Carnegie Mellon University faculty and students recently experienced something few ever have: weightlessness. Aboard a plane that follows an unusual flight path – steep climbs followed by dramatic dives – members of the Robotics Exploration Lab in CMU's Robotics Institute (RI) put their research through critical tests.
These flights supported the work of Mitch Fogelson, recently graduated Mechanical Engineering Ph.D., and Zac Manchester, associate professor at the RI. In collaboration with researchers from Northeastern University and the University of Washington, Fogelson and Manchester have been working to create massive foldable structures small enough to fit on a rocket, yet capable of expanding up to a kilometer long once released into orbit, with the goal of supporting astronauts in microgravity environments and long-term mission planners.
