Orbital Construction Pioneers
Orbital Construction Pioneers (OCP) is a Texas-based company developing a new method for fabricating large space structures using non-traditional materials. Their approach aims to create flexible, mission-adjustable components for habitats and vessels in orbit.
Why it matters
Advancements in orbital manufacturing could significantly reduce the cost and complexity of long-term space exploration and habitation.
Orbital Construction Pioneers (OCP) is developing an orbital fabrication process for very large space structures that use non-traditional methods and materials. The patent-pending process uses unusual raw materials and methods to fabricate components in orbit that can be used to construct large space structures.
