This is a concept for a system that can perform most aspects of recycling/manufacturing in zero-g & low-g space environments. The system consists primarily of a rotating arm that provides artificial gravity, power, data, and mechanical connections to different modules designed for individual aspects of recycling/manufacturing. The modules are designed to contain the materials being processed, thereby preventing the system from generating external debris during recycling/manufacturing. This system is designed to complement the abilities of the Orbital Workshop (see NTR 1662994822).
