On-orbit servicing, such as supplying, refueling, and retrieval, is planned to support various space activities. On-orbit servicing robots would become one of the key elements of the on-orbit servicing systems providing specific services for satellites, platforms and space stations. NASDA is currently developing an experimental satellite Engineering Test Satellite VII (ETS-VII) in order to study the feasibility of space robot as future on-orbit servicing tool. This paper describes latest study of the on-orbit servicing robot, and general concepts of space cranes and dexterous servicing robots.
