It’s an ancient form of art, but now origami is providing modern solutions in the fields of space, engineering, mathematics, and medicine. Canadian aerospace engineer, Manan Arya, has been working for years on a galactic puzzle – how to block starlight in a universe with up to one septillion stars. For The New Reality, Eric Sorensen sat down with Arya to see how origami can help in future space explorations.
According to NASA, there are a couple hundred billion stars in the galaxy. Here on earth, we can only see a few thousand of the nearest ones. Even though we marvel at their existence, for those in space exploration, the glare from the stars could hinder future discoveries.

“When you’re trying to look for earth-like planets next to sun-like stars, … the reflected light from the planets is about 10 billion times fainter in the light of the star,” says Manan Arya, now an assistant professor at Stanford University.

Arya has been working for years on a galactic puzzle: how to block starlight in a universe that could contain up to one septillion stars? One solution, he says, lies in an ancient form of art: folding paper.

“The reason we need origami for space applications is because we want to launch structures in space that are just amazingly big,” says Arya.

He says engineers need to be able to fold these structures to fit neatly within rockets and “then unfold when they get to space.”
