Archinaut is a customizable suite of manufacturing and assembly technology that can be integrated into free-flying satellites. Archinaut utilizes customizable extended structure 3D printing technologies paired with precise, autonomous robotic systems, to fabricate complex space-optimized structures of indefinite lengths using space-rated thermoplastics. This enabling technology is customizable and upgradable to serve the needs of the customer. Archinaut can be applied in numerous configurations, providing numerous capabilities: 

• Expansive solar array systems for significant power improvements providing nearly 5x the power of the state-of-the-art
• Implementation of key technologies for on-orbit refueling or resupply missions
• Reconfiguration of launch infrastructure that would otherwise be constituted as space debris into valuable assets
• Extended antenna for remote sensing, telecommunications, or scientific exploration
• Reconfigurable persistent platform structures 
• Large-scale baseline interferometry exploring multiple investigative applications 
• Large apertures for parabolic reflectors and array backplanes typically reserved for larger satellites

The benefits of Archinaut extend well beyond its manufacturing capabilities. Traditionally, satellite and infrastructure designs have been constrained by launch-shroud-size and environment survivability requirements. Archinaut technology helps to circumvent these restraints imposed by launch by constructing the assets in space. By eliminating spacecraft volume limits imposed by rockets, manufacturing in space can also help to dramatically reduce costs of launch. The cost of launching the spacecraft decreases from the ability to downsize the class of the satellite bus. Being able to launch on a smaller rocket ultimately drives down launch costs.
