The next step for the exploration of space seems to require the human participation by
means of a long-lasting lunar outpost. Therefore, this paper attempts to review the up-to-date …

This review paper attempts to provide a useful reference for space habitat designs that
advance the ability of humans to live in space for long periods of time. Five space habitat …

Recently, demands for space habitats have increased significantly with the growth of space
applications for micro-gravity investigation and space travel. Therefore, there is an urgent …

This study presents a finite element analysis approach to nonlinear and linearized tensegrity
dynamics based on the Lagrangian method with nodal coordinate vectors as the …

Gravity plays a crucial role in physiology. The lack of gravity, like in long duration spaceflight
missions, cause pathologies in eg, the musculoskeletal system, cardiovascular …

Carbon fiber reinforced epoxy composites (CFRECs) with excellent liquid oxygen (LOX)
compatibility and superior mechanical properties are highly desirable for developing LOX …

Mission planning for deep space detectors is a pivotal step in the successful execution of
detection missions. Traditional planning approaches, which typically compartmentalize …

We develop a general approach to study the equilibrium and form-finding of any general
tensegrity systems with rigid bodies. The equilibrium equations are derived in an explicit …

Continuum space manipulators have advantages in working in the confined spaces to
conduct some fine operating tasks for high-value malfunctioning satellites, while Cable …

Tensegrity structures obtained from the same connectivity patterns are said to belong to
families. The Octahedron and X-Octahedron families are examples of these. In the literature …
