I've just come back from the NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts annual Symposium held on the Stanford University campus where NIAC Fellows gave talks on their projects. The very best of the lot was Rob Hoyt's description of Tethers Unlimited SpiderBot and Tesselator, two robots that can build platforms in space. Rob concluded his talk with this page from BBC's Science and Technology Focus magazine, January 2014 issue 263. The SpiderBot is shown spinning the truss work for The MOST. Look under the telescope tab on this web site for more information about my telescopes, HOMES and The MOST. I'm now working on ADDEDPT and will add it to the website in due course.
