This project entitled «Three-Dimensional Backscatter X-ray Imaging System for Space Structure Non-destructive Testing » consists of developing a Three-dimensional Backscatter X-ray Imaging System (TBX) that would allow the fast and accurate robotic inspection of large space structures. Since satellites, space vehicles andthe International Space Station (ISS), face many threats each day from space debris, this technology would enable the monitoring of their external shells or solar panels, contributing to extending their operational lifetime. The TBX could be readily integrated onto the Canadarm2 or any future robotic manipulators.
