Design and Testing of Torveastro: An Outer Space Service Robot

Space robots are one of the most promising solutions for on-orbit servicing (OOS) duties like docking, berthing, refueling, re-pairing, upgrading, transporting, rescuing, and orbital trash disposal. Numerous enabling techniques technological demonstration missions have been developed completed over past two decades. There several successful manned service missions, but unmanned not yet conducted. Robotic maintenance continues to be an important area investigation with numerous technical challenges. This report outlines design initial testing Torveastro, astronaut robot. The specifications provided concurrently simulation. In comparison simulation results, preliminary tests demonstrated behavior future development.
