Embodiment
[0039] A method for adjusting the direction of the thruster to point to the center of mass of the combined spacecraft. Two thruster combination devices 3 with universal joints are installed at both ends of the mast 4, and the mast 4 is connected to the tracking spacecraft body. Two symmetrical thrusters that can be driven by universal joints are installed on the thruster combination device. The initial jet direction of the adjustable thruster points to the center of mass of the tracking spacecraft. By identifying the position of the center of mass of the combined spacecraft online, the deviation of the center of mass between the tracking spacecraft and the combined spacecraft is calculated. The universal joint is driven by a brushless DC motor. Driving the DC motor turns the gimbal, thereby reorienting the thrusters so that they are pointing back to the center of mass of the assembly.
[0040] The method for adjusting the direction of the thruster by the universal joint is as ...
