5 Robotic Komponents Verification on ISS ROKVISS M. Turk German Aerospace Center, DLR, Bonn W. Paetsch, K. Landzettel, W. Naumann, J. Dalcolmo EADS-ST, DLR-OP,KT, vh&s 9 Objectives SPACE FLIGHT QUALIFICATION of DLR s highly 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 commands to be executed on board Repeated verification of joint parameters in a realistic free space mission environment
