UCLA Unveils SPLITTER, a Tethered Jumping Robot for Space Exploration
Researchers at UCLA’s RoMeLa lab have developed SPLITTER, a robotic system designed for planetary exploration through tethered jumping. The system consists of two quadrupedal robots connected by a tether, allowing efficient movement in low-gravity environments like the Moon and asteroids. Unlike traditional rovers, SPLITTER’s design enables sta...

NASA Investigates Ingenuity’s Last Flight, Explains Why it Crashed on its 72nd Flight
NASA’s Ingenuity Mars Helicopter, initially planned for five flights, completed 72 missions, ending its journey on January 18, 2024. Its final flight encountered navigation challenges over Jezero Crater's featureless terrain, leading to rotor blade damage. Despite being grounded, Ingenuity continues contributing data to Mars research. NASA is now...

Time Moves Faster on The Moon Than on Earth, Claims New Study
A 56-microsecond daily time drift between Earth and the Moon, caused by relativity, presents unique challenges for future lunar missions. Scientists are devising a standard lunar time system to ensure navigation accuracy and mission safety, particularly as NASA’s Artemis programme expands human and robotic activity on the Moon. This groundwork is...
