Robots for space.




Orbital Robotics has developed an innovative simulator for in-orbit maintenance tasks such as assembly, maintenance and repairs on satellites, using large industrial robots the system simulates the absence of weight and is equipped with a light and sensitive robotic arm, marking a great step towards future of in-orbit maintenance services.


For decades satellites have been our eyes and ears in space transmitting radio and TV channels to earth monitoring, the environment and exploring the universe, but we are now in an era of rapidly evolving communication and companies like Space & Security that operates more than 50 communication satellites face the challenge of keeping up with this evolution, but what is changing so quickly.


The growing demand for in-orbit services and orbital robotics is gaining strength especially in the United States. NASA and Darpa in collaboration with the aerospace industry are working on current and future missions and companies such as Orbital ATK and Effective Space Solutions are investing heavily in services. of life extension for satellites Space Robots on the ISS have focused on moving equipment and performing instrument maintenance, however, demand for more skilled space robots is growing significantly.

Large projects such as ESA's Moon Village, NASA's exploration of Mars and the construction of human habitats on the moon by China and the United States require space robots capable of executing complex tasks, comparable to industrial applications on Earth. and they must be able to assemble, build, maintain and work both independently and in teams with other robots and humans, especially to support astronauts, for this the development of advanced technologies, including robotic arms, articulated hands, is crucial. and sophisticated application software.


Unlike terrestrial robotics, space robots face extreme conditions of microgravity, variable lighting and limited computing power on board, therefore, many technologies need to be adapted or developed from scratch to function reliably in space.


We are just beginning to explore the incredible possibilities that orbital robotics can offer. The future promises to be full of innovations that will transform our presence AND ability to operate in space.
