On the simulations concerning the dynamics and control of space manipulator systems Available to Purchase

There has been an increasing attention towards the research of space manipulator systems for different applications like on-orbit servicing, debris removal etc. from various institutions across the globe. This resulted in the trend of investigating simple methods to couple various manipulator and base/spacecraft pose control methodologies that already exist independently in the literature. One such scientific work in this direction proposed a control strategy for purely manipulator end-effector trajectory tracking control while the base/spacecraft is station kept. This paper investigates the generalizability of the control strategy proposed by the scientific work for various space manipulation applications.
