Grumman Aerospace proposed an aluminum beam builder to automatically construct large space structures and received NASA funding for initial work including a ground test unit.
Grumman studied modifying its aluminum beam builder tooling in mid-1977 to form composite beams and initially attempted to roll form a graphite/polyethersulfone laminate using existing tooling.
A Grumman engineer assessed that composite materials offered superior performance to aluminum and could last up to 40 years in orbit, subject to further testing and flight qualification.
In mid-1977 Grumman engineers attempted to roll form a graphite/polyethersulfone laminate using aluminum beam tooling and experienced destructive results.
The flight version of the Grumman Beam Builder was intended to be considerably lighter and to use flight-qualified, higher-reliability parts instead of off-the-shelf components.
The Grumman Beam Builder ground demonstration unit measured 4.26 by 3.35 by 2.74 meters (14 by 11 by 9 feet) and weighed 9,979 kilograms (22,000 pounds).
