Using two research vessels, the Export Processes in the Ocean from Remote Sensing (EXPORTS) oceanographic campaign will study the fates and carbon cycle impacts of microscopic underwater organisms.The large multidisciplinary team, including members from more than 20 different research institutions, is accompanied by advanced underwater robotics and other instruments on a month-long campaign to study the secret lives of tiny organisms called phytoplankton, and the animals that eat them. These organisms can have a large impact on Earth's carbon cycle, storing carbon dioxide in a part of the ocean known as the twilight zone, between 650 and 3300 feet below the surface. || ", "hits": 24 }, { "id": 13020, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/13020/", "result_type": "Produced Video", "release_date": "2018-07-31T06:00:00-04:00", "title": "Sounds of NASA’s Robotic Operations Center", "description": "An illustration of a robot inspired by imagery taken in NASA's Robotic Operations Center. || ROBOT.gif (1280x720) [910.4 KB] || ROBOT_print.jpg (1024x576) [81.0 KB] || ROBOT_searchweb.png (320x180) [46.5 KB] || ROBOT_thm.png (80x40) [4.2 KB] || ", "hits": 31 }, { "id": 12993, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/12993/", "result_type": "Produced Video", "release_date": "2018-07-11T00:00:00-04:00", "title": "Testing Robotic Satellite Servicing Capabilities", "description": "This six-legged, 10 by 16-foot robot mimics how satellites move in space. NASA uses the hexapod robot to conduct precise tests of robotic satellite servicing operations.Sitting on top of the robot is a partial mockup of a satellite. Mounted to a panel close by, representing the payload deck of a robotic servicing spacecraft, is an advanced robotic arm. Together, these robots practice a calculated dance. As the hexapod moves, the robotic arm reaches out to grasp the mock satellite. This complex maneuver has never been attempted in space with a satellite that wasn’t designed to be approached. Lab demonstrations and testing will help NASA engineers perfect technologies for an autonomous (no humans involved) rendezvous in orbit.NASA is working to prove the combination of technologies necessary to robotically refuel a satellite in orbit that was not designed to be serviced. The same technologies developed for the Restore-L project will advance in-orbit repair, upgrade and assembly capabilities.The ground demonstrations take place in the Robotic Operations Center at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland.

Since 2002, NASA has been experimenting with tiny magnetic particles suspended in liquid aboard the International Space Station. The particles exhibit no special properties when moving through the liquid at random. But under the influence of a magnet, the particles are pulled into order, forming aggregate structures that force the liquid itself to become rigid. The process is similar to how chilling water coerces individual molecules to bond and produce ice crystals. The research has multiple applications for future technologies being developed here on Earth, including the design of new robotics systems used in aircraft and automobiles.

Adding to the complexity, the test was operated remotely from Goddard while performed at Kennedy’s Payload Hazardous Servicing Facility.

A joint effort between NASA and the Canadian Space Agency (CSA), this mission will use the station's robotic arm known as Dextre to conduct these experiments. Normally employed for maintenance of the orbiting superstructure, Dextre becomes experimental hardware in RRM, pushing the limits of robotic teleoperation.
