Repairing Satellites in Orbit & The JWST arrives at Destination
The University of New Mexico School of Engineering has launched a new project with the goal of repairing, painting and upgrading satellites in orbit, and it's based on artificial intelligence, hard and soft robotics, additive manufacturing, astrodynamics, estimation theory, control and space systems.
“For the last three years, UNM’s AgMan has been working with AFRL enabling robotics, artificial intelligence, and additive manufacturing technology to make satellite assembly more efficient and cost effective,” said Rafael Fierro, happy to join the first SURI program.
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, which we talked about a few weeks ago, has finally arrived at its destination 1.5 million kilometres from Earth.
The Space Industry is thriving, as more and more companies and governments invest to optimize, research and develop new technologies. The JWST has been prevalent on the news for months now, and it finally reached its destination safely.
NASA still has months ahead to work on the telescope and its instruments, but it could fundamentally change the way we study and gather information about the universe and its mysteries.
