21. OS Capture/ Manipulation Testbed The ability to attract and remotely manipulate an orbiting sample may provide the key to breaking the chain of Martian debris and contamination, which must be addressed before MSR is attempted. By preserving the concept of a passive OS, this solution also maintains the integrity of sample-to-orbit designs. Capture (attractive forces bring in OS with given initial conditions) Proximity operations (stabilize the OS from its initial conditions, manipulate SRO to be in control of OS dynamics) Trapping/Cleaning/Sterilizing operations (actively manipulate the OS and maintaincontrol in the presence of cleaning forces/torques) Docking (bring the separation distance of the OS-SRO to zero) Flux-Pinned Orbiting Sample Capture (FPOS) R&TD Co-Is: Joe Parrish (6x), Mason Peck (Cornell University) Pre-Decisional Information -- For Planning and Discussion Purposes Only
