PROJECT RAMA: RECONSTITUTING ASTEROIDS INTO MECHANICAL AUTOMATATHE MAIN FOCUS OF THE STUDY IS TO DETERMINE THE FEASIBILITY OF THE RAMA ARCHITECTURE AND COMPAREPROPERTIES AND PERFORMANCE WITH THOSE OF CURRENT CAPABILITIES. THE WORK PLAN CONSISTS OF FOUR TASKS AS SHOWN IN THE TABLE BELOW THAT TOGETHER ADDRESS THREE KEY CHALLENGE AREAS (1. HOW A MECHANICALSPACECRAFT COULD BE BUILT INSITU 2. VALIDATING THE MISSION CONCEPT 3. DEMONSTRATING A RETURN ONINVESTMENT) AND PROVIDE A VIABLE PATH MOVING FORWARD IN TERMS OF NECESSARY TECHNOLOGYDEVELOPMENT.
