How it works
Obruta develops a rendezvous, proximity-operations and docking kit combining navigation sensors with autonomous flight software. The standard offering addresses cooperative targets, integrates existing spacecraft sensor data and includes safe-abort logic; uncooperative targets or robotic-arm missions require separate engineering discussion. NASA documents software tests using Astrobee robots inside the ISS, while CSA funding through September 2027 addresses hardware and complete-kit validation before an inaugural kit spaceflight.
