STARGATE project to 3D print metallic space propulsion components on the ISS
Sector: Aerospace & Defense
Source: TCT Magazine
The STARGATE project aims to additively manufacture functional metal space propulsion components on board the International Space Station. The first part, a 1-Newton thruster developed by DLR, will be printed in space and returned to Earth for hot-fire testing. The project studies how microgravity influences the printing process and material properties, potentially enabling manufacturing metal par
