Feasibility and Safety Dynamic Requirements Analysis of Space Resources On-Orbit Repurposing by Robotic Spacecraft

Article Preview

Abstract:

The concept of Space Resources On-Orbit Repurposing (SROOR) is generalized by presenting the brief introduction of Phoenix Program. The feasibility of satellite bus components repurposing is analyzed, as well as the resources in geosynchronous orbit (GEO). Several safety dynamic requirements are studied and simulated. The conclusion suggests that SROOR is not only feasible but also needful and has broad application prospects.
