Project on the development of a heavy autonomous module for the experimental-industrial manufacturing of materials
Abstract
The paper describes the development project for an automonous space-manufacturing module (ASMM), a long-operating orbital platform that must provide for an instrumentation acceleration level of 10 exp -3 to 10 exp -6. The main purpose of the ASMM is the manufacturing in space of small batches (up to 1500/yr) of high-cost materials for use in microelectronics, IR technology, and optical engineering, as well as composite materials, special alloys, and drugs.
