Abstract
:
Within this paper we present the electro-mechanical and control software development of a highly integrated robotic joint. We are giving insight in the selection of mechanical and electrical components and their evaluation with respect to a LEO mission. Apart from laboratory tests and initial radiation tests, further environmental tests are plannedto qualify the system in the near future. The result is a novel and compact motor unit with integrated control electronics for space applications
