Space Factory Building large objects directly in space has multiple perks. Instead of folding up structures to fit into rockets —like the James Webb Space Telescope, which engineers folded ...

Bloom patterns could be useful, as engineers build folding structures to send to outer space. They’re also very pretty.

The US Department of Defense's research arm, DARPA, has put out a Request for Information (RFI) for "large bio-mechanical space structures."… It all sounds a bit like science-fiction, and DARPA ...

(DARPA is now seeking public input on its plans for massive "bio-mechanical space structures" that can be grown in orbit.

Living in space is no longer a distant aspiration; it is a strategic evolution driven by innovation, economics and necessity.

The US Military's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is attempting to develop and grow large-scale "biomechanical" structures in space.

A colossal structure in the distant Universe is defying our understanding of how the Universe evolved. In light that has traveled for 6.9 billion years to reach us, astronomers have found a giant ...

“Cost-effective assembly of structures in space has the potential to transform how we operate in space, enabling less complex and cost-effective structures like large communications antennas ...

Revolutionizing space composites: A new era of satellite materials A new approach for high volumes of small satellite structures uses low-CTE, low-cost CFRP cellular core, robust single-ply skins and ...

In order to get your gears turning (I believe brain gears would count as a bio-mechanical structure), DARPA did offer a couple of ideas of what it has in mind for “structures that could be ...
