NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration is currently testing an innovative system that integrates autonomous robots, modular structural building blocks, and smart algorithms to enable large-scale construction for future deep space exploration missions. The goal is to create robust, self-building structures, such as space habitats or communication towers, which could be crucial for long-term missions on the Moon, Mars, and beyond. In a recent demonstration at NASA's Roverscape, the robots worked together autonomously to transport materials via a mock rail system, simulating the assembly of a tower. These tests are part of NASA's efforts to explore automated construction techniques that can be utilized in environments where human involvement is limited or impossible. This system, leveraging AI and robotics, could become a key tool in self-sustaining missions to build infrastructure on distant celestial bodies.

OL-78 of 2024 🇺🇸🇳🇿Rocket Lab 📢 🚀 #Electron Beginning Of The Swarm 🗓️ 24 Apr 2024 🕰️ 03:30 IST / 22:00 UTC (23 Apr) 📍 LC-1B, Mahia Peninsula in #NewZealand 🛰️ ACS3 from #NASA & NeonSat-1 from #KAIST NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration's ACS3, a technology demonstration of new materials and deployable structures for solar sail propulsion systems that use sunlight to propel the spacecraft. Much like a sailboat is powered by wind pushing against a sail, solar sails employ the pressure of sunlight for propulsion, eliminating the need for conventional rocket propellant. The mission plans to test the deployment of new composite booms that will unfurl the solar sail to measure approximately 30 feet per side, or about the size of a small apartment in total. Deployer made by Exolaunch 2.NEONSAT-1, is an Earth observation satellite with a high-resolution optical camera designed to monitor natural disasters along the Korean Peninsula by pairing its images with artificial intelligence. NEONSAT-1 is the first satellite developed under the NEONSAT program by Satrec Initiative Co., Ltd. and Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, Korea’s leading university in science and technology. #Rocketlab #NASA InfoGraphic by ZetaGravit

MIT researchers have prepared SuperLimbs, a pair of robotic limbs that extend from a spacesuit to help an astronaut get back on his or her feet with minimal effort. In the future, the MIT team plans to integrate full-fledged "Supertips" into spacesuit backpacks to provide astronauts with reliable support in the event of a fall. This decision was part of a NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration grant to develop new space technologies that could improve the efficiency and safety of future lunar expeditions. hashtag #archtown #robotics #nasa #moon #mit

🐝🚀Astrobee: NASA’s Robotic Assistant Helping Astronauts in Space 🌌 Let’s talk about #Astrobee, a game-changing robotic system NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration designed to assist astronauts on the #ISS. These autonomous, free-flying robots handle everything from tracking inventory to capturing videos of experiments, reducing the time astronauts spend on repetitive tasks. Sunita Williams an experienced astronaut, has worked closely with Astrobee and shared how these robots make life in orbit more efficient. They allow astronauts to focus on critical science and operations while Astrobee manages the routine. This blend of human ingenuity and robotic innovation shows how far space exploration has come. Seeing Astrobee in action makes you realize: the future of space is already here. * https://lnkd.in/eqGSnaUW #NASA #Astrobee #SpaceExploration #SunitaWilliams #SpaceInnovation

<< Lunar Outpost, a startup currently working on four small robotic rovers, is leading a team called Lunar Dawn that includes Lockheed Martin, MDA Space, General Motors and Goodyear. While Lockheed and MDA Space will provide expertise in spacecraft design and robotics, GM will offer battery and related automotive technologies and Goodyear will provide tires. A company that develops an LTV rover for NASA will also be able to offer it to non-NASA customers. “We believe in the early phase that NASA will have to be somewhat of an anchor tenant,” Kearney said. “We hope that, over the 10-year operating life of this vehicle, we can start bringing in more and more commercial requests as the market evolves.” She said NASA expects initially to use 75% of the rover’s capacity for crewed or robotic operations, with the remaining 25% available for commercial uses. Over the course of the contract, NASA anticipates its share of rover time will decline as commercial demand grows. >> https://lnkd.in/d2qWUEdX #artemis #nasaLTV #spaceexploration #nasa #lockheedmartinspace #spaceeconomy #lunareconomy #orion #lunardawnLTV

How to construct very big installations in extreme hostile environments? Use #LegoTechnic... Repeated use of standardised geodetic building blocks that are assembled by robotic systems.
NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration is developing a hardware and software system that uses different types of robots that can autonomously assemble, repair, and reconfigure structural materials for a variety of large-scale hardware systems in space. Future long-duration and deep-space exploration missions to the Moon, Mars, and beyond will require a way to build large-scale infrastructure, such as solar power stations, communications towers, and habitats for crew. To sustain a long-term presence in deep space, NASA needs the capability to construct and maintain these systems in place, rather than sending large pre-assembled hardware from Earth. NASA’s Automated Reconfigurable Mission Adaptive Digital Assembly Systems (ARMADAS) team is developing a hardware and software system to meet that need. The system uses different types of inchworm-like robots that can assemble, repair, and reconfigure structural materials for a variety of large-scale hardware systems in space. The robots can do their jobs in orbit, on the lunar surface, or on other planets – even before humans arrive.

I looks slow, but imagine this operating on Mars, autonomously. Carting all that equipment to a different planet, then recovering it after crashing… I mean landing… impressive! 👍🏻
