The leading European company in space robotics, PIAP Space, announced that it had successfully finished the ORBITA project co-funded by regional funds. This ambitious initiative focuses on enhancing the utility and efficiency of satellite servicing by introducing end-effectors MULTIS and LARIS, which are designed for use on robotic manipulators in orbit. The solution will provide the possibility of regular maintenance and repair missions in harsh space environment. It will allow the space industry to save financial and technological resources and extend the life cycle of the satellites.
