Since its origins, humankind has been interested in space and its exploration. While during the second half of the twentieth century space exploration was primarily driven by geopolitical and scientific motivations, in recent years the paradigm of the New Space Economy has progressively emerged, characterized by increasing private sector participation and a growing demand for space services and infrastructures. The expansion of activities in low Earth orbit for telecommunication and Earth observation, together with the prospects of utilizing the Moon and deep space, requires the development of increasingly complex and large-scale infrastructures. However, the current production model remains strongly constrained by launch, which represents the primary bottleneck of contemporary space architecture.
