Earth ApplicationsInformation Pending
The equipment operates in the visual presence modes (the ground remote manual control in real time). During SE sessions by means of specially developed mathematical software the robotic arm control is provided via the panel of the ground antenna station in Weilheim (Germany) from work stations located at TsNII RTK (St. Petersburg) and RSC Energia (Korolev) using Internet. During the experiment the following is provided: acquisition of service and video data on the manipulator operation. On the external hinge of the manipulator there are three video cameras (stereo system and video camera for environmental survey) the data from which is transmitted to the ground. Images from TV cameras mounted on the manipulator, which allow to trace the experiment progress in the passive mode, are transferred via Internet. The service information to provide the experiment comes through nominal telemetry channels.
Operational ProtocolsInformation Pending
Experimental data with results of the robotic arm control sessions via Internet with visual control using a TV camera for the robotic arm movements; the results are transmitted via Internet and verified for their compliance with design ones.
