The goal of the thesis is the verification of the applicability of telepresence to on-orbit servicing (OOS), i.e. an unmanned servicing operation in space, teleoperated from ground. For that purpose, a test environment was set up on ground, which involved the LRT ground station in Garching, Germany and the ESA ground station in Redu, Belgium. Both were connected via the geostationary ESA data relay satellite ARTEMIS. Utilizing the data relay satellite, a teleoperation was accomplished, in which the human operator as well as the (space) teleoperator were located on ground. A virtual scenario and a robotic application were controlled by a human operator via the data relay satellite. The manipulation tasks were representative for OOS and supported feedback from the haptic-visual workspace. It has been shown that it is possible to accomplish complex OOS operations in (near) real time by using a geostationary satellite for data relay.
