We want to address two main themes; Assembly method for modular capsules that would make up a future station. A autonomous system would be in charge of docking and undocking, achieving an easy connection. #spaceapps#spaceappschallenge2020@SpaceApps

Proposing novel lightweight alloys, state-of-art nanocomposite materials and space suitable building materials. Using tested materials but also paying attention to innovative proposals to ensure the efficiency of the materials.

The capsule will be flush with the female receiver terminal, generating a thread through which it will pass the coupler.

The developed system is based on an assembly mechanic called quick release. When the module is coupled from the ground, it will come with a half-thread coupler that

will previously be coupled to the male terminal and when they do the initial docking. #spaceapps@SpaceApps

Nowadays, assembly systems for space shuttles, modules or laboratories are present, although specialized mechanisms to be able to carry out their task, the times in which they are carried out are decisive in the safety aspect given the nature of the environment in which they are carried out. carried out, an example of this is the Discovery Shuttle Mission: STS-124-29, where the twenty-sixth mission was dedicated to the construction and maintenance of the International Space Station, which included the delivery of the Kibo Laboratory of 32,558 pounds and three spacewalks, totaling 20 hours, 32 minutes which are added to the total of 112 spacewalks dedicated to assembly and a total of 706 hours [1].

We want to innovate the way in which space is built, through the assembly of modules in orbit without the need for human beings to interfere, since there are safety and time-cost problems. We want to address two main themes; Assembly method for modular capsules that would make up a future station. A autonomous system would be in charge of docking and undocking , achieving an easy connection.
