SENTINEL-SPACE

Sentinel Space is a mission to create intelligent orbital and deep space infrastructure that will enable services like data collection, construction, resupply, etc. necessary for the facilitation of space exploration... Any space exploration can be characterized by an initial, exploratory wave and later, utility oriented waves. Space infrastructure can serve as a stepping stone for exploration, enabling in-space resupply and allowing for incremental exploration, like setting up a base camp when climbing a mountain for the first time. Infrastructure can also serve in later waves, allowing for supply routes and way stations that would make repeated trips to a destination easier. Infrastructure should not consist of monolithic structures. Rather, it would be more efficient if infrastructure consisted of autonomous, distributed systems which could cooperate to achieve multiple goals. This provides fault tolerance and fluidity that a monolithic paradigm does not provide. So, the main..
