A03 宇宙デブリ捕獲用軽量ロボットアームの検討(宇宙システム)

抄録

Since the number of satellites in Earth orbit is steadily increasing, space debris will eventually pose serious problem to near-Earth space activities if left in orbit, and so effective measures to mitigate it are becoming urgent. This paper discusses an active space debris removal system, and proposes a simple light weight robot arm for capturing non-cooperative space debris.
