This invention provides a six-degree-of-freedom simulator for low-gravity landing
cushioning, comprising a landing leg
assembly, a frame, an IMU, an air-bearing
ball bearing, and a connecting column forming an
attitude control platform and a translational platform. Four landing leg assemblies are evenly arranged on the frame. An air-bearing
ball bearing is located in the middle of the frame, with an IMU mounted above it. The lower part of the air-bearing
ball bearing is connected to the translational platform via the connecting column. A control component is also provided on the frame, and the landing leg assemblies and IMU are connected to the control component. The planar
air cushion of the translational platform is used for support on a simulated tilting platform, and the landing leg assemblies act on the simulated landing surface. This invention can
record attitude changes and the force and torque values of the landing legs during landing, and compare the experimental data with
simulation results from a full-
physics simulation test.
