<b> India's first 'Space Robot' developed, launch next year </b>

Hyderabad, Dec 14 (UNI) In another step forward for the Indian space programme, the country is all set to launch its first ''Space Robot''.
The 'Space Robot' (SR), with an in-built 'RUDAC' communication signal processor, will be used to capture damaged satellites and space debris from crashing to Earth, CSRDC-CSRL and ISRDO Director Dr M Sreedhar Dayal told UNI.
Signals could be sent from an Earth station to make the Robot, built with a space control system, perform various tasks. The SR will use solar energy to activitate its 'wrist' movement and to navigate through space.
The launch would be done simultaneously along with one of the five satellites being developed by the three R and D institutions CSRDC (Communication Services Research and Development Centre), CSRL (Communication and Space Research Labs) and ISRDO (Indian Satellite Research and Development Organisation).
Space Robot marks a significant step in the country's Space programme. While Japan had very advanced Robotic Technology, it lacked the launch vehicle capability. On the other hand the United States had a very advanced Space programme but did not possess Robotic technology, Dr Dayal added.
Besides, the ''trinity'' are also working on the ''Spatial Computer'' capable of performing huge asstronomical calculations in seconds. Equipped with the very high speed nanoprocessors and Ultra-Large Scale Integrator (ULSI) and Giga Large Scale Integrator (GLSI) chips, the computer would be networked with 300 mainframe machines to carry out various applications.
The cost of the project, including the development of the Indian Irdium Satellite, Indian Spy Satellite, Indian ELINT Satellite and Indian Bio Satellite, is estimated at Rs 50 crore, of which ten per cent would be organisational contribution of the three institutions.
A five-member Members of Parliament committee will be constituted for effective and proper management of funds, he added.
