Research abstract

There is a need to enhance the commercial utilization of the International Space Station for space-based manufacturing of unique high commercial valued materials that can only be made in microgravity.nbsp;Apsidal will address the above-mentioned challenges by developing its Laser Doppler Anemometry Assisted Hypercognitive Microgravity Materials Manufacturing Unit. This would allow the manufacturing of high valued optical materials in a way that is fault tolerant, automated, universal and easily adaptable to a space-based environment. At the heart of this unit is its hypercognitive deep-learning control system for manufacturing that seamlessly allows an earth-based method to translate to a zero-gravity environment -- a considerably arduous and expensive task. In order to ensure that the deep learning control is well defined, an innovative in-situ Laser-Doppler-Anemometry based material-quality-check sensor is used as a continuous input to the deep learning-based control system for manufacturing unit. This adaptable approach also drastically minimizes human involvement and the number of space-based iterations.
