Space truss construction studiesThe ACCESS Shuttle Flight Experiment, designed to evaluate EVA for on-orbit assembly of erectable truss structure, is reviewed and principal results are summarized. In addition, two on-going ground test programs that address EVA assembly of full scale Space Station truss structure using a mobile transporter are described. A typical truss joint design that enables EVA assembly while satisfying structural requirements is also presented. Preliminary results indicate that assembly rates in excess of one strut/min are achievable.
