Tereza is a London-based science and technology journalist, aspiring fiction writer and amateur gymnast. Originally from Prague, the Czech Republic, she spent the first seven years of her career working as a reporter, script-writer and presenter for various TV programmes of the Czech Public Service Television. She later took a career break to pursue further education and added a Master's in Science from the International Space University, France, to her Bachelor's in Journalism and Master's in Cultural Anthropology from Prague's Charles University. She worked as a reporter at the Engineering and Technology magazine, freelanced for a range of publications including Live Science, Space.com, Professional Engineering, Via Satellite and Space News and served as a maternity cover science editor at the European Space Agency.
The company has so far only demonstrated how the technology works in simulated space-like conditions in a test chamber. Mitsubishi researchers printed an antenna dish 6.5 inches wide that performed in tests just as well as a conventional satellite antenna. The sensitivity of antennas is directly related to their size; the larger the antenna, the better it detects and transmits its signal.
So, by 3D-printing antennas directly in space, operators would not only save money, as their satellites would be lighter, they would also be able to fit much smaller satellites with much larger antennas than they can today. The technology, the company said in an emailed statement, paves the way for the"3D printing of very large structures in space," which wouldn't fit into a rocket fairing at all.
The photosensitive resin is also heat resistant and can survive in temperatures of up to 750 degrees Fahrenheit , which is higher than what spacecraft experience in orbit around
