  • 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’.

  • Baikonur-International Space Station : International Approach to Lunar Exploration
    ICEUM4, 10-15 July 2000, ESTEC, Noordwijk, The Netherlands Baikonur-International Space Station : International Approach to Lunar Exploration Gulnara Omarova, National Aerospace Agency; Chinghis Omarov, ISU Summer Session '98 alumni On 20th November 1998 our aircraft made soft landing at the Baikonur airport. I was among onboard passengers - officials from Kazakhstan Space, press and diplomats. We all were invited to attend the launch of the International Space Station (ISS) first component (the Russian-made Zarya or Functional Cargo Module FGB) by Proton launch-vehicle at the Baikonur spaceport. Two hours before ISS first module launch we joined the official delegations from NASA, Russian Space Agency (RSA), ESA, Canadian Space Agency (CSA) and NASDA to see the modified facilities of both "Energiya" Corp. and Khrunichev's Proton assembly-and- test building. Mr. Yuri Koptev, Chief of RSA and Mr. Dan Goldin, NASA Administrator actively were drinking russian tea and talking about crucial issues of the International Space Station and the future of Space Exploration. In fact, Cold War is over and the world's top space powers accomplishments are stunning: • The first human flight in space in 1961; • Human space flight initiatives to ascertain if and how long a human could survive in space; • Project Gemini (flights during 1965-1966) to practice space operations, especially rendezvous and docking of spacecraft and extravehicular activity; • Project Apollo (flights during 1968-1972) to explore the Moon; • Space Shuttle's flights (1981 - present); • Satellite programs; • A permanently occupied space station "Mir" (during 1976-1999); • A permanently occupied International Space Station presently underway. We and a few people approached them to learn much more particulars of their talking and to ask them most interesting questions.

  • 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”.
