Origami-inspired engineering for next-gen space structures.

Origami inspired tech for foldable tech sound like cheese inspired tech for the wheel :D (who gets the joke gets it I'm not debating something this dumb take care)

Origami-inspired engineering is transforming space technology, enabling compact structures to unfold into large, lightweight systems once in orbit. 🚀📐 By borrowing ideas from paper folding, engineers are creating smarter solar arrays, antennas, and habitats for the next generation of space exploration.

Always has been.

Who knew folding paper could lead to next-gen space structures

Can someone please make a Kerbal Space Program mod of these structures? Thank you very much indeed in advance.

😂🤣 and other cartoon shit the goyim believe in!

The self-unfolding space parabolic antenna (Reflector), created under the supervision of academician Elguji Medzmariashvili, has a diameter of 6.4 meters.

On July 23, 1999, the first Georgian 🇬🇪 object was launched into space, designed by Academician Elguja Medzmariashvili. The satellite is the largest (D=6.4m.) space object in Europe. The refractor antenna was manufactured at the Tbilisi Aviation Factory.

Wait a minute, i saw this on Alien back in 1979...

Never realised origami is very important skill for engineering till seeing this post

Советская складная пароварка для приготовления мантов например

Waste of tax payer funds

So we're really sending folded paper to space now? 😭🚀

Katlanabilir teleskop aynaları gerçekten oluyor olması ilginç, ama fırlatma sonrası kendi kendine açılıp tam hizalanması en kritik kısım. O toleransı yakalamak zor olmalı.

Now I understand where origami is used.

This origami space engineering is straight up mind-blowing

I have a steamer basket that does that.

Origami, marsupilami, salami - COOL SPACE STUFF!!!!

هندسة الأوريغامي اليابانية ليست مجرد طي ورق، بل هي سر هياكل الفضاء المستقبلية! 🚀 ناسا تستخدمها لطي تلسكوبات وألواح شمسية عملاقة لتناسب حجم الصواريخ الصغيرة، ثم تفتح ذاتياً في الفضاء بدقة متناهية. الفن القديم يهزم التكنولوجيا الحديثة ويعيد تشكيل الكون! #Origami #Space

The future of engineering is fascinating

The first one reminds the inversed hatch from the Alien movie.

Okay, I found it 😂🔥 @grok, this one needs your best roast 😭 Here 👇

Wow what a craftsmanship

Parece algo saído de um filme de ficção, mas na real é inovação pura. Tomara que vire realidade logo.

This snow plow thing is a good idea

Amazing innovation! Origami inspired engineering could transform the future of lightweight, deployable space structures. Excited to see how this advances next generation space technology. I'd appreciate a follow back looking forward to connecting and sharing more AI & tech insights!

Wow 😮 wonderful

We are supposed to be a spacefaring civilization, yet our peak next gen deep space technology relies entirely on the exact same geometric principles an eight year-old uses to make a paper crane.

Origami is the gamechanger in many space missions 🔥🔥

Nice!

It’s a beautiful concept, but let’s be honest: you're using ancient paper folding techniques because human engineers still haven't figured out how to fit a basic solar array inside a rocket fairing without it jamming. 💀

Sweet!
