This report describes the results of an evaluation of numerical integration schemes to be used for the digital simulation of second order ordinary differential equations (ODE's) which are characteristic for multibody systems such as space manipulators. The study focuses on dedicated schemes for this type of systems. Main attention is paid to the...

The report contains the development of the dynamics equations of a spacecraftmanipulator system with chain topology. The spacecraft may be flexible. The attached manipulator consists of an arbitrary number of links, connected by single degree-of-freedom rotational joints. None, any, or all of the links may be flexible. A rigid or flexible...

The Hermes manipulation system (HERA) is a sophisticated space manipulator system, which has to perform tasks ranging from berthing to tool operation in various operational modes from fully automatic to purely manual. The HERA system main contractor is Fokker Space & Systems B.V. (FSS). Development and qualification of such a space-based...

van Woerkom, P.T.L.M. (author)
For the simulation of rigid spacecraft manipulator dynamics there exists efficient recursive software. Extension of this software for the simulation of flexible spacecraft-manipulator dynamics would have important advantages. In this paper the method of Equivalent Flexibility Modelling (EFM) is outlined. Each flexible body is re-modelled as a...

The Hermes Manipulation System (HERA) will be an important part of the Hermes space plane system. The HERA is a sophisticated space manipulator system, which has to perform tasks ranging from capture and berthing to tool operation in various operational modes from fully automatic to purely manual. The HERA system main contractor is Fokker Space ...

Recently, the European Space Agency (ESA) initiated two studies to define a simulation facility for space operations involving space manipulators and other in-orbit servicing and assembly systems. This European Robotic Operations Simulator (EUROSIM) will play an important role during system development as well as prior and parallel to...

Four well-known formalisms for mathematical modelling of the dynamics of a spacecraft/manipulator system are derived from the unifying d'Alembert principle. The Newton-Euler formalism is discussed in more detail, as it allows efficient numerical simulation. An algorithm is defined for the control of the manipulator end-effector motion in...

Milgram, P. (author)
This report presents a discussion of short-term human engineering research requirements for developing rendezvous and docking and space telemanipulation capabilities. A catalogue of research topics related to human-in-the-loop teleoperation performance is given. This is followed by an overview of available resources for model analytical...
