Division of Earth and Planetary Sciences, Graduate School of Science, Nagoya University, 2. JAXA/ISAS Explorations of small solar system bodies bring us direct and unique information about the formation and evolution of the Solar system. Asteroids may preserve accretion processes of planetesimals or pebbles, a sequence of destructive events induced by the gas-driven migration of giant planets, and hydrothermal processes on the parent bodies. After successful small-body missions like Rosetta to comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, Dawn to Vesta and Ceres, and New Horizons to Pluto, two spacecraft Hayabusa2 and OSIRIS-REx are now traveling to dark primitive asteroids.The Hayabusa2 spacecraft journeys to a C-type near-earth asteroid (162173) Ryugu (1999 JU3) to conduct detailed remote sensing observations and return samples from the surface. The Haybusa2 spacecraft developed by Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) was successfully launched on 3 Dec. 2014 by the H-IIA Launch Vehicle and performed an Earth swing-by on 3 Dec. 2015 to set it on a course toward its target. The spacecraft will reach Ryugu in the summer of 2018, observe the asteroid for 18 months, and sample surface materials from up to three different locations. The samples will be delivered to the Earth in Nov.-Dec. 2020. Ground-based observations have obtained a variety of optical reflectance spectra for Ryugu. Some reported the 0.7 μm absorption feature and steep slope in the short wavelength region, suggesting hydrated minerals.
  • TINA Small Force-Controlled Robotic Arm for Exploration and Small Satellites

    TINA Small Force-Controlled Robotic Arm for Exploration and Small Satellites

    DLR.de/en TINA Small force-controlled robotic arm for exploration and small satellites Brief description The robotic arm TINA is a four-axis space demonstrator to investigate autonomous operations during exploration missions on Earth. Aims The aim of the research project is to demonstrate the technology needed for a small, force-controlled robotic arm for use in space. By selecting specific components, it is possible to use TINA in Parties involved microgravity conditions as well as on Earth. DLR Institute of Robotics and Mechatronics Applications Facts and figures - Exploration, rover - Degrees of freedom: up to 7 - Controller: hard real time - Small satellites - Size: up to 2 m long - Radiation hardness: - Weight: 1.6 kg per joint various levels possible - Data transmission: - Tools: different end effectors can be Spacewire selected - Data rate: 3kHz - Supply voltage: +20V to +70V @DLR_en DLR.de/en TINA Small force-controlled robotic arm for exploration and small satellites The design of TINA follows the ‘qualifiable’ philosophy of DEXHAND [1], which uses industrial-grade compo- nents with a similar performance to their space equivalents and follows the ECSS guidelines closely, or uses the industrial-grade versions of radiation-hardened electronic components. This philosophy ensures that the transition to a fully qualified design can be achieved with a minimum number of changes. It also provides an almost perfect version for thermal and EMI modelling. Another big advantage is the low price compared to the fully qualified, radiation-hardened version, which allows the construction of multiple test arms for grasp- ing, object handling and many other applications. Each joint is made up of a brushless DC motor in combination with a resolver for commutation and position sensing, a harmonic drive gearbox, a brake for safety reasons and a torque sensor to give TINA the ability to ‘feel’.

Langee a German Aerospace Center (DLR), Institute of Space Systems, Bremen, Germany, [email protected] b German Aerospace Center (DLR), Executive Board, Space Research and Technology, Cologne, Germany, c European Space Agency (ESA) Contractor, Johnson Space Center, Houston, USA, d Bigelow Aerospace, Las Vegas / Washington, USA, e Airbus DS, Bremen, Germany Abstract The International Space Station ISS demonstrates long-term international cooperation between many partner governments as well as significant engineering and programmatic achievement mostly as a compromise of budget, politics, administration and technological feasibility. A paradigm shift to use the ISS more as an Earth observation platform and to more innovation and risk acceptance can be observed in the development of new markets by shifting responsibilities to private entities and broadening research disciplines, demanding faster access by users and including new launcher and experiment facilitator companies. A review of worldwide activities shows that all spacefaring nations are developing their individual programmes for the time after ISS. All partners are basically still interested in LEO and human spaceflight as discussed by the ISECG. ISS follow-on activities should comprise clear scientific and technological objectives combined with the long term view on space exploration.

    Sixty Years of Australia in Space

    Journal & Proceedings of the Royal Society of New South Wales, vol. 153, part 1, 2020, pp. 46–57. ISSN 0035-9173/20/010046-12 Sixty years of Australia in space Kerrie Dougherty Space Humanities Department, International Space University, Strasbourg, France Email: [email protected] Abstract Australia’s involvement in space activities commenced in 1957, at the beginning of the Space Age, with space tracking and sounding rocket launches at Woomera. By 1960, Australia was considered one of the leading space-active nations and in 1967 became one of the earliest countries to launch its own satellite. Yet by 1980, Australia’s space prominence had dwindled, with the country lacking both a national space agency and a coherent national space policy. Despite attempts in the latter part of the 1980s to develop an Australian space industry, the lack of a coherent and consistent national space policy and an effective co-ordinating body, left Australia constantly “punching below its weight” in global space activities until the Twenty First Century. This paper will briefly examine the often-contradictory history of Australian space activities from 1957 to the announcement of the Australian Space Agency in 2017, providing background and context for the later papers in this issue. Introduction Launchpad: the Woomera or 60,000 years the Indigenous people of Rocket Range FAustralia have looked to the sky, using “If the Woomera Range did not already exist, the stars to determine their location, find the proposal that Australia should engage in their way across the land and mark the a program of civil space research would be passage of the seasons and the best times unrealistic”.
