Keck Institute for Space Studies - Short Course

The Keck Institute for Space Studies (KISS) invites all interested researchers and students to attend the following short course: "Using In-Situ Resources for 3D Additive Construction in Space".

This short course gives an overview of the state of the art and of the key challenges to be overcome in order to gradually ease into in-situ production of structures and products that can offset the tremendous cost of bringing everything from Earth. By exploiting new in-situ 3D additive technologies to create space mission architectures, the dream of expanding human civilization into the solar system and creating a new space based economy will become possible.

Speakers Include:

• Rob Mueller - NASA/Kennedy Space Center
  Space Environments and Planetary Civil Engineering
• Phil Metzger - University of Central Florida
  Material Properties of Regolith and Other Materials Available on the Moon, Mars and Asteroids for 3D Additive Construction
• A. Scott Howe - JPL/Caltech
  Space Architecture
• Brian Wilcox - JPL/Caltech
  Introduction to Robotics for 3D Additive Construction

There is no fee to attend, no registration is required. Seating is limited and available on a first-come, first served basis. 8:00 am coffee and an informal lunch is provided for all attendees.
