[Dec. 10, 2007] NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) has awarded a research grant to WCSAR for the development of robotic systems to repair orbital friction stir welds used in the construction of the Ares launch vehicles. The first system will culminate in a proof-of-principal prototype at TRL6, which can later be developed into a TRL9 system.
