'Additive-manufacturing in space has now become possible.'
A new in-orbit implementation of 3D printing technology could significantly reduce the costs of satellite launches.
Antennas are more sensitive the larger they are, meaning there is a significant limitation on the sensitivity of antennas in space due to the constraints of conventional satellite launch methods. They also have to be built to be sturdy enough to withstand the vibrations during launch without breaking, meaning they have to use heavier materials, driving up the launch cost for the satellite operator.
