SpaceArch New NASA is beginning the deployment of its first physical Digital Lab cell as the founding node of a future international intermodular research and technology-development network.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The SpaceArch New NASA Digital Labs \u2014 SNNDL<\/strong> initiative proposes the creation of a distributed infrastructure capable of connecting researchers, engineers, scientists, Artificial Intelligence developers, universities, manufacturers, startups, technology companies and investors around a shared portfolio of high-complexity projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The initial corridor is designed to connect:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Argentina \u2192 Brazil \u2192 Dubai \u2192 Tokyo<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n as the first territorial architecture of a network that could later incorporate additional nodes across the Americas, Europe, Africa, MENA and Asia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The objective is not simply to create several connected laboratories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The objective is to create a distributed international laboratory<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Each Digital Lab operates as a specialized cell, while the entire network functions as a single research organism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With an operational swarm of 1,000 to 10,000 Digital Labs (DLs) interconnected by agentic AI and coordinated by the ecosystem, the R&D&I equation undergoes an exponential transformation. We’re not talking about an incremental improvement of 20% or 50%, but rather an order-of-magnitude shift in speed and capital efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Estimated impact on acceleration, research costs, prototyping, and manufacturing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Research acceleration (100 to 1,000): A design, simulation, adversarial validation, and optimization cycle that takes a traditional industrial structure between 2 and 5 years (physical testing, wind tunnel testing, test bench failures) is compressed into weeks or days. By parallelizing thousands of design variants across the swarm, the time required to find the optimal architecture for a satellite, robot, or vehicle is drastically reduced because combinatorial exploration is performed massively and simultaneously across the network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Reduction in research and engineering costs ($90% to 98%): Capitalizable man-hours of engineers calculating by hand, iterating CAD drawings linearly, or setting up preliminary physical labs are almost entirely eliminated. The marginal cost of simulating an additional generation of models in the digital environment is virtually zero compared to building physical mock-ups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Reduction in physical prototyping costs (95% or more): The fundamental advantage of the model is that entire generations of obsolete or failed models are discarded in the virtual domain. In traditional industry, each failed physical prototype costs millions in materials, workshop hours, and logistics. With rigorous filtering by digital twins, the first physical prototype to enter the real-world test bench is typically already a highly mature model (H6\/H7), eliminating the graveyard of useless prototypes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cost reduction in the manufacture of intermediate models (80% to 90% or direct elimination): “Intermediate models” (test parts, subassemblies, experimental chassis) are no longer manufactured using expensive dies or slow machining processes. By integrating with advanced additive manufacturing and AI-guided robotic cells, only the exact components that passed the swarm stress test are manufactured on demand, optimizing the use of raw materials and energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The New Industrial Paradigm<\/p>\n\n\n\n When a network of this scale discards ten thousand faulty variants of a satellite or autonomous vehicle in 72 hours\u2014something that would take a conventional company a decade of physical prototyping to eliminate in laboratories\u2014the cost per unit of useful innovation plummets. The economics of development are no longer penalized by physical error and become governed purely by the speed of logical processing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The end of the traditional analytical bottleneck: While conventional research centers rely on linear sequencing, paper bureaucracy, and limited human resources, a network of one thousand to ten thousand Digital Labs (DLs) operating with decentralized, local agentic swarms can parallelize experimentation, design, and prototype validation on an unprecedented timescale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hierarchical intelligence architecture (Edge and Core): The local AIs of each DL handle hyper-local iteration, physical\/virtual trial and error, and real-time code or component optimization, while the central AIs act as a macro synthesizer that processes, cross-references, and distills the discoveries from the entire constellation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Collapse of the technology development cycle: By synchronizing thousands of autonomous nodes online, a research hypothesis or technology prototype no longer takes years to test; the entire network simulates, breaks, fixes, and evolves it in a matter of hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Distributed sovereignty and resilience: By not depending on a single centralized supercomputer but on a constellation of interconnected modular laboratories, the system becomes immune to systemic failures, allowing innovation to flow organically from the periphery to the core and vice versa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Industrial-scale leap: Digital Labs cease to be mere advanced workstations, becoming the cellular nodes of a research and development superorganism, where the collective intelligence of agentic swarms eliminates the downtime of traditional R&D.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Network-speed prototyping: The ability to simultaneously simulate, iterate, and validate across thousands of distributed nodes means that any technological innovation\u2014from composite materials to propulsion or modular architecture\u2014is designed, tested, and refined instantly through sheer intelligent saturation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Decentralized technological sovereignty: By interconnecting these DLs with global platforms and GenAcademy programs, an ecosystem is created where the capacity to invent and manufacture is no longer the domain of corporate or state monopolies, becoming an open, modular, and self-governing network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Exponential compression of the R&D cycle: Technological acceleration is multiplied by a factor of several orders of magnitude, transforming processes that traditionally took decades (such as the development of new materials, drugs, or aerospace systems) into cycles of weeks or months thanks to parallel execution across thousands of nodes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Network effect in problem-solving: With a constellation of thousands of interconnected Digital Labs, every failure, stress test, or discovery at a local node instantly feeds into the central core, allowing the global network to learn from millions of simultaneous experiments in real time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Breaking the law of diminishing returns: While centralized science suffers from bureaucratic and linear funding bottlenecks, the distributed agentic swarm model eliminates administrative friction, enabling the technological curve to adopt a near-vertical slope of continuous and sovereign progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n SNNDL \u2014 SpaceArch New NASA Digital Labs<\/strong> is a distributed architecture for research, simulation, engineering, prototyping and technological validation, primarily focused on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The central concept is to partially replace the traditional paradigm:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mega Laboratory \u2192 Mega Budget \u2192 Large Centralized Team \u2192 Long Development Cycle<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n with a different architecture:<\/p>\n\n\n\n **Distributed Digital Labs<\/p>\n\n\n\n Digital Labs do not replace specialized physical laboratories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n They complement them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n They allow a substantial portion of the intellectual, mathematical, computational and engineering work to take place before expensive hardware is built.