Article 1: How are Rockets Made?
Hundreds of companies across every state have been a part of SLS and the Orion crew spacecraft, many of them small businesses providing specialized components or services.  Next, they move the parts from Alabama to the Florida barge.  Propellant is already being cast into booster segments for the first flight of SLS.  Engines are moved from Mississippi to Lousiana.  Next they’ll be stacked vertically and prepared for launch.  Then they launch it.

Analogs are places where the environment is similar to locations like Mars or the moon, where a robot may be used. One NASA analog is in the Arizona desert. NASA robotics experts conduct field tests in the desert to assess new ideas for rovers, spacewalks and ground support. Some of these tests are conducted by a team called Desert RATS, which stands for Desert Research And Technology Studies.]]> 2019-03-28 18:22:59 UTC https://padlet.com/23is06591/8r0i6ub2be5o/wish/346289459 Picture #1 23rd09911 https://padlet.com/23is06591/8r0i6ub2be5o/wish/346290132 This electric robot relies on cameras, sensors, lots of motors, and two computers. These tools help R5 to navigate its surroundings and move like a human.
Whether walking, tumbling, flying or rolling, robots have a major role to play in space exploration!
Name: The humanoid robot, called R5, or Valkyrie.]]> 2019-03-28 18:24:13 UTC https://padlet.com/23is06591/8r0i6ub2be5o/wish/346290132 Overall Summary 23is06591 https://padlet.com/23is06591/8r0i6ub2be5o/wish/346290857 NASA uses a lot of robots to help us explore space!  Some examples are listed here.  Some benefits of robots include flexibility with being capable of performing a variety of tasks and applications.   Robots have the ability to work around the clock since they do not require vacations, sick days, or breaks.  They also make fewer mistakes than humans, saving companies time. In the medical field robots are used for intricate surgeries such as prostate cancer surgery. Some challenges are that robots could replace jobs which would make some people unemployed.  Our opinion is that robots help the world advance in many ways.]]> 2019-03-28 18:25:49 UTC https://padlet.com/23is06591/8r0i6ub2be5o/wish/346290857 Picture #2 23rd09911 https://padlet.com/23is06591/8r0i6ub2be5o/wish/346292612 This spiky cube of a robot is being developed by NASA with Stanford University and MIT. Hedgehog is designed to explore small bodies, such as asteroids or comets. These have very little gravity and extremely rough terrain. Instead of rolling, Hedgehog hops and tumbles.

What if it lands upside-down? No big deal. It can operate on any of its sides. It could even get itself out of a deep crater using a tornado-like maneuver that launches the robot into the air.

This robot can float in the water and roll its wheels along the underside of an icy surface, all while taking pictures and collecting data.

Scientists hope to someday use a robot like this to search for signs of life on icy bodies elsewhere in the solar system. For example, the underground oceans of Jupiter’s moon Europa or Saturn’s moon Enceladus.
