The success of the S2 tech demo will be a major milestone for GITAI, confirming the feasibility of this technology as a fully operational system in space.<\/p>\n<p>The S2 is a robot that embodies the essence of GITAI\u2019s robotics technology, incorporating the same fundamental technology used in the company\u2019s innovative Inchworm Robot and Lunar Rover. During the demonstration, the S2 dual robotic arm system will be mounted external to the ISS on the <strong>Nanoracks Bishop Airlock<\/strong> and will perform on-orbit services, including maintenance, inspection, and life-extension operations for satellites.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.satnow.com\/news\/git_2_638427238173438969.jpg\" width=\"596\" style=\"width: 596px; height: 338.863px;\" height=\"338.863\" class=\"imageload removeImageattr\" data-original=\"https:\/\/cdn.satnow.com\/news\/git_2_638427238173438969.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a thrilling experience watching S2 launch on the SpaceX (NG-20) mission and successfully dock at the Space Station for GITAI\u2019s second demonstration,\u201d said <strong>Sho Nakanose, Founder and CEO of GITAI<\/strong>. \u201cWe\u2019re actively developing a spacecraft capable of performing rendezvous, repair, inspection, and life extension services for customers\u2019 satellites, and this tech demo will confirm the feasibility of our core technology for the ISAM services we\u2019re looking to offer commercial and government customers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>GITAI successfully passed the NASA safety reviews last August (2023) as a requirement for S2\u2019s external tech demo set to take place onboard the ISS expected in Q1 2024. By demonstrating this technology in space, GITAI aims to achieve Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 7 and establish ISAM capabilities.<\/p>\n<p>The S2 is the second demonstration mission for GITAI onboard the ISS. In 2021, GITAI successfully completed a technology demonstration of its S1 autonomous space robot and succeeded in executing two tasks: assembling structures and panels for In-Space Assembly (ISA), and operating switches &amp; cables for Intra-Vehicular Activity (IVA).<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable\" contenteditable=\"false\" draggable=\"true\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ajr7tcjZbMo?&amp;wmode=opaque\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\" class=\"fr-draggable\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GITAI, one of the world\u2019s leading space robotics startups, announced that its 1.5-meter-long autonomous dual robotic arm system (S2) successfully arrived at the International Space Station (ISS) aboard the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket (NG-20) to conduct an external demonstration of in-space servicing, assembly, and manufacturing (ISAM) while onboard the ISS.
