MACKI_app

M.A.C.K.I., or Microgravity Actuated Capturing Kinetic Instrument, is a project that uses specially designed silicon grippers - 'tentacles' - in order to grasp objects. The main purpose of the experiment is to check whether the AEG will work in the reduced gravity environment and if it is viable for space-related projects.
