Interface Design for On-Orbit Assembly of Space Telescopes

Traditional spacecraft design has reached the limits of size and volume that current launchers allow. This is especially true for space telescopes (James Webb), where size is directly correlated with performance. A solution to this is on-orbit assembly, however some enabling technologies are insufficiently developed. One of the most important...
