Abstract: In the era of New Space, satellites for performing on-orbit serving (OOS) missions are being developed, and companies are emerging to provide services by developing space robot satellites, space robot arms, and space robot rovers. Various missions for servicing in orbit include failure repair, refueling, towing, component replacement, and space construction, and to perform this, robot satellites and space rovers equipped with robot arm payloads must be developed. The development of space robot satellites that perform on-orbit serving missions is carried out by various companies and institutions overseas, but there are not many in Korea. In this paper, foreign companies that develop space robot satellites were introduced and organized, and technologies developed and applied by foreign companies to develop space robot satellites were described.
