Scientists have recently uncovered portal-like structures in space that could revolutionize our understanding of the universe. These findings, rooted in advanced astronomical observations and ...

Launching large, rigid satellite dishes into orbit is an expensive and energy-hungry task. But what if those massive structures could start out flat—and then unfold or “grow” into their curved shapes ...

Deployable structures and mechanisms have become a cornerstone of modern space engineering, enabling the realisation of large apertures, antennas, and other functional systems from compact launch ...

Continuous fiber 3D printer additively deposited fiber bundles generate the desired shape: (a) cone, (b) saddle, (c) parabolic dish. Source (All Images) | The Grainger College, University of Illinois ...

Starshade-based methods, both for in-space observatories like the Habitable Worlds Observer or ground-based observatories, have the potential to increase our observational capability without launching ...
