JSC2005-00152 (12 Aug. 2005) --- Robotics engineers Lyndon Bridgwater, Phil Strawser, Nic Radford, and Kris Verdeyen, from left, prepare Spidernaut, a spider-like robot prototype under development at NASA's Johnson Space Center, for a demonstration. A similar arachnid-robot may one day carry large payloads across lightweight trusses and solar arrays or deploy a "web" of space tethers to cross structural spans of future space vehicles.
