WASHINGTON — A room on the International Space Station could ultimately be converted and detached to carry astronauts on their next great adventure, to an asteroid, NASA scientists say.
The space station's Tranquility module, known as Node 3, could be repurposed as the main living space for humans headed to a nearby asteroid, NASA officials said. The node could be connected to two space exploration vehicles and have add-on inflatable modules. [Concept photo of the asteroid mission.]
"There's no new ideas under the sun," said Brian Wilcox, a roboticist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. He said NASA "Blue Sky" group had focused on repurposing technologies for new missions during a brainstorming session this year.
