Robotics and telemanipulation will be key features of future space missions and the systems upon which these missions depend for their success will require extensive design and development effort. An intrinsic and important feature of this preparatory activity will be simulations to support the development of systems from their conceptual design through to their use in operational missions. The role of simulation in the development of space robotic systems in general is outlined and by means of two recent examples of activity, some of the considerations arising from the application of these techniques to particular aspects of evolving an in-orbit infrastructure, are discussed.