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The first major reduction in development cost does not necessarily come from manufacturing cheaper components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It comes from discarding incorrect configurations as early as possible<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n SNNDL therefore adopts a progressive development methodology:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hypothesis A hypothesis that fails during simulation costs orders of magnitude less than an infrastructure system that fails after construction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For this reason, within SNNDL, Artificial Intelligence should not function merely as a writing assistant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It should operate as a:<\/p>\n\n\n\n scientific and engineering coprocessor.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n One of the structural concepts of the program is AI-WIFI<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n AI-WIFI should not be understood merely as wireless connectivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It represents a conceptual architecture of distributed interoperable intelligence<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Each SNNDL node may contain different AI models, agents, knowledge bases, human specialists, scientific software and experimental capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The network allows these resources to work collectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A problem initiated in Argentina could be:<\/p>\n\n\n\n modeled in Brazil,<\/p>\n\n\n\n submitted to advanced simulation in Dubai,<\/p>\n\n\n\n industrially optimized with specialists in Tokyo,<\/p>\n\n\n\n and then experimentally tested again at the original laboratory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The laboratory no longer coincides with a building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The laboratory becomes the entire network<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Each Digital Lab can specialize in different modules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n DL-A \u2014 Aerospace Systems<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Orbital access, vehicles, aerodynamics and orbital dynamics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n DL-B \u2014 Energy Systems<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Orbital photovoltaics, energy storage, energy transfer and geothermal systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n DL-C \u2014 AI & Simulation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Scientific models, digital twins, optimization and multiparametric simulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n DL-D \u2014 Robotics<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Orbital robots, autonomous assembly and remote maintenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n DL-E \u2014 Advanced Materials<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Membranes, composites, inflatable structures, thermal protection and radiation shielding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n DL-F \u2014 Computational Infrastructure<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Micro data centers, orbital edge computing and Earth\u2013Orbit\u2013Moon communications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n DL-G \u2014 Biotechnology<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n RetroAge, computational biology, bioinformatics and regenerative systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n DL-H \u2014 Industrialization<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Design for manufacturing, BigFabs, robotic production and cost analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Projects can move through several laboratories simultaneously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is precisely the difference between a distributed system and a traditional isolated laboratory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The first international corridor can be structured as a complementary chain of capabilities<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Initial node for conceptual development, engineering, software, AI-Native research, prototyping, systems architecture and talent development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It can operate as an entry point for new technological hypotheses and MVPs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A strategic connection with one of Latin America\u2019s largest industrial, scientific, aerospace, energy and manufacturing ecosystems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Brazil can contribute industrial scale, engineering capabilities and access to regional production chains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A potential node for business coordination, investment, international infrastructure, technology projects and MENA\u2013Asia\u2013Europe connectivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A high-value node for robotics, electronics, advanced materials, precision engineering, automation, manufacturing and technological cooperation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The combination is intended to generate complementarity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The objective is not for every Digital Lab to do the same thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The objective is for each node to contribute what it does best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The SNNDL model can be summarized as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Low Cost The Low Cost \/ High Impact<\/strong> concept does not mean lowering technical standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It means concentrating capital on the areas that truly require physical infrastructure while moving everything else into the digital domain whenever possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The first projects intentionally form a highly transversal portfolio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n They do not all share the same Technology Readiness Level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some are conceptual architectures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Others may move directly into advanced simulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some require fundamental research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Others may reach MVP stage relatively quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n SNNDL will establish a specific TRL \u2014 Technology Readiness Level<\/strong> for each subsystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n PAM Orbital Hive<\/strong> explores a fundamental idea:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The architecture begins with an initial orbital enclosure within which robots and autonomous systems could progressively:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The principle can be summarized as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Seed Infrastructure \u2192 Robotic Construction \u2192 Orbital Factory \u2192 Expanded Infrastructure<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The strategic transition is therefore from:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Space Station<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n toward:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Orbital Manufacturing Organism.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Digital Lab should study:<\/p>\n\n\n\n PAM Orbital Hive represents a potential shift from infrastructure that is merely transported into orbit toward infrastructure that can progressively expand itself there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One of the largest constraints on any orbital economy remains the transportation of mass from Earth\u2019s surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n SpaceArch proposes investigating a hybrid architecture designed to transfer part of the energy burden from the vehicle itself to reusable ground infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The concept combines:<\/p>\n\n\n\n An essential technical distinction must remain clear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The ground infrastructure does not completely replace orbital propulsion<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A terminal propulsion stage would still need to supply the additional velocity required for orbital insertion and circularization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The hypothesis is therefore not:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201celiminate the rocket.