(2023:秦安市二模)The future of space exploration may depend on an art form from the
past:origami(折纸艺术),the ancient art of paper folding,
Researchers from Washington State University (WSU),US,have used origami to possibly
solve the problem of storing and moving fuel to rocket engines,a key challenge in space travel,
according to Newswise.They've developed a foldable plastic fuel“bladder(囊状物)”
resistant to super cold temperatures,which could be used to store and pump fuel in
spacecrafts of the future.Their findings have recently been published in the journal
Cryogenics.
"Folks have been trying to make bags for rocket fuel for a long time,said Jake
Leachman,one of the lead researchers."We currently don't do large,long-duration trips
because we can't store fuel long enough in space."
Meanwhile,NASA is also looking to paper folding to help observe distant planets.The
agency is currently developing Starshade,a foldable,sunflower-shaped piece of hardware that
would help block starlight and enable telescopes to view distant objects more clearly in space.
"A huge part of my job is looking at something on paper and asking,'Can we fly
this?’”Manan Arya,.a technologist in California,said.“Once I realized this is how you fold
spacecraft structures,I became interested in origami.I realized I was good at it and enjoyed
it.Now,I fold constantly."
Using origami for space purposes isn'tnew,however.Solar arrays(太阳能阵s列),
experimental wings for space shuttle programs and an inflatable(可充气的satellite were also
inspired by origami in both past and present space projects.
"With most origami,the magic comes from the folding,Robert Salazar,who helped
design the Starshade and now works on the Transformers project,said in a statement."There
are so many patterns to still be explored."
