ABSTRACT:
A method, compatible with existing re-usable space shuttle vehicles, for the fabrication and assembly of large modular orbiting structures in space providing gravity-free and artificial gravity environments, using a plurality of prefabricated, fully collapsible, multi-sided pod module enclosures from lightweight laminated material with significant structural integrity, transported into space in their high density storage mode, dispensed and expanded from a delivery apparatus and formed into voluminous structural enclosures by employing the use of a series of interior guide and tension cables, and with all such assembly work performed in a pressurized environment with little need for space suit activity.
