NASA PROGRAM UPDATE NASA and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) are asking for proposals to enhance small satellite experiments on the International Space Station. The goal is to better utilize the station as a test bed for advanced space technologies. The effort is centered on Synchronized Position, Hold, Engage and Reorient Experimental Satellites (SPHERES). SPHERES are bowling-ball sized spherical satellites used inside the station to test maneuvers for […]https://parabolicarc.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/iss.jpg
