Advanced Digital Materials and Manufacturing for Space (ADMMS) Overview Image Description: ADMMS will focus on advanced manufacturing technologies for space, including identifying several target product areas and applications, approaches, mechanisms, and facilities of initial interest. The anchor element of the ADMMS will be the ARC “SpaceShop”, based around the FabLab concept, developed by the MIT Center for Bits and Atoms (CBA). Goals & Objectives: • Apply FabLab-based advanced manufacturing technologies to specific ARC hardware created out of digital materials • Create in-house and leveraged capability • Build ARC-based user community • Create new research arenas and topics for ARC Expertise (Software, Hardware, and Machine Shops) Tasks/Transition Rationale Applicability: National Manufacturing Initiative, Agency Strategic Plan, Space Technology Program (STP) Grand Challenges, STP Roadmap Technical Areas, and Center Specific Objectives are all applicable for this initiative. Beneficiaries: OCT, ARC, Mission Directorates, Other NASA Centers, Academia, Industry, and outside contractors/partners. Expected Outcomes and Benefits:Advanced, efficient prototype and flight article manufacturing capabilities (ground and in-space); new innovative space exploration products and spinoffs, rapid prototyping, reduced costs, empowered workforce with increased capability to engage in technology innovation; education and outreach; and added national visibility and support for this capability. Team: NASA ARC, NASA JSC, MIT, Stanford, SJSU, others TBD Study Elements & Tasks • Obtain and install Advanced Digital Manufacturing hardware for the ARC SpaceShop, an innovative design and manufacturing facility • Pilot Project Examples for planning and scaling purposes • Multi-Purpose Avionics Core Element (M-PACE) [task 1] • Nano-satellite Evolution using Adv Mfg technologies • Biological Payload (SESLO/SEVO/PharmaSAT, etc) • Science Instrument Payload (Optical/Photonic) • Synthetic Biology Space Systems and Components • ISS Hardware (Ground and in-situ) Transition/Insertion Plan To be defined and documented as the pilot project progresses
