［きぼう］船外実験プラットフォーム二期利用ミッション［EVA 支援ロボット実証実験］の開発

摘要

Space robot experiments named REXJ (Robot Experiment on ISS/JEM) to demonstrate some key technologies for the astronaut support robot (Astrobot) are to be conducted in the year 2012 on the exposed facility of the KIBO, Japanese Experiment Module of the International Space Station. Mission of the experiment is to demonstrate the tether based robot's locomotion capability. The robot can make spatial locomotion using an extendable robot arm and tethers.
