Objectives
SPACE FLIGHT QUALIFICATION of DLR’shighly integrated, light-weight robotic joint-elements for their application in free space environment
TELE PRESENCE operational mode verification - Direct operator involvement into the control loop- Up-and down-link round trip time of less than 500 ms- Tele-presence operations performed during direct link
contact phases (approximately 5 – 7 minutes).
TELE OPERATION mode verification
AUTOMATIC OPERATION MODES verification for new robotic control modes for.
Direct radio contact phases,high level robot commandsto be executed on board
Repeated verification of joint parameters in a realistic free space mission environment
