Space Construction
Reusable heavy-lift rockets currently under development are poised to revolutionize the space industry by providing significantly cheaper access to space. Capable of carrying over 100 tons of cargo to orbit, these rockets will drastically reduce the cost per kilogram, enabling large-scale missions that were previously cost-prohibitive. This breakthrough will unlock new opportunities for space exploration, including constructing infrastructure in orbit, deploying massive satellite constellations, and establishing bases on the Moon and Mars, ushering in a new era of space innovation and commercialization.
MetroLunar will be there to help with the construction of any large-scale space projects.
MetroLunar in Orbit
In-Orbit Construction:
The next JWST will be built in space rather than on the ground, avoiding the need to fold it like a fragile origami structure designed to survive the ordeal of launch. Building in space offers significant advantages over ground-based construction and launching. It eliminates the size and weight constraints imposed by launch vehicles, enabling larger and more complex structures. Assembling directly in space reduces the stresses of launch, allowing for lighter, more specialized materials. This approach also lowers costs and simplifies logistics by enabling multiple launches to deliver components as they are ready, paving the way for scalable infrastructure such as space stations, telescopes, and habitats to support long-term exploration and commercial ventures.
