ISAMNet Autonomous Orbital Rendezvous & Robotic Servicing Architecture
Sub-millimeter lidar relative navigation, tactile force-feedback, and inter-agent coordination
Central System: Autonomous Servicing Spacecraft - 7-DOF robotic manipulator arm with force-torque sensing
Network Nodes
- Autonomous Servicing Spacecraft
- RPO Sensor Suite
- Client Target Spacecraft
- Teleoperation Super-Controller
Architectural Protocol Layers
- Spaceborne PHY/MAC Layer (3GPP Rel-17 TS 38.300): Doppler compensation, HARQ disabling, and timing advance extension.
- Orbital Mesh Routing (CCSDS / Delay-Tolerant Networking): Dynamic topology routing over intermittent laser crosslinks.
- Regenerative Core Processing (OpenRAN / 3GPP CU-DU Split): Onboard user plane function (UPF) local breakout.
Key Metrics: < 18ms (LEO Orbit-to-Ground Roundtrip) | 100 Gbps (Optical Crosslink Throughput) | ±48 kHz (Doppler Shift Compensation) | 99.999% (Orbital Constellation Availability)
