Abstract

We propose a new space system enabling orbital reconfiguration and recycling. We designed and fabricated a prototype of Cellular Satellite (CellSat) which is reconfigurable by autonomous space robots. The robotic precise assembly technology is developed. We demonstrated the CellSat feasibility in assembly experiment.
