Space-grade Robotic Arm with Ground-Control for Orbital Transfer Vehicle

Description

As a component of Challenge 10, a robotic arm is one of the prevalent ideas for orbital debris removal.
• It is proposed to develop a 3m long robotic arm, with at least 4 degrees of freedom.
• This arm must not derive too much power from the host satellite.
• It must be able to fold easily when not in use.
• The arm should be dexterous enough to capture even misshapen debris and release them in a designated orbit/towards Earth.
• Another desirable capability would be that the arm can aid in proximity operations and docking of satellites.
