This paper focuses on the dynamics of a 6-dof manipulator mounted on a free-flying servicer satellite during final part of an on-orbit rendezvous maneuver. Determination of reaction torques induced by the manipulator on the servicer satellite is critical for the development of the Guidance, Navigation and Control (GNC) subsystem. Presented in this paper is a path planning algorithm for capturing a tumbling target satellite, as well as simulation results of the capture maneuver and folding of the manipulator with the attached target satellite. The second part of this paper is focused on the presentation of our work leading to the construction of a planar air-bering test-bed for space manipulators.
