It feels like a brief stay in space. With a 0.029g simulation of Ceres’ gravity, the robot can reliably jump to commanded spots up to 6m distant. Real-world tests demonstrate that SpaceHopper ...

Their parabolic flight mimicked the gravity found on Ceres, a dwarf planet in the middle main asteroid belt that divides Mars and Jupiter. Ceres' gravity (0.029 g) is minute compared with Earth's ...
