SPECIAL PRESENTATION – ARGOS
The Active Response Gravity Offload System (ARGOS) is designed to simulate reduced gravity environments such as Lunar (1/6G), Martian (1/3G), or microgravity (0G). ARGOS achieves six degree of freedom motion using an active XYZ system similar to a bridge crane whereas rotational degrees of freedom are passively managed by a gimballing mechanism at the payload interface. ARGOS’ control system continuously tracks and offloads of a percentage of a human or robotic payload’s weight during a wide range of partial gravity and microgravity activities. The facility supports surface operation studies, suit and vehicle requirements development, suit and vehicle design evaluation, robotic development, mass handling studies, and crew training with both suited and shirt-sleeved subjects.
