PIAP Space, a leader in this initiative, is developing systems for docking with non-responsive objects, service grippers, and robotic arm control systems to enhance precision in space operations. Furthermore, advancements in in-orbit manipulation and fuel transfer technologies are expected to significantly boost the capabilities of satellite servicing.
"We are excited to contribute to the sustainable development of space technologies through the INORT project. This initiative strengthens our commitment to responsible space operations and actively drives innovation in satellite technology. We are providing solutions that address current needs and shape the future of space technology," said Marcin Dobrowolski, CEO of PIAP Space.
The INORT project is being executed in collaboration with two centers from the Lukasiewicz Research Network - Institute of Aviation. The Space Technology Center is spearheading the development of refuelling technologies, including mechanical connectors and propellant transfer procedures. Concurrently, the Unmanned Technology Center is focusing on the energy aspects of the servicing mission, along with the development of optoelectronic sensors crucial for satellite localization and the control of docking and post-docking maneuvers.
