IN-SPACE CONSTRUCTION TOOLKIT

IN-SPACE CONSTRUCTION TOOLKIT

The Toolkit is the suite of technologies being developed to support in-space servicing, construction (welding, cutting, additive), proximity X-ray inspection of the interior of satellites, and military operations. The Toolkit consists of a robotic arm and arm-agnostic end effector. ThinkToolkit can turn any medium sized or larger spacecraft into a space domain awareness, anomaly diagnosis, and In-space Servicing, Assembly, Manufacturing, & Construction (ISAM&C) capable craft, vastly increasing capabilities of any mission and diagnosing anomalies.

Electron Beam Welding

Electron beam welding has been successfully tested in space. Although it requires a high vacuum environment, it can often be seen in specialized production facilities on Earth.

It is arguably the best welding method, with highest strength of welds and the smallest heat affected zone. It can weld 30 cm of steel in a single pass, with energy efficiency over 90%.

LARGE SCALE SPACE STRUCTURES

The in-orbit robotic assembly and electron beam welding can enable building significantly larger structures of next generations of space stations. We can imagine orbital shipyards, domes and propellant tanks of lunar station etc.
