The latest breakthroughs from NOM4D will further expand the possibilities for this envisioned future.
This could activate the construction of far larger and more mass-efficient structures than currently feasible.
Caltech has partnered with Momentus to demonstrate its autonomous robotic assembly technology aboard the Momentus Vigoride Orbital Services Vehicle.
Meanwhile, the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign has developed a high-precision in-space composite-forming process.
In partnership with Voyager Space, UIUC will demonstrate this technology on the International Space Station in April 2026.
The success of these demonstrations could have far-reaching implications for both commercial space ventures and national security interests.
