Details

KAIST will deploy the Active Debris Removal Satellite (ADRSAT) to take action for space sustainability in 2027. The mission will employ various technologies to demonstrate rendezvous and capture. 

In particular, ARML has been developing a novel soft gripper for capturing a nanosatellite (CubeSat).
