The engineers at JPL have been experimenting with a new rotor design that can spin at nearly the speed of sound, which is tested in a simulator space that can recreate Mars-like conditions of ...

The rotors were tested inside JPL’s 25-Foot Space Simulator, a vacuum chamber used by NASA engineers to expose spacecraft systems to conditions similar to those they will face during a mission.

Boeing's Starliner capsule is to return to Earth after a stay at the Space Station as part of a test mission before it flies astronauts. The parachutes are among the systems engineers are monitoring.

This image, which shows the shadow of a damaged rotor on NASA's Mars helicopter Ingenuity, was taken after its 72nd and final flight on Jan. 18, 2024 on the Red Planet.

This ingenuity found in Utah means these designs will be up in space in the next few years. "I am proud of the fact that Utah is on the forefront of some of these things,” Magleby shared.

BYU’s Compliant Mechanisms Research lab, inspired by the ancient art of origami, is building a foldable, compact design that could help launch satellite systems to space in a rocket. After five years ...
