NASA 360 Talks - Building in Space
Published on Apr 30, 2015
It takes a lot of hard work and effort to get an entire spacecraft into orbit… But what if we didn’t have to? What if we built the spacecraft IN space?
A NASA Innovative Advanced Concept is looking at just that. SpiderFab, architecture for on-orbit construction, could radically change the way we build and deploy spacecraft.
Robert Hoyt, Tethers Unlimited, Inc. discusses SpiderFab and the progress he and his company are making on this exciting technology.
