Automated Low-Gravity Simulation System for Space Robotics and In-Orbit Operations

Business Development Manager at TECNALIA

San Sebastian, Spain

About

TECNALIA has developed a flexible and cable-based automated system capable of simulating microgravity or reduced-gravity environments to support the testing and validation of space technologies. This innovative platform enables realistic emulation of in-orbit scenarios, such as rendezvous and docking, on-orbit servicing, assembly, and robotic manipulation.

The system provides precise control of motion and forces, reproducing the dynamic behavior of objects in space with high accuracy. Its automation and modular architecture allow researchers and engineers to replicate complex maneuvers in a safe, repeatable, and cost-effective manner—facilitating the development, calibration, and verification of space robotic systems before launch.
