The use of existing refining methods for the extraction and purification of extraterrestrial resources exploited for manufacturing in Space imposes unique technological requirements and constraints. Among the constraints are the impracticality of using water, the lack of any gravity assistance, the inexistence of air and other substances usually available on Earth.
We are developing technologies, within our spaceKrafter platform, uniquely suited and targeting an In-Space circular economy for the extraction and purification of metals from orbital space debris, asteroids and/or lunar and martian regolith uniquely exploiting the available in-situ and orbiting Space resources (ISRU). Our process of In-Space Manufacturing (ISM), extending to the On-Orbit Servicing, Assembly and Manufacturing (OSAM) domain, supports Earth independent on-demand manufacturing, assembly, servicing, repair and recycling of critical systems addressing the mission logistics, maintenance and product deliverables and infrastructure utilization solution space...
