The brief

An overhead gantry system that will enable simulation of orbital environments by off-loading the effect of gravity on a suspended object.

The system provided will installed in the Catapult's existing facility and will cover an area of 6m x 6m x 6m (l x w x h) and capable of carrying a 150kg payload.

The system will be required to suspend objects in a free-floating manner but be able to move the object when a force is applied to it, thus simulating the in-orbit dynamics experienced during contact between space craft.

Installation & commissioning of the system is to be included by the supplier.
