The Integrated System for Autonomous and Adaptive Caretaking (ISAAC) project is developing technology for autonomous caretaking of spacecraft, primarily during uncrewed mission phases. ISAAC aims to integrate autonomous intra-vehicular robots (IVR) with spacecraft infrastructure (power, life support, etc.) and ground control. It focuses on capabilities required for NASA’s Gateway cis-lunar outpost that also apply to human missions to Mars and beyond. Its development strategy is to test using existing IVR on the ISS (the Astrobee free-flyer and Robonaut dextrous manipulator) as an analog for future IVR on Gateway.
