摘要

In support of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency's (DARPA) FREND program, Alliance Space-systems LLC (Pasadena, CA) has delivered to the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL; Washington, DC) the flight prototype robotic arm for a possible future satellite that could extend the lives of orbiting spacecraft by conducting on-orbit repairs, or towing fuel-depleted spacecraft to new orbits.
