"By improving the communication capability of small spacecraft to support data-intensive science missions, OCSD will advance the potential to become a more viable option for mission planners,

#Made In Space successfully completes 3d printing in vacuum of space, outside the ISS 3d printers have slowly
where giants like NASA are even embracing the technology as a way of manufacturing spacecraft parts on long-term missions in the future.
Made In Space, which was founded with the express focus of zero gravity 3d printing, has announced just that they have concluded successfully 3d printing experiments in the vacuum of space.
To explain Made In Space was founded in 2010 as the first space manufacturing specialist in the world.
Their goal? To make additive manufacturing viable in space, with the express purpose of broadening the scope of space development.
Founded by Aaron Kemmer, Jason Dunn and Mike Chen, they have been very successful. In their own words, their they have realized over more than 30,000 hours of 3d printing testing, with more than 400 parabolas of microgravity tests.
But their biggest claim to fame: last year, they were contracted by NASA for the design,
building and operation of the first 3d printer in space, called the 3d printing In Zero-Ge Experiment.
This concept was taken to the International space station (the ISS), and was controlled from a mission operations center at the Made In Space HQ, located in the NASA Ames Research Park in San jose, California.
This Zero-G 3d printer is the first machine to operate in zero gravity, and was launched into orbit on September 21, 2014.
It served as a test bed for understanding the long-term effects of microgravity on 3d printing and the parts as well crucial information for use in future space exploration.
the team since moved on to 3d printing in the vacuum of space outside the ISS. ast month Made In Space successfully completed a round of tests,
proving that their next generation of 3d printers can operate in the vacuum of space, they now announce on their website.
The zero gravity 3d printer used in space. This latest mission is set to be a precursor for the company commercial Additive manufacturing Facility,
Made In Space chief engineer Mike Snyder reveals. hese preliminary tests, combined with our experience with microgravity additive manufacturing,
show that the direct manufacturing of structures in space is possible using Made In Space developed technologies.
Complete structural optimization is now possible in space. An initial version of this AMF, complete with vacuum-compatible extrusion heads,
this fantastic initiative uses multipurpose solar-powered suitcase 3d printers that can be used to manufacture all sorts of medical tools in the remote corners of the world and even in space by astronauts.
which is used to prep the forthcoming mission to Mars. ince the International space station is powered by solar panels,
I decided to use solar energy to power my 3d printer to make medical supplies during my simulated Mars mission.
and stacking several Cubes together in the same space it takes for one solar panel can produce 18x as much energy.
most of the materials that the researchers are interested in working with are more big enough for this to not be a serious problem. hatever it is that comes out of the nozzle is trapped in space wherever we place it,

This is particularly evident in space-based projects, such as those carried out by Made in Space.
However, long before extra-planetary manufacturing, on-site manufacturing will prove useful to produce useful tools in remote areas of our own planet.
