ELECTROADHESIVE ATTACHMENT FOR ORBITAL SERVICING
This paper presents validated electroadhesive attachment technology enabling diverse on-orbit servicing missions from active debris removal to scientific asset preservation. Testing demonstrates capture and control of rapidly rotating spacecraft exceeding traditional mechanical grappling limitations, expanding the addressable population of serviceable orbital objects. The research goal was validating universal attachment capability across mission types without requiring…
