“…The concept of commercial space endeavours and colonies is now closer to reality due to advancements in cost efficiency and technology. The space economy is at a critical juncture, with In-Space Manufacturing (ISM) positioned as a transformative trend, capable of revolutionizing space system design by facilitating the production of goods and materials directly in space, thus bypassing the expensive and resource-intensive Earth-tospace transport (K. Nieman., 2022). A significant advantage of ISM is the accessibility to vast solar system resources, with Earth currently utilizing a minuscule fraction of the Sun's output.…”
