ORION Spacecraft Robotics Lab at Florida Institute of Technology

The Orbital Robotic Interaction, On-orbit servicing, and Navigation (ORION) laboratory at Florida Institute of Technology enables experimental research in controlling and operating teleoperated and autonomous ground, air, and space robots. The ORION Lab was designed, developed, and integrated by Dr. Markus Wilde in the period 2014 – 2018. The lab is built around a maneuver simulator and a motion tracking system. It also contains a control room, a supporting electronics workshop, and office space for graduate students and visiting researchers.
