ATOMROBOT’s space-robotics payload entered orbit aboard the Yunyao-1 28 satellite after its Nov. 7 launch from Jiuquan, the company said. The satellite separated from its rocket and entered a 535-kilometer sun-synchronous orbit.
The test unit comprises a four-degree-of-freedom space manipulator and an onboard controller, alongside cameras, a spectrometer and a test display, according to ATOMROBOT.
After orbit insertion, ground teams planned to command the arm to take images, transmit them back and capture a space target. These are planned operations; the company’s report did not yet describe successful in-orbit movements or returned test data.
