REDWIRE SPACE INC
MADE IN SPACE, INC. (MIS) PROPOSES THE CONSTRUCTION OF LARGE BASELINE STRUCTURES, 15 METERS OR GREATER, FOR INFRARED SPACE INTERFEROMETRY MISSIONS BY AUTONOMOUS IN-SPACE MANUFACTURING AND ASSEMBLY. THIS ENABLES THE DEPLOYMENT OF LARGE PRIMARY TRUSSES UNCONSTRAINED BY LAUNCH LOAD OR VOLUME RESTRICTIONS THAT MEET SCIENCE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE HIGH ANGULAR RESOLUTIONS (LESS THAN 0.3 ARCSECONDS) NECESSARY TO DETECT PLANETS NEAR BRIGHT STARS AND MEASURE INDIVIDUAL OBJECTS IN STAR CLUSTERS. IN THIS PHASE I EFFORT, MIS INVESTIGATES THE MASS, PERFORMANCE, AND MISSION PLANNING BENEFITS OF IN-SPACE MANUFACTURING FOR STRUCTURALLY-CONNECTED INTERFEROMETERS (SCI).
