Space stations break down. Satellites get damaged. Repairing them requires launching replacement components on rockets. The US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is now exploring an ...
Robotic prefabrication and 3D printing are set to transform construction, enabling resilient structures in extreme ...
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) — which has been known to fund the development of sci-fi-sounding ideas like flying aircraft carriers or massive streetlights on the Moon — is now ...
The US military is brainstorming ways to build large structures in space, from telescope antennas to elevator tethers. By growing these objects in microgravity using biological organisms, they hope to ...
Continuous fiber 3D printer additively deposited fiber bundles generate the desired shape: (a) cone, (b) saddle, (c) parabolic dish. Source (All Images) | The Grainger College, University of Illinois ...
Abstract: Modern deployable space structures have enabled spectacular missions like the James Webb Space Telescope, but they are constrained by fairing size and by a tradeoff between deployed size and ...
Aerospace undergrad Alex Kuehnle observes PhD student Ivan Wu in the composites laboratory at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Because it’s costly and cumbersome to transport large ...
