Developing a patented in-space manufacturing system that will provide a method of producing huge carbon composite 3D structures in space.
Conducting a six-month test in 2021 of technology for in-space manufacturing of large 3D carbon fiber structures that could be used to construct solar arrays, star shades and interferometry antennas. Kleos has been designing and developing in-space manufacturing technology called Futrism to robotically produce a carbon-fiber I-beam with embedded fiber-optic cables that is more than 100 meters long.
