ID No : | 362 Edit | Title: | Ranger Telerobotic Flight Experiment Program Update |
Summary / Review : | This paper has photos and reports on experiments in the MIT water pool. From the author's abstract: "... the use of robotic systems, with capabilities ranging from simple teleoperation to complete autonomy. The Ranger Telerobotic Flight Experiment is designed to demonstrate in the near term the ability of a free flying telerobotic system to perform many required operational tasks including on-orbit refueling, instrumentation package replacement, and deployment of failed mechanisms such as antennae and solar arrays. In addition, this experiment will include the development and operation of a functionally equivalent neutral buoyancy environment for simulation of on-orbit robotic operations. By combining current robotic technology with a free-flying spacecraft bus, Ranger embodies a new class of highly capable space vehicles that will help meet the demand for future space operations." - MP |