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n It is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Critical SNNDL research parameters would include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The program should ultimately be evaluated through measurable engineering, economic, sustainability and operational performance indicators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The SpaceArch Supertechnology Type 7<\/strong> category can operate within SNNDL as a framework for frontier technologies whose scientific or technological maturity remains insufficient for classification as conventional engineering systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A methodological distinction is essential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A Supertechnology<\/strong> should not be defined merely because it is extraordinary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It should be defined because:<\/p>\n\n\n\n SNNDL should therefore apply an especially rigorous protocol to this category:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Extraordinary Hypothesis The Type 7<\/strong> designation can therefore serve as an internal classification for advanced exploratory research rather than as a declaration that the technology already exists operationally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This program investigates orbital systems with very low mass and very large deployable surface area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The concept integrates:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The central engineering logic is to modify one of the most important variables in orbital economics:<\/p>\n\n\n\n maximize functional surface area per kilogram launched.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The basic unit can be conceived as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Technology Core + Folded Membrane + Electronics<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n which, after launch, transforms into a significantly larger operational infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This could allow future platforms to provide:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Energy-as-a-Service<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Compute-as-a-Service<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Communications-as-a-Service<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n through modular orbital infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The engineering challenges are substantial:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Every one of these variables must ultimately be experimentally validated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n M-777 represents a higher level of system integration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While other projects investigate individual components, M-777 explores how these components could evolve into a complete orbital logistics network<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The architecture conceptually integrates:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Within SNNDL, this architecture should be divided into multiple independent validation programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Areas requiring especially rigorous research include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n structural materials; Claims regarding future efficiency, losses, service lifetime or economic costs must remain research targets until supported by corresponding experimental evidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n SNNDL does not limit human expansion to transportation systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A civilization seeking to operate for increasingly long periods beyond Earth must improve its understanding of:<\/p>\n\n\n\n SpaceArch RetroAge<\/strong> proposes using a digital-first architecture to investigate aging and regeneration through:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The concept is to move a large part of the initial investigative work from major biomedical infrastructure into computational Digital Labs and simulation before advancing toward higher-cost experimental phases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n RetroAge must operate under especially strict scientific standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Every hypothesis must ultimately undergo:<\/p>\n\n\n\n **bioethics<\/p>\n\n\n\n before any application involving humans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n SonarDrill introduces another strategic dimension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Before humanity can build a large-scale space civilization, it needs terrestrial energy systems capable of supporting an increasingly electrified economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Deep geothermal energy has a particularly important property:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Within SNNDL, SonarDrill can be structured as a research program covering:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The final objective should not simply be defined as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cdrill deeper.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n It should be defined as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The full conceptual power of this portfolio becomes clearer when the interdependencies are examined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n SonarDrill<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n can contribute abundant terrestrial energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2193<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ultralight Hybrid Orbital Access System<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n investigates lower-cost transportation of small payloads into orbit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2193<\/p>\n\n\n\n Orbital Photovoltaic Platforms<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n create energy and computational infrastructure in orbit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2193<\/p>\n\n\n\n M-777<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n attempts to transform isolated assets into an integrated energy and logistics network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2193<\/p>\n\n\n\n PAM Orbital Hive<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n investigates how infrastructure could be manufactured and expanded directly beyond Earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2193<\/p>\n\n\n\n RetroAge<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n investigates the biological dimension necessary to extend human operational capability and duration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n SpaceArch New NASA is therefore not asking only:<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is asking a much larger question:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The traditional innovation model may require:<\/p>\n\n\n\n **large installations<\/p>\n\n\n\n SNNDL proposes reversing the sequence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n First:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Intelligence.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Then:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Simulation.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Then:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Selection.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Then:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Prototype.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Finally:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Physical Infrastructure.