An upcoming experiment to the International Space Station is likely to capture the attention of many when it sets off on Tuesday (Jan. 30). Northrop Grumman’s Cygnus spacecraft will be delivering a series of innovative experiments to the ISS. This robotic experiment will put forward a two-pound (0.9-kilogram) robotic device, capable of conducting medical surgeries with high precision.
This innovative robot by Virtual Incision is designed to interact with human doctors on Earth while performing medical procedures on astronauts in space. The device will undergo its initial testing while performing procedures on rubber bands, with promising future applications in upcoming missions to the moon and Mars. As the gallant pioneers plot their course for deeper space travel, a special emphasis is placed on advancing space-based medical technologies to ensure the safety of spacefarers.
The future certainly looks riveting, as astronauts can now anticipate the day they embark to the Red Planet. The International Space Station is also embracing groundbreaking technologies such as “holoportation” through HoloLens technology, bringing virtual reality and augmented reality together.
