space construction

Space construction involves building structures in space beyond Earth’s atmosphere, such as orbital stations or habitats. Since traditional materials and methods aren’t feasible in microgravity, engineers design modular components that can be assembled using robotic tools or astronauts. Construction often uses prefabricated parts launched from Earth, then assembled in orbit. Techniques include welding, clipping, or bolting parts together in microgravity. This approach enables the creation of habitats for humans, science labs, or telescopes, supporting long-term exploration and development of space. It requires careful planning to account for safety, structural integrity, and the unique environment of space.
