Abstract

In this paper, we propose a conceptual framework and reference architecture for space production systems (SPS). A review of the existing digital architecture approaches and standards for space systems identifies a number of potential avenues. Based on identified gaps, we extend one of these standards to meet production system requirements and define a reference architecture for space production systems. An initial design is presented, then validated through implementation in a self-contained ground-based robotic demonstration cell that can assemble a variety of hexagonal panels into a number of different designs.
