The Personal Satellite Assistant–Jedi Remote & Astronaut Sidekick…
April 3, 2007 · Print This Article
For years, NASA has been working on this robotic servant for years and although it is not operational yet, it should be in the near future. It has everything an astronaut could ever want while working in space: cameras, sensors, speakers and microphones. It even has a fan to push on the air so that it can move around or in the weightless environment of the Space Station, which gives it the effect of hovering.
One of its possible uses could be to identify problems and provide astronauts with verbal instructions relayed from ground controllers. Its kind of like having a cell phone that floats right next to you.
However, before it qualifies as a full on Star Wars remote that Luke used in A New Hope, it would need some sort of energy beam weapon. I don’t think this upgrade will be looked favorably upon by NASA for the Space Station…unless you could sell it as a ummm soldering tool of some kind.
