a fully autonomous mechatronic experiment, launched on March
19, 2019, on board the REXUS rocket, during the 26th Campaign
of the REXUS/BEXUS Programme. The main goal of the
experiment was to investigate the jamming phenomenon in the
space environment (microgravity and vacuum) as well as to
construct a version of industry device known as jamming gripper,
capable of operating in conditions where negative pressure
(physical basis of operation in Earth-like conditions) cannot be
obtained due to the presence of only a residual atmosphere. The
structure was designed as 1-DOF manipulator, whose effector is an
elastic membrane that stimulates jamming of ground coffee
particles inside. During the suborbital flight, a series of catches
were performed on a single object and the force with which the
object is held was measured. The results were compared with an
on-ground experiment.
