This talk will cover the history of welding in space, what is currently being done, and the future of welding in space.\u00a0<\/p> Cold welding is a \u201cnaturally occurring problem\u201d that has yet to be harnessed as a useful welding technique, and what\u2019s even more convenient than sticking two pieces of super cold metal together and creating a fully functioning weld, but space is technically already an ideal welding environment whose potential has not been investigated enough.<\/p> \u201cAstronauts have been trained to run a few experimental welds, but a highly trained and skilled welder has never been sent to space as an astronaut, yet.\u201d A direct quote to me from the director of human space flight at Marshall Space flight center. Someone needs to do it if we want to truly advance human space flight.\u00a0<\/p> I hope that you have lots of questions now, because there will be a group discussion after the presentation and we hope you can join us!<\/p> Dinner will be provided for this event<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table> |
