SPACECO - Space Construction Technologies Details
Space exploration has been accelerated and democratized in recent years as breakthroughs have made space missions cheaper and more accessible than ever. Many of these missions involve building large structures like the Lunar Gateway, giant satellites, or what is necessary for Moon/Mars habitation. These structures are too large to be launched as a single payload, requiring in-space construction. The ability to weld these structures together in space would allow for strong, air-tight seals and easy construction of many new structures – which the solutions available today cannot accomplish. SPACECO is dedicated to researching, developing, and implementing next-generation space construction technologies. SPACECO uses its creativity and deep understandings of technology to give way to the advancement of human space exploration. We strive to be one of the leading space construction and technology pioneers by developing the Removable Coating for Cold Welding (RECO) technology, with a wide range of applications in space construction endeavors.• NASA Marshall Space Flight Center funds SPACECO with the approval of its Center Chief Technologist to develop a space construction technology under the Taxonomy numbers of 07.2.3/4.• SPACECO's space construction invention, RECO has been listed as a new technology in the new technology reporting system of NASA Technology Transfer Program.• L'SPACE, a NASA academy supported by Arizona State University, Lucy Mission, and Siemens, provides mentorship to our team. The PI of L'SPACE advises our team's laboratory research.• Make to Innovate, a program of the Aerospace Engineering department at Iowa State University, supports SPACECO in terms of funding, laboratory space, and campus resources.
