Uni leads $2.3M project for in-orbit satellite maintenance

The new project will develop robotic satellite technologies to reliably connect with other satellites to perform in-orbit repairs and maintenance.

Dr. Xiaofeng Wu, a Senior Lecturer in Space Engineering at the University's School of Aerospace, Mechanical, and Mechatronic Engineering, aims to create robotic satellite technologies capable of conducting in-orbit repairs and maintenance tasks. The project's significance is underscored by Professor Andy Koronios, Chief Executive Officer of SmartSat CRC, who highlights the critical role of ISAM technologies in enabling Australia to participate in the emerging global supply chain for satellite maintenance.

Furthermore, the ISAM project recognizes the need for fault-tolerant navigation systems. With the limited hardware and computational resources available in space, accurate detection and tracking of small objects become paramount. By addressing these four technology areas comprehensively, the ISAM project aims to develop a holistic set of capabilities for autonomous orbital robotics.
