2022-01-01 21:34:31 "Smart" glove for astronauts

A "smart glove" allows you to control machinery using gestures. SETI and NASA adapted the technology to operate at low temperatures and in airless or low-pressure environments. The stiffness of human movement in a spacesuit was also taken into account.

The glove is equipped with sensors that capture even subtle hand movements, and a microcontroller to read the sensor outputs.

If the technology is approved, drones will not only be able to fly around the Moon, but will also help astronauts on Mars.

2022-01-01 13:24:17 SpinLaunch - into space with kinetic energy

The startup SpinLaunch is actively working on a project to launch rockets without the use of fossil fuel engines.

The company's specialists propose to use kinetic energy by accelerating rockets to supersonic speeds.

Thus, the L100 installation developed by them will give the rocket a launch speed of 8047 kilometers per hour, which will make it possible to take satellites weighing up to 200 kilograms to a suborbital altitude.

2021-12-31 19:24:00 Robot Beetle

To create their drone, researchers from the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne took the natural wing structure of the May beetle as the basis.

The bot was given similar elytra, which hides two-section wings that can unfold in a fraction of a second.

Tests in the wind tunnel showed that this design has good lift and an increased stall angle (up to 20 degrees).

AI SpaceFactory company, which won a grant of 500 thousand dollars from NASA, continues to improve its project Marsha, designed to create a comfortable human habitat on other planets, particularly on Mars.

According to the developers' idea, the houses of unusual design will be built using 3D-printing robotic complexes without human participation, using only local material.

The design of the houses is designed to ensure the safety of the inhabitants and the maximum amount of space, taking into account its life support.

2021-12-28 20:00:05 Micro vortices - microbot propulsors

Scientists at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, using a starfish larva as a prototype, have created a microbot capable of moving in a liquid, creating vortices.

Like its living counterpart, the surface of the robot is covered with small cilia that vibrate via ultrasound to create the desired fluid movements, pushing it in the right direction.

In this way, the bot can maneuver and move with sufficient accuracy.
