Potential for on-orbit manufacture of large space structures using the pultrusion process [PDF]
On-orbit manufacture of lightweight, high-strength, advanced-composite structures using the pultrusion process is proposed. This process is adaptable to a zero-gravity environment by using preimpregnated graphite-fiber reinforcement systems.
