The history of steam power goes all the way back to the 1700s. At the time, steam was used to power many different machines and helped fuel the Industrial Revolution. Over the years, steam was replaced by other fuel systems to power everything from homes to cars to industrial equipment. Now, some American scientists are developing steam power for one of today’s most highly technical activities, space exploration. Research scientists from the University of Central Florida (UCF) and U.S.-based space company Honeybee Robotics are carrying out the project. The scientists are developing and testing a space robot model named The World Is Not Enough, which they call WINE for short. The spacecraft is designed to travel repeatedly between space rocks called asteroids and planets throughout the solar system.
