Title

Space Structures III Design, Development and Verification (Orbital infrastructure for in orbit service & manufacturing, Robotic and Mechatronic systems, including their Mechanical/Thermal/ Fluidic Systems)

type

oral

Description

The topics to be addressed include all aspects of orbital infrastructures design, development and verification, including their mechanical/robotic/thermal/fluidic systems and subsystems, such as manned and unmanned spacecraft, space stations, re-entry vehicles and small satellites. Advanced subsystems and design of future exploration missions will be covered, considering issues arising from material selection, cost efficiency and reliability, and advancements in development with respect to engineering analysis, manufacturing, and test verification. Furthermore, design and testing of robotic and mechatronics systems for exploration, in-orbit servicing and manufacturing of space structures will be addressed. It is also planned to discuss the issues of experimental and computational simulation of functioning and full-scale tests of space infrastructures and their systems/subsystems. Attention will be paid to the problem of verification and validation of mathematical models for the design and experimental development of these objects at various phases of their life cycle.
