nasas technology At latest..

Recent Developments

Solid ROCKET boosters

Most powerful reusable rocket boosters ever built .Solid propellant.Long cylindrical motor for directional burning of propellant.Thrust force of 53*10^5 lbs.Propellant: Like hard rubber typewriter eraser.Contents: Namely oxidizer and aluminum with ammonium perchlorate.

Nasas Orion spacecraft

For deep space explorations controlled by humans.

Nasas space warp drive-Alcubierre drive

We cannot travel faster than speed of light but space can. (Evidence: Observable Universe)

Bubble formation: 10 times faster than speed of light by warping space.

Lag: Energy needs.

Design: Donut shaped. Middle part: Crew and Robotic arm. Ring : Exotic matter.

Not Just a Fiction

Super ball bot

Tensegrity- Tension + Structural Integrity

Next generation bots.Full capability to replace rovers and on their way to Titan .

Advantages:

1.Througout dispensation of force.

2.Maximum strength to weight ratio.

3.Pure compression and tension.

4.No lever arms.

Insight:

Forces felt in strings mostly and at the point of concurrence.

86% reduction in landing forces with TensegrityPosition vs Time test

Acceleration vs Time test

Replacing rovers

Bio tensegrity.

Cellular Tensegrity

Skeletal Tensegrity

Body TensegrityForce dispenses throughout the body and not just felt at the joints.

The titan mission..Large amount of hydrocarbons (eg. Methane)Seasonal variations and interactions of the atmosphere and surface.Prebiological and protobiological chemistry.Atmospheric dynamics and meteorology.

The super ball bot

Payload in the form of ball.Containing actuators, mass spectrometer, meteorology package, imaging package etc.

Super compactness.

Economically feasible.

Simulation video

How to make such a modelUse concept of Golden rectangle to calculate: Just like Icosahedron Payload size per rod size.Length of strings.