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This allows financial resources to be concentrated on the hypotheses that survive the previous stages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n SNNDL is designed from its inception as an AI-Native system<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Researchers may use multiple specialized Artificial Intelligence systems for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Artificial Intelligence does not replace experimental validation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It accelerates it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The operational principle is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n provides:<\/p>\n\n\n\n provides:<\/p>\n\n\n\n provides:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The combination:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Human Intelligence forms the methodological core of SNNDL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To prevent frontier research from becoming unlimited speculation, each project should be classified according to its maturity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Preliminary idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Variables and mechanisms identified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Analysis against established scientific knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Equations, restrictions and parameters defined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Computational testing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dynamic representation of the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Partial physical validation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Minimum operational system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Reproducible operation under relevant conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mature and scalable technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This system makes it possible to work with extremely ambitious technologies while preserving epistemological rigor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Each complex problem can be divided into hundreds of smaller research problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Orbital Hive<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n can be decomposed into:<\/p>\n\n\n\n materials Each module can be assigned to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n **one Digital Lab<\/p>\n\n\n\n The results are then returned to the integrated system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In this way:<\/p>\n\n\n\n It becomes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Corporate cooperation requires clear rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n SNNDL can implement a modular IP framework:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Background IP<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Technology each participant owned before entering the program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Project IP<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Technology developed during a specific project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Joint IP<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Technology developed collaboratively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Platform IP<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Cross-program infrastructure owned by the SNNDL ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Contracts should define in advance:<\/p>\n\n\n\n This allows cooperation without forcing any company to surrender its pre-existing technological assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n SpaceArch New NASA invites:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Organizations may participate through different modalities:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Research Partner<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Scientific participation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Technology Partner<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Hardware, software or know-how contribution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Industrial Partner<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Prototyping and manufacturing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Infrastructure Partner<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Laboratories, computing resources and facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n AI Partner<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Models, agents and computational capacity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Investment Partner<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Funding of programs or spin-offs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n University Partner<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Research, education and validation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Experimental Partner<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Specialized testing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n An SNNDL result does not necessarily need to remain inside a single organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once a technology reaches sufficient maturity, it may evolve into:<\/p>\n\n\n\n a patent;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n a license;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n a joint venture;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n a spin-off;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n a startup;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n an industrial product;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n an international infrastructure project.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Thus:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Research<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n becomes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Innovation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n and then:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Industry.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The natural evolution of the system would be:<\/p>\n\n\n\n DIGITAL LAB<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ideas, calculation and simulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n PHYSICAL LAB<\/p>\n\n\n\n Experimentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n PROTOTYPE

generates knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The BigFab transforms that knowledge into infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n SpaceArch New NASA begins from one premise:<\/p>\n\n\n\n It will depend on simultaneously reducing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n mass while increasing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n automation The first space age was dominated by missions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The next may be dominated by infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Not only:<\/p>\n\n\n\n launching a satellite.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n But building:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The fundamental transition would be:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Space Missions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2193<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solar Economy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n SNNDL proposes becoming the research infrastructure supporting this transition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It does not claim that all of its hypotheses have already been solved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It proposes building an organization capable of determining:<\/p>\n\n\n\n This distinction is fundamental.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Scientific innovation does not consist of defending every idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It consists of generating many hypotheses and building a sufficiently rigorous system to discover which ones survive contact with reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n SpaceArch New NASA invites companies, universities, researchers, scientists, engineers, programmers, manufacturers, investors and technology organizations to participate in the deployment of the SpaceArch New NASA Digital Labs Network \u2014 SNNDL<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The first intermodular network begins its development through the corridor:<\/p>\n\n\n\n with the objective of progressively expanding the architecture into an international constellation of specialized Digital Labs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Participating organizations may join existing projects, contribute technologies, propose new challenges, finance specific
