چکیده
Space Tethered Autonomous Robotic Satellite I (STARS-I) project has carried since January 2005 under the leadership of Kagawa University. The main objective of STARS-I project is technical verification for Tethered Space Robot (TSR). TSR is a new type of space robot system proposed in the previous work. STARS-I consists of two small cubic satellites, one satellite has a function of tether deployment and retrieval (mother satellite), and the other is a robot having one arm, and the arm end is attached to tether. Mission sequence is follows: firstly two satellites separate by an initial velocity; secondly tether is deployed and retrieved, also daughter satellite controls its attitude by arm motion under tether tension; finally two satellites dock. This paper describes Bread Board Model concept for STARS-I.
