Abstract

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 and technological demonstration missions have been developed and complet...
