Springs and Couplings Keep Mars Science Laboratory Rover on Track
NASA’s Mars Science Laboratory Rover “Curiosity” is the
biggest rover to roam the Red Planet, measuring almost the
size of a standard car. The rover is expected to land on Mars
this summer, joining Opportunity, which has been exploring
the planet since 2004. Working with engineers at NASA’s Jet

Reverse Engineering Software Reduces Design Time of NASA UAV Engine Cowling
Engineers at NASA’s Ames Research Center in Moffett Field,
CA, needed to redesign the engine cowling of their Systems
Integration Evaluation Remote Research Aircraft (SIERRA) to
reduce drag and improve fuel economy. The SIERRA is an
unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) routinely deployed for environmental
collection missions over remote regions. ...

Optimized Machine Capability Through Mechatronics: Packaging for the Future
Mechatronics can be defined as the
science to optimize the performance
and capabilities of machines using
a multi-domain synergistic design approach. It is also described as the combination
of mechanical, electronic, computer,
software, control, and systems de -
sign engineering. Simply put, this concept
enables machine builders to produce
machines ...
