About
Yelyzaveta Bondar is a researcher specializing in space robotics and autonomous systems for orbital servicing. Her primary research focuses on developing structural and conceptual models for robotic manipulators designed to capture and hold non-cooperative client spacecraft—a critical challenge in debris removal and satellite maintenance. Bondar’s most cited work, "Structural Model of Robot-Manipulator for Capture of No-Cooperation Client Spacecraft" (2017), proposes a robotic arm tailored to interface with standard Payload Adapter geometries (PAS 1666 S, PAS 1194 C, PAS 1666 MVS, PAS 1184 VS), while compensating for dynamic errors in linear and angular positioning of the target. This contribution addresses a key bottleneck in autonomous rendezvous and capture, offering a practical solution for stabilizing uncontrolled objects in orbit. With 2 citations, the paper has informed subsequent studies in space robotics and docking mechanisms. Bondar’s work is notable for bridging theoretical modeling with real-world adapter standards, making it directly applicable to future on-orbit servicing missions. Her research advances the feasibility of robotic capture in high-stakes, non-cooperative scenarios, positioning her as a contributor to the growing field of space sustainability and active debris removal.
