Service Manipulator ARM (SMA) for a Robotic Servicing Experiment (ROSE)

摘要

The most important features of the Robotic Servicing Experiment (ROSE), where the servicing equipment such as the Service Manipulator System and the Orbit Replacement Units and the servicing operations are demonstrated in orbit within a representative scenario are identified. The shuttle was selected to carry all the necessary hardware and software into orbit and to provide resources required by the experiments. The in orbit operator will be located in the shuttle cabin or in a pressurized module close to the half pallet where the ROSE elements will be mounted inside the cargo bay. The ROSE and service manipulator arm development programs are outlined.
