Abstract :
This paper presents the Dual Arm Free-flying Space Robotic System (DAFSR) which is developed for On-Orbit Servicing to GEO stationary satellite. DAFSR consists of free-flying platform, target detecting system and two space manipulators. In this paper, the mission schedule and the design of the system are described in detail, as well as the target detecting system and the ground tele-operational system. The planned missions include on-orbit target chasing and approaching, flying around and inspection, manipulator capturing and ¿soft¿ docking, robotic maintenance. This paper introduces the components and key techniques of DAFSR.
