Caltech-DARPA Robot Autonomously Assembles Antenna Truss in Orbit

Report publication · YYSI publication

According to IT Home, A Caltech-built robot funded by DARPA's NOM4D program assembled a third truss section of a 1.4-meter reflector antenna in orbit, which researchers call the first autonomous structural build in space. Ground teams still handled planning and commands through brief daily communication windows. DARPA says the demo is a step toward building structures kilometers in size.
