Telescience: Remote Interaction with Scientific Experiments

Abstract

In this paper, two remotely controlled scientific experiments are described: remote control on an astrometric telescope, and remote control of a fluid handling laboratory operated by a laboratory robot under microgravity conditions. The aim of these seemingly quite different experiments was to study the feasibility of employing common generic technology for teleoperating scientific equipment in space.
