The development of additive technologies will make it possible to develop a highly efficient system for manufacturing rocket and space technology
MOSCOW, December 3. /TASS/. Regolith and space debris can be used in the future as a material for 3D printing technology. This was announced by the first Deputy Director General of Roscosmos for the development of the orbital group and promising projects Yuri Urlichich.
He noted that the state Corporation now faces a number of tasks in this direction. "We need to create requirements for printing in orbit, achieve and adapt existing technologies, design production in space <...> of additive technologies, we need to find the material. It can be regolith, if it is the Moon, it can be space debris, if we are in near-earth space, "Urlichich said during the leader forum" Additive technologies. Expanding horizons".
According to the first Deputy Director, the development of additive technologies will make it possible to develop a highly efficient system for manufacturing rocket and space technology in outer space.
In September 2019, Sergey Kuznetsov, General designer of the Salyut design Bureau, told TASS that additive technologies will be used in the manufacture of Angara rocket elements. He noted that for the carrier, they plan to print special lodgements-adapters for connecting the new balloon, created instead of the old Ukrainian one, with a seat.
