Maneuverable Automated Tethered Space Tug Simulator
This TIP will develop autonomous capabilities for the space tugs in the Flat Floor Robotics Laboratory (FFRL) for use in support of In-Space Servicing, Assembly, and Manufacturing (ISAM) and future vehicles in the FFRL. The space tugs would be housed on larger spacecraft, such as ISS or Gateway, and deployed for various ISAM activities. When these activities are complete, the space tug can be reeled back to its host spacecraft.
