Space Station Live: Synthetic Muscle

Space Station Live: Synthetic Muscle

January 6, 2016



NASA Commentator Pat Ryan talks with Dr. Lenore Rasmussen, the founder and chief technology officer of Ras Labs in Quincy, Massachusetts and principal investigator of the Synthetic Muscle experiment that’s currently being radiation-tested on the International Space Station. The synthetic muscle material lends itself to life-like motion and could improve the ability of robots to perform work in space as well as improve the performance of prosthetics on Earth.
