Abstract
Tethered Space Robot, which is connected to a mother spacecraft through a tether, is a new type of space system, and its attitude can be controlled under tether tension by its own link motion. Kagawa University has started micro-satellite project in order to confirm and verify technologies for a tethered space robot. Such original and challenging missions are suitable for a university satellite because of short term development and low cost. It consists of a mother satellite and a daughter satellite connected by tether. The daughter satellite is a tethered space robot, and then tether is connected to the end of its arm link. This paper especially focuses on robotic mechanism of a daughter satellite.
