Abstract: Space truss is widely used in deep space exploration, high-resolution earth observation and other space missions. Nowadays, spacecraft and its attachments are developing into large-scale and light-weight. However, due to the constraints of space-earth carrying capacity and cost, the conventional on-site manufacturing technology cannot be satisfied by the space application requirements of large-scale, high-performance and complex structures. The on-orbit additive manufacturing (on-orbit 3D printing) technology could break the technical bottleneck of on-ground manufacturing technologies to solve the space fabrication problems, and realize the low-cost construction. On-orbit additive manufacturing is a new fabrication technology of implement in extreme environment such as micro/zero gravity, high alternating temperature and strong radiation. Due to the short development time and low technology maturity, many scientific problems and key technical problems still need to be verified and solved. The on-orbit additive manufacturing of large space truss is an extension of the ground additive manufacturing technology. Up to now, in the field of basic research, the fused deposition modeling (FDM) technology in zero-g environment have been carried out successfully and verified the feasibility of additive manufacturing technology in microgravity. In the field of additive manufacturing equipment, the prototype of FDM aboard the space station has been developed by China, USA and Europe. However, the device applied for the ono-rbit additive manufacturing of large space truss outboard the space station is still on the concept situation. In the field of forming process research, there are few studies on the performances of on-orbit fused deposition modeling due to the restriction of equipment development. In the field of additive manufacturing in simulated microgravity environment, the anisotropy of mechanical properties of large-size, long-axial-diameter ratio polymers and their composites by melt deposition has been improved by material modification and heat control of interlayer bonding. This paper summarizes the research status and prospect of on-orbit additive manufacturing technology for large space truss. For the on-orbit FDM technology, it views the research status of the bottleneck technique such as microgravity effects, on-orbit equipment and forming process.The challenges and development trend of large space truss fabricated by on-orbit additive manufacturing are discussed. It could provide theoretical basics and technical references for the large structure of on-orbit fabrication research.
