Project ΣVII is capable of completing the majority of the tasks put forth by MATE with the aid of its 24 Volts DC powered manipulator. The manipulator consists of a series of water jetted gears and a worm drive. It operates via a high-torque planetary gear motor. The worm gear sets the other gears in motion, and forces the manipulator open and closed in a parallel motion. The manipulator is essential for the transportation of the various components of the cabled observatory, as well as the delicate removal of biofouling.
