I hear about the only person around it doesn't have TV coverage of the face and
then they got the black up now you're gonna be the one getting a TV picture is
still yet we are getting a TV picture

space exploration has advanced significantly over the last four decades
today several hundred spacecraft are orbiting Earth and beyond changing the
way we live and do business communication satellites provide voice
data and video service allowing us to communicate around the globe earth
observation satellites help to monitor the health of the earth large Research
Laboratories on the International Space Station allow us to conduct experiments
in human health satellites and orbiting Observatory allow us to explore our
solar system giving us a better understanding of our planet and the
universe beyond we have made many strides but to sustain exploration of
space and maximize these critical space assets we need to be able to maintain
repair and upgrade them
canada is leading the way with next-generation robotic technologies
that will extend the life of satellites and other spacecraft help manage the
growing concern of orbital debris and serve as the building block for future
missions that will allow spacecraft to venture to new destinations building on
our heritage as a leader in space robotics canada has initiated the next
generation canada on project to develop an advanced he robotic technologies and
prototypes needed for on-orbit servicing of spacecraft this will prepare us for
new challenges and the next steps in global space exploration the next
generation canada on project is a world-class facility that will
demonstrate key capabilities for a complete robotic servicing mission from
approach to docking servicing and departure
at the heart of the next generation test bed facility is the mission operations
station a next-generation control station designed to allow operators to
plan simulate and execute servicing missions at various locations from low
Earth orbit and Beyond this flexible control station will let an operator
evaluate different aspects of a robotic servicing mission from lighting
conditions to telemetry delays and other challenges of remote operations the
proximity operations testbed or post stimulates the final approach and
alignment of the servicing spacecraft critical steps required for on-orbit
servicing post will be used to investigate and understand the demands
on the operator and control techniques and strategies needed during the final
alignment and approach to the spacecraft for servicing the next generation large
armed a successor to canadarm2 has been designed to fit on the smaller space
craft of the future
this state-of-the-art arm can be used to capture and Bertha degraded or ailing
satellite the large armed testbed demonstrates lightweight deployables
telescoping boom technology to meet the challenge of reach and volume
to ensure successful on-orbit docking or birthing of next generation spacecraft
or satellite some of which may not have been designed with robotic servicing in
mind a docking testbed will help carry out docking experiments
building on the capabilities of Canadian expertise the next generation small arm
test better the more advanced small lightweight dextrous robot with advanced
electronics software and control system the testbed will demonstrate the ability
to service a range of spacecraft outfitted with specialized tool the next
generation small arm will perform a variety of intricate servicing talks
including removal of fitting from thermal blanket
cutting wires on fuel cat
acting for appellant fill and drain valve and orbital replacement unit
change out
once the precision robotic servicing tasks to refuel and replace parts on the
spacecraft or complete the spacecraft can undock and move to the next
satellite that requires servicing the mission operation station links all four
testbed allowing the evaluation and demonstration of human robot
interactions for different exploration and servicing mission in the future
these mission simulations will be conducted by operators that the Canadian
Space Agency driving the test beds remotely the next generation Canada arm
facility will serve as the hub for government industry and academia to
advance Canada's robotic knowledge and turn knowledge into products and further
strengthen candidate leadership in advanced robotics
I had her mother
it doesn't have TV coverage of the food and that man got the black up now and
you're gonna be the one getting a TV picture now they'll yes we are going
Victor you're looking out at 1-all
wait
