The tests were conducted in Platform-art®, GMV’s robotic laboratory designed to simulate some of the conditions the system would encounter once in orbit
The MIRROR robot can assemble large structures in orbit using smaller modules that fit in the launch systems available today, paving the way for new applications such as orbital solar power stations, large-scale telescopes or antennas, and more
In order to successfully accomplish its mission, MIRROR must tackle challenges such as achieving exceptional precision in assembling parts, safely maneuvering within the structure it is assembling, or being able to use tools to assemble the components
