## Description

The Catapult requires a two-robot solution that enables testing and validation of capabilities for IOSM functions\. The IOSM facility will sit within a space of 21\.6m \(length\) x 12\.3m \(wide\) x 8m \(height\) within the Westcott Disruptive Innovation for Space Centre\. Additional control rooms and laboratories will be available for preparation, experimentation and other activities\. The system will provide a nationally unique facility with two industrial type robots \(one of which is mounted on a travel track\) capable of representing equivalent motion in all axis and capable of supporting spacecraft \(or scale representations\) up to 50kg each\.
