The Selection of Constructors for Space Construction

by Brent Helleckson, Univ of Colorado at Boulder, United States,
Elaine Hansen, Univ of Colorado at Boulder, United States,

Document Type: Proceeding Paper

Part of: Engineering, Construction, and Operations in Space II

Abstract:

The process of space construction is defined by the construction goal and by the construction system selected to accomplish that goal. The goal provides the tasks that must be executed, while the selected system provides the capabilities to execute them. This paper outlines a high-level model of space construction and illustrates the relationship between constructor (i.e. 'worker') and task. The construction process model is then utilized to investigate the process of constructor selection.
