Zusammenfassung
The orbital space ecosystem is undergoing significant change, with numerous initiatives focused on in-orbit services, assembly, and manufacturing. These initiatives are being developed globally, with ongoing studies in America, Asia, and Europe. As these technologies evolve, questions arise about their compatibility and interoperability, especially for long-term in-orbit operations. The Space USB project addresses these challenges by aiming to connect European partners involved in the emerging interconnection systems market for in-orbit services. Its goal is to improve the compatibility and interoperability of these systems across Europe, with perspectives for broader international application. As part of
this project, a prototype has been developed to connect with the interconnection systems of three European partners. A test campaign was conducted to assess the prototype’s functionality, using a robotic system.
