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 ...

Hey so, random question, but do you have any ideas for large-scale, novel biomechanical structures that can be grown in microgravity that you’ve been sitting on? Just asking on behalf of the Defense ...

Working and even living in space has shifted from far-off fantasy to seemingly inevitable reality, but the question remains: What exactly will the next generation of space habitation look like? For ...

The structure can be carried into space compactly, potentially lowering launch costs. More people are traveling to space, but the International Space Station can only hold 11 people at a time. Aurelia ...

Because it's costly and cumbersome to transport large structures such as satellite dishes into space, aerospace Ph.D. student Ivan Wu and his advisor, Jeff Baur, at The Grainger College of Engineering ...

Being lightweight is essential for space structures, particularly for tools used on already small, lightweight satellites. The ability to perform multiple functions is a bonus. To address these ...
