Current engineering and technological advancements support the feasibility of manufacturing, assembling, and servicing spacecraft and materials directly in space.
The retrieved papers provide strong evidence that in-space manufacturing, orbital biomanufacturing, and on-orbit robotic assembly are active areas of technological capability and deployment. Papers [7], [8], and [9] explicitly discuss the mechanisms, systems, and strategic importance of manufacturing and servicing spacecraft and materials directly in space. There are no papers refuting this claim.
