For bigger spacecraft capable of executing bigger missions, some of the assembly may be done in space. Your challenge is to design a simple approach that enables components to be assembled in space.

Summary

Our vision is to assimilate the difference between our terrestrial and spatial environment as an advantage. Conventional construction and assembly solutions may be incompatible with the conditions present in outer space, but this should not represent a limitation, but rather an opportunity to expand our work and creation tools.Our solution is a simple and versatile approach that contains two key points: pre-assembly and biomimetics.One way to take advantage of both conditions in the spaces of origin and destination is through a pre-assembly. Since one of the biggest challenges during assembly in space may be to position the elements that make it up, this point must be covered with the manu

How We Addressed This Challenge

Through the structural design of Polyhedra and based on biomimetic systems, we generate an automatic structural construction system, based on a Dodecahedron, which self-assembles through a Hydromechanical system,

Currently it is difficult to assemble structures in space, so a pre-assembled and automated solution can generate a more effective solution at a much lower cost.

Using a mechanical hydraulic system, it spreads metallized plates and then structures them in a polyhedron, to finally weld them.

We hope that with this system space construction will be much more profitable as well as its versatility and adaptability.

How We Developed This Project

we use, Cad softwares to design the estructure , Fluid sim to simulate the Automatization system, and many ideas based in biomimetic systems, whith Inovate Structures

How We Used Space Agency Data in This Project

Whe did not used many information, just materials that are used in de ship, and other ones like the temperatures in the space
