Abstract

The Astrobee free flying robots operate inside the International Space Station (ISS) under supervisory control of a ground operator or ISS crew. They replace the Synchronized Position Hold Engage and Reorient Experimental Satellites (SPHERES) as research platforms for zero-g free-flying robotics. Astrobee can also serve as a mobile camera/sensor platform for flight and payload controllers to improve ISS operations. Development began in late 2014, and flight hardware deployed to the ISS on several launches starting from November 2018 to October 2019. Shortly after the first two robots arrived in April 2019, we began a series of commissioning activities to validate the Astrobee robots. This paper reviews the Astrobee system and describes the on-orbit commissioning activities and results.
