The DYnamic MAnipulation FLight EXperiment (DYMAFLEX) is intended to perform basic research on the dynamic interactions between high-rate motions of a manipulator on a free-flying spacecraft bus. The DYMAFLEX spacecraft consists of a 50-kg small satellite incorporating a cold-gas reaction control system for attitude control, which carries an 80-cm four degree-of-freedom manipulator with accommodations for the addition of various sized tip masses for changing dynamic properties on-orbit. The successful flight of DYMAFLEX would accomplish the flight validation of all critical technologies for smallsat-based satellite servicing capabilities.
