Abstract
Space is evolving into a dynamic environment with expanding opportunities enabled by advancing technologies. From communication satellites and Earth observation to scientific exploration and future space infrastructure, the number of missions and systems operating in orbit continues to grow. With this expansion comes the need for more advanced technologies to manage, service, and interact with objects in space, especially in complex conditions like microgravity and in the presence of uncooperative or tumbling targets. Applications such as On-Orbit Servicing (OOS), Active Debris Removal (ADR), and autonomous inspection rely heavily on robotics and precise control. To develop and test these technologies, it’s essential to have reliable simulation platforms that can reproduce, at least partially, the dynamics of space.
Conducting experiments in orbit is expensive and often impractical, so ground-based simulators—particularly those that replicate microgravity conditions—are a key part of the development process
