Caltech robot makes history by building a structure in space
For the first time, a robot has autonomously built part of a structure in space, demonstrating a breakthrough that could fundamentally change space exploration. The technology could one day allow scientists to construct enormous telescopes, communications antennas, and solar power stations in orbit, far beyond the size limits of today's rockets.
