Next-Gen EVA: Tooling for Space Exploration

Beyond the Belt: Integrating Cutting-Edge Tech into EVA Tools for the Future of Space Exploration Spacewalks, or Extravehicular Activities (EVAs), are a vital part of space exploration. From repairing satellites to constructing the International Space Station, astronauts rely on specialized tools to perform these delicate and demanding tasks in the harsh environment of space. However, these tools haven't seen significant innovation in recent decades. That's all changing. The future of EVAs is being revolutionized by a wave of cutting-edge technologies, pushing the boundaries of what astronauts can achieve beyond Earth's atmosphere. Smart Tools for Smarter Missions: Imagine tools that adapt to their environment, anticipate astronaut needs, and even offer real-time guidance. This is the vision behind integrating artificial intelligence (AI)...
