iss060e020172 (July 29, 2019) --- With advances in propulsion, swarms of small spacecraft are expected to become feasible in the near future. Expedition 60 Flight Engineer Christina Koch of NASA can be seen here floating with the SPHERES robots which are putting some of these technologies to the test. The crew was preparing to run code from participants of the SPHERES Zero Robotics (ZR) 2019 Middle School Summer Program. The SPHERES team tests algorithms developed by students and selects the best designs for the competition to operate the robots on board the space station.
