Development and validation of a linear recursive "order-n" algorithm for the simulation of flexible space manipulator dynamics

Space manipulator deformation models and accuracy of berthing manoeuvres

Developing algorithms for efficient simulation of flexible space manipulator operations

A brief description is given of the European Robot Arm (ERA), and its intended application to assembly, maintenance, and servicing of the Russian segment of the International Space Station Alpha. The need for manipulator simulation is recalled, and ERA simulator development is outlined. System characteristics that must be modelled for...
