Connect with the MMA team’s Blake Fardulis (Mechanical Design Engineer), Alexi Rakow (Chief Engineer), and Mark Bailey (VP of Business Development) at AIAA SciTech this week, January 6-10, in Orlando, Florida!
Blake will be presenting our recent publication Development of In-Space Assembled Tubular Masts (ATMs) regarding an in-space assembled boom technology developed under a 2024 NASA SBIR Phase I effort. ATMs are a new deployable space structures technology that enables closed cross-section booms and trusses to be assembled on orbit. ATMs present distinct performance advantages over current state-of-the-art deployable booms, while avoiding existing fabrication, furling, and deployment problems associated with permanently bonded closed cross-section high-strain composite solutions such as Collapsible Tubular Masts (CTMs).
Blake is presenting today Monday January 6, 2025 from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM Eastern Time, in room Florida Ballroom A in Session: SCS-02/STR-06, In-Space Servicing, Assembly and Manufacturing (ISAM) I
