Modular Assembly
Modular Assembly defines the testing and integration of hardware modules inside Station A01. Components are assembled, evaluated and controlled as part of Ambient Engineering before being integrated into complete Martian Micro devices.
Definition
Modular Assembly represents a pre-device development phase.
Hardware modules are tested before becoming complete systems.
The focus is validation, not final assembly.
Baseplate Environment
Modules are assembled and tested on a dedicated baseplate system.
The baseplate provides a stable and reusable testing environment.
Configurations can be changed without rebuilding entire devices.
Hardware Modules
Systems are composed of reusable electronic modules.
Sensors, controllers and interface boards act as building blocks.
Modules can be rearranged and recombined.
Real-Time Testing
Hardware behavior is tested alongside software development.
Control logic and features are implemented and validated immediately.
Iteration occurs continuously rather than in discrete steps.
Mission Control Coupling
Physical testing is visible inside the station through live camera feeds.
The baseplate environment is transmitted via a table camera into the station.
Hardware state is integrated into the system through FeatureCloud as part of Mission Control Interface.
Transition to Devices
Validated modules are later integrated into complete devices.
This step connects Modular Assembly to full system construction.
All components persist within the station as defined by Continuous World Operation.
