They can work overtime. >Henry Choy >choy@cs.usask.ca This is how space station Freedom will be built. Extensive use will be made of robotics, including the Shuttle Remtore Manipulatoir System (robot arm) and the Mobile Transporter (I am on the MT design team at Astro Aerospace Corp, in Carpinteria, CA). After about MB-6 the space station will have uits own arm to complete the assembly. The truss section will be automatically fastened together using remotely operated electrical self-spinning motirzed bolts. Crew EVA time will be kept to a minimum and confined to essential tasks.
