Summary
•Modular “Digital Material” technology for spacecraft subsystems 
and components to maximize payload volume
•Adding assembly capability to the ISS 
•Numerous Technologies Advanced
• Manufacturing
• Fabrication
• Assembly
• Future Work leads to Developing advanced manufacturing 
technologies that enable the development of more capable and 
lower-cost space missions and launch vehicles. 
Rodent Research RR
Muscular diseases
Without normal gravity, muscles 
begin to atrophy with in days 
after an astronaut reaches orbit.
Osteoporosis 
After being in a long stayed at the 
ISS, astronauts loose bone 
density.
Each astronaut has to excises 2 hrs and eat 
food that has calcium and vitamin D
The exercise prevent lost of muscle and bone 
density

Mars is similar to Earth in many respects, has many of the same 
"systems" that characterize our world , home.
Like Earth, Mars has an atmosphere, hydrosphere , cryosphere
and lithosphere . In other words , Mars has air systems , water , 
ice and geology all interact to produce the Martian atmosphere.
