IROSA 3A EVA Robotics

The MAGIK Robotic analysis team provides kinematic feasibility assessments and robotic visualizations for the ISS. This animation was created with configurations provided by the CX Team and showcases the robotics for the IROSA 3A EVA install. The ExtraVehicular Activity (EVA) shown include the extraction of one ISS Roll-Out Solar Array (IROSA) from the ISS Power Augmentation (IPA) carrier by an astronaut on the end of the Space Station Remote Manipulator System (SSRMS) and subsequent install on the ISS starboard side truss. Operations during the EVA not shown will complete the install of the IROSA.

Visualization of Upcoming ISS Changes - Featuring MLM Install

The MAGIK Robotic analysis team provides kinematic feasibility assessments and robotic visualizations for the ISS. The latest visualization displays ISS planned operations in increments 65 and 66 as of the 7/6/21 flight plan. Featured events include the arrival of the Multipurpose Laboratory Module (MLM) and surrounding visiting vehicle actions. The complete list of actions shown include: Repeated ISS attitude adjustment maneuvers from: starting position with positive X Velocity Vector (+XVV), yaw to -XVV, and pitch to final position with -ZVV. Then subsequent return to -XVV and nominal position +XVV. Crew-2 relocation from Node 2 Forward (N2F) to Node 2 Zenith (N2Z). 77 Progress with Docking Compartment 1 (DC1) undock and departure. MLM install. Boe-OFT2 arrival and departure at N2F. NG-16 arrival and berth at Node 1 Nadir (N1N). SpX-23 arrival at N2F. 64 Soyuz relocation and fly-around. SpX-23 departure from N2F. 65 Soyuz approach and dock to MRM-1. 64 Soyuz undock and departure. 78 Progress relocation.

IROSA 2B/4B EVA Robotics

The MAGIK Robotic analysis team provides kinematic feasibility assessments and robotic visualizations for the ISS. This animation was created with configurations provided by the CX Team and showcases the robotics for the IROSA install 2B and 4B EVAs. The ExtraVehicular Activities (EVAs) shown include the extraction of the two ISS Roll-Out Solar Arrays (IROSAs) from the ISS Power Augmentation (IPA) carrier by an astronaut on the end of the Space Station Remote Manipulator System (SSRMS) and subsequent handoff to a second astronaut on the ISS port side truss. Extravehicular activities not shown will complete the install of the IROSAs.

MAGIK Animation of Robotic Operations for Flight SpaceX-22 to ISS

The MAGIK Robotic analysis team provides kinematic feasibility assessments for the ISS and has produced an animation to evaluate Extravehicular Robotics (EVR) activities for the SpaceX (SpX)-22 flight. The animation also displays the current ISS configuration at the time of the flight. Flight SpX-22 includes a SpaceX Cargo Dragon vehicle docked to Node 2 Zenith (N2Z) International Docking Adapter (IDA) and consists of the delivery of the ISS Power Augmentation (IPA) Carrier. Robotic operations shown include the Space Station Remote Manipulator System (SSRMS) Trunk extraction of the IPA Carrier and maneuvering to the install position on the Payload ORU (Orbital Replacement Unit) Accommodation (POA). There is no disposal payload for this flight.

MAGIK Animation of Robotic Operations for Flight SpaceX-21 to ISS

The MAGIK Robotic analysis team provides kinematic feasibility assessments for the ISS and has produced an animation to evaluate Extravehicular Robotics (EVR) activities for SpaceX (SpX)-21 flight. Flight SpX-21 includes a Dragon 2 vehicle docked to Node 2 Zenith (N2Z) International Docking Adapter (IDA) and consists of the delivery of the NanoRacks Airlock Assembly (NRAL). Robotic operations shown include Space Station Remote Manipulator System (SSRMS) Trunk extraction of the NRAL and maneuvering through the ISS Port Corridor to Node 3 Port (N3P). Extravehicular Activities not shown will complete the install to N3P. There is no disposal payload for this flight.
