#Made In Space successfully completes 3d printing in vacuum of space, outside the ISS 3d printers have slowly
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.

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.

#3d printing in the Vacuum of Space Now Possible from Made In Space At the end of last year,
Made In Space made what was a huge achievement for 3d printing in space by sending their Zero G 3d printer, capable of 3d printing without gravity, to the International space station.
There, it has printed 3d numerous components, including a now famous wrench and twenty-three other prints that have returned
but the true goal of NASA and Made In Space has been to 3d print in vacuum of space itself.
Today, Made In Space has announced that such a feat has now been proven possible through a series of tests performed here On earth.
Made In Space has been working on a commercial 3d printing lab that will be flown to the ISS later this year.

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.

one company is planning a rather different approach to usher in a new era of space travel.
Canadian space firm Thoth has outlined plans for an elevator to space, potentially saving huge amounts of fuel and money that form part of the vast cost of launching rockets into orbit.
The space tower would be more than 20 times the height of Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world.
President and chief executive of Thoth Caroline Roberts claims the space tower will also include self-landing rocket technologies to herald a new era of space transportation.
Referring to the powered landing system being developed by Space X, she said:''Landing on a barge at sea level is a great demonstration,
but landing at 12 miles (20 km) above sea level will make space flight more like taking a passenger jet.'
'From the top of the tower, space planes will launch in a single stage to orbit,
'While other designs for space elevators have involved complex designs using graphene or carbon nanotubes, the Thoth design reportedly uses inflatable sections
This is not the first time a space elevator has been proposed, with many engineers considering it as a possibility

The moon atmosphere is referred technically to as an exosphere because it so thin. Exospheres are the most common type of atmosphere in our solar system,
so scientists are keen to learn more about them. t's critical to learn about the lunar exosphere before sustained human exploration substantially alters it,
Dr Benna said. Since the moon's atmosphere is so thin, rocket exhaust from spacecraft could easily change its composition.
Most of the moon's exosphere comes from the solar wind, which is a thin stream of electrically conducting gas blown from the surface of the sun into space at around a million miles per hour.
Most of the solar wind is hydrogen and helium but it contains many other elements in small quantities,
and argon are volatile enough to be returned back to space. The rest of the elements will stick indefinitely to the moon surface.
Ladee NMS instrument confirmed the moon exosphere is made up of mostly helium, argon, and neon.
which allowed the team to understand how they are supplied to the exosphere, and how they are lost ultimately.
While most of the lunar exosphere comes from the solar wind, the readings showed that some gas comes from lunar rocks.
The team also noted that a second surprising behaviour of argon that the overall amount in the lunar exosphere was not constant over time.
Ladee readings also revealed an unexpected source of some of the helium in the lunar exosphere. bout 20 percent of the helium is coming from the moon itself, most likely as the result from the decay of radioactive thorium and uranium
