to space hotels. Many of the functions required in space hotels are the same as those needed in terrestrial buildings. The adaptation of standardised, low cost, Intelligent Building technologies would reduce capital costs and ease development of future space ...

... for nanotechnology is considered. The idea of self-assembling structures to fabricate variable sized devices on the nanometre scale is proposed. Self-assembling structures for nanodevice fabrication will have a great influence ...
