This thesis presents the development and implementation of an end-to-end simulation environment for robotic space missions. The ’Robotic Actuation, Control, and On-Orbit Navigation Simulator’, RacoonSim, is designed for enhancing the development of new technologies and strategies in space robotics. It allows testing of both teleoperated and autonomous robotic scenarios at each development stage. Concept studies at very low system definition level are possible as well as closed loop verification tests and optimizations of design details.      «
