Engineering & Technology, 2011
In use now for more than a decade, the International Space Station is due to remain in orbit until at least 2020. The article presents Thales-Alenia Space in Turin where many of its pressurised modules were built. At the basic mechanical level, design requirements for space hardware are both challenging and contradictory: spacecraft must be capable of ...

Additive manufacturing using space resources
2021Abstract Additive manufacturing (AM), commonly known as 3D printing, is a family of novel and advanced manufacturing techniques that operate in a layer-by-layer additive manner and, by using a vast material palette, can deliver parts in an autonomous fashion directly from computer data without the need for additional tooling and with part ...

Evaporation in space manufacturing
Thermophysics and Heat Transfer Conference, 1974'Normal evaporation' equations for predicting the compositional changes with time and temperature have been developed and correlated with actual experimental data. An evaporative congruent temperature is defined and used to explain, predict, or plan space experiments on anomalous constitutional melting (on cooling) or solidification (on heating ...

Manufacturing floor space forecasting
Computers & Industrial Engineering, 1987Abstract This forecasting procedure, in use at our facility for ten years, has gone through many updates and changes. These updates have provided us with a system which is reliable, and addresses all of our requirements for flexibility and ease of operation. In addition to production floor space, other categories of areas can be projected using this

Asteroidal resources for space manufacturing
Acta Astronautica, 1979Abstract Earth-approaching asteroids (Apollos and Amors) may be competitive candidates as raw materials for space manufacturing. The total energy per unit mass required to transfer material from some of these bodies to high Earth orbit is comparable to that for lunar material.

Women “manufacture” economic spaces in Bethlehem
World Development, 1996Abstract Education is an important factor in women's economic development. For Palestinian women, who may be denied access to wage labor because of societal conceptions of gender roles, education has added importance, since it increases women's ability to challenge these roles.
