Shenyang team focuses on how to produce strong structural parts efficiently, and how to connect them reliably.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The International Space Station, a structure assembled across nearly three decades of multinational cooperation at a cost that dwarfs most national infrastructure projects, is heading toward a planned ...
