A free-flying space robot will accomplish manufacturing, assembling and repair instead of astronauts in the future unmanned space flight hbecause of its flexible maneuverability in space. This paper presents a task planning algorithm of retrieving invalid satellite for free-fiving space robot. First we discuss kinematics model and deduct cinematics equations of dual-arm space robot. Then the process of retrieving an invalid satellite, which is divided into eleven motion procedures. At the same time, we have developed a free-flying space robot task planning simulation system and the experimental results show that this algorithm is feasible and correct.
