BYU engineers have teamed up with a world-renowned origami expert to solve one of space exploration's greatest (and most ironic) problems: lack of space. Working with NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, ...

Most people who know of origami think of it as the Japanese art of paper folding. Though it began centuries ago, origami became better known to the world in the 20th century when it evolved into a ...

A Japanese folding has proven itself in space: an origami antenna, compact at launch, deployed to reach 25 times its original size. This satellite was part of the eight launched by Rocket Lab from New ...

An ongoing problem for NASA, SpaceX, and other entities involved with space travel is packing as much equipment as possible into a single rocket to reduce launch costs and make space exploration more ...

The future of space flight may be founded on the traditions of art. Using the techniques of origami, NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory is examining how to use the craft of paper-folding to compact ...

To get started, all you need is a standard A4 sheet of paper and the folding skills of a 4-year-old. Reading time 3 minutes Building a spacecraft could one day be as simple as folding a piece of paper ...

Aerospace engineering professor Manan Arya refers to it as the “suitcase problem,” a challenge not of clothing but of fitting vast, deployable structures into the confined volume of a rocket fairing.

From shipping and construction to outer space, origami could put a folded twist on structural engineering. Researchers have developed a new 'zippered tube' configuration that makes paper structures ...

WSU researchers have used the ancient Japanese art of paper folding to possibly solve a key challenge for outer space travel – how to store and move fuel to rocket engines. The researchers have ...

Robert Salazar has been playing with origami, the Japanese art of paper folding, since he was 8 years old. When he sees a sheet of paper, his imagination takes over and intricate animals take shape.
