A well-known and popular children’s toy transformer having a great variety of options, has prompted scientists from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory on an original idea: the creation of autonomous robots that can self-assemble into the desired structure. With these robots, Transformers space agency NASA plans to begin exploration of the Moon and other planets.
This project is included in the list of seven nominees for the annual competition development NIAC. As you know, this competition helps engineers agencies to implement the most unusual and interesting ideas concerning the development of near and far space.
In the human mind, of course, after these lines there is an image humanoid robot-transformer, however, According to available information, the transformers in shape will not be anything special, but in fact it will be “intelligent” mirror of enormous size. The objective of the mirror-transformer will be in building solar “bunnies”, captured on the illuminated side of the moon, on her back, a dark area.
The name “transformer” mirror was due to the fact that the moon will fall into it folded and unfold only after landing on the surface of Earth’s satellite, the principle of origami.
NASA believes that this project will take at least 10 years, no matter how anxious to look at constantly dark part of our natural satellite. Perhaps there is a person waiting for a very interesting discovery. It may happen that a person is looking for answers to their questions for millions and billions of kilometers from Earth, and they will be humanity “under the nose».
