NASA, defense, academia, and commercial space companies seek to develop orbital manufacturing to enhance mission capabilities. In-space welding and joining are needed for space-based manufacturing. We propose a permanent low-earth orbital welding and joining testbed for scientific study of relevant physical phenomena and development of welding and joining processes to technical maturity. Such data will enable integrated computational materials engineering(ICME)to elucidate the underlying physical and metallurgical processes needed to achieve critical space welding and joining operations.
