Abstract: Modern deployable space structures have enabled spectacular missions like the James Webb Space Telescope, but they are constrained by fairing size and by a tradeoff between deployed size and ...

Researchers have designed a flexible material that could pave the way for the development of adaptable space structures. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

Scientists have recently uncovered portal-like structures in space that could revolutionize our understanding of the universe. These findings, rooted in advanced astronomical observations and ...

For decades, engineers designing space structures have been constrained by the rocket fairing: Only hardware that can be folded up to fit inside can go to orbit. This makes in-space assembly time ...

Composite materials are redefining what is possible in space exploration. Their high strength, light weight and versatility make them indispensable in current and future space missions. NASA’s Artemis ...

The next housing boom will happen above Earth. Replacements for an aging International Space Station (ISS) slated for a 2030 decommission, NASA’s Artemis mission returning humans to the moon and ...
