Integrated Gravity Off-loading Robotic System

IGOR facility is an alternative solution for testing guidance and control algorithms of Aerospace Unmanned Systems where it is possible to have six degrees of freedom plus translation in all three axes. The system has the capability of carrying spacecraft using a cable and following its motion by using a X-Y tracking active system. It also has a gravity offload device that simulates reduced gravity which allows different space environments to be simulated.
