The construction of automatic assembly and docking orbital modules is progressing towards creating adaptable space habitats. The MIT TESSERAE project exemplifies self-assembling architecture ideas that originated in Japan in 1988. Hiroshi Furuya and Korio Miura proposed automating space station assembly to enhance adaptability and functionality. Their concepts include modular structures incorporating mechanisms that allow configuration changes. Such designs could optimally leverage microgravity's benefits while addressing operational challenges like deployment and docking, ultimately enhancing the viability of space settlements.
The era of inhabited space orbital stations began in 1971, and future advancements, like the TESSERAE project, focus on self-assembling space architecture for efficient construction.
In 1988, Hiroshi Furuya and Korio Miura proposed automating the assembly of space stations, transforming them into adaptive structures able to change configurations.
The adaptability of such structures requires mechanisms to change configurations, with proposed designs featuring linear trusses that are topologically similar to spatial trusses.
Adaptive modular space habitats can enhance the efficiency of assembly and operations in microgravity, addressing deployment, docking, and sealing of compartments.
