Since he was eight years old, Robert Salazar has been making artistic creations from folded paper. Now, he is taking his love of origami to a different place: outer space. Salazar works with the Jet Propulsion Laboratory of the United States space agency NASA. He says that ideas from origami can help design devices for research and exploration. Origami offers the potential to take a very large structure, even a vast structure, and you can get it to fit within the rocket, go up, then deploy back out again. So it greatly magnifies what we are capable of building in space. Researchers are using ideas from origami on several space agency projects.
