meet super ball, a tensgrity robot in development in nasa ames.ghtweight sphere—like matrix can be packed down flat, taking up minimal space in a rocket and vastly reducing launch costs. because of the unique structure of this robot and the fact that it can deform and reform itself and take massive impacts, eventually nasa will be able to literally throw it at the surface of a planet and its scientific payload in the middle will be protected. it's bouncy. 0nce deployed, super ball can handle much rougher terrains then a rover, rolling over obstacles and up and down hills. tendon wires connecting the struts spool in and out creating momentum, in much the same way as flexing your muscles moves your limbs. if it bumps into anything solid, it willjust bounce back. it should even be able to survive falling off a cliff. the next step for super ball is to redesign the robot such that it can actually survive at least a one—storey drop. you can expect to see a system like this on an actual nasa mission probably in 15 or 20 years‘ time. 0ver atjpl, they are

|j am excited to announce that the nasa tea m am excited to announce that the nasa team have used our space telescope to determine there are seven is sized planets orbiting the nearby trappist star about a0 light—years away. what's more, as you can say in this illustration, three of these planets, marked in green, are in the habitable area where liquid water can cool on the surface. with the right atmosphere conditions, there could be water on any of these planets. for the first time, we found as many terrestrial planets around a single star and that is the first time we have been able to measure in addition to both the masses and radii of these habitable, is sized planets. these planets are among the best of all the planets we note follow—up, to see for example even telescope we launched last year, the atmosphere and also signatures if there are any. this discovery gives us a hint that finding a second earth is notjust a matter of if, but when. scientists believe that around every star, they could be one planet, take three, ta ke could be one planet, take three, take five, take seven
