Our Automated Fiber Placement machine is winding the way to efficiency for our rockets and spacecraft! We were able to produce not just one, but three Elytra spacecraft structures at once. These structures were precision cut on our robotic power mill into their final shape. This approach allows us to reduce manufacturing time and improve efficiencies as we scale up our Elytra production line.
Got something weighing you down? Shake it off (like Curiosity)!
The Martian explorer unintentionally picked up a rock while drilling a recent sample, but the team was able to dislodge it by having the rover move its robotic arm and vibrate the drill until the rock fell off.
