Embodiment

[0055] Embodiment: Taking a three-unit cube star as an example

[0056] combine Figure 1~Figure 11 , a micro-nano-satellite braking sail de-orbiting device, used for the de-orbiting of cubesats, to prevent them from becoming space debris after completing their missions. The micro-nano-satellite braking sail de-orbiting device is installed at the bottom of the cubesat, occupying 1.5U of space of the cubesat. It includes a sail storage device, a sail unfolding device 32 and an unlocking device 33 arranged sequentially from top to bottom.

[0057] The sail storage device includes a sail storage chamber 29, a film sail 34 and lugs 31, the sail storage chamber 29 is a cuboid structure, and four trapezoidal grooves 30 are respectively opened on four sides for storing the film sail 34, while each groove bottom Both are provided with two through holes, and a corner of the membrane sail 34 is fixed in the said through hole; Fastened sideways.

[0058] The sail unfolding device 32 ...

Abstract

The invention discloses a deorbiting device for a micro / nano satellite. The deorbiting device for the micro / nano satellite comprises a sail storing device, a sail unfolding device and an unlocking device, wherein the sail unfolding device is of a centrosymmetric structure, and comprises an upper end cover, a lower end cover, a clack-shaped central shaft, two ring flanges, two strip elastic masts, four supporting prisms, four pairs of pilot sleeves, four hold-down mechanisms and four leaf springs. After a ground command is received, the unlocking device releases the clack-shaped central shaft of the sail unfolding device; the strip elastic masts wound on the clack-shaped central shaft drive a thin-film sail, which is stored in a sail storing chamber, to unfold through releasing elastic potential energy stored by the strip elastic masts. According to the deorbiting device for the micro / nano satellite, the normal sectional area, in which a satellite moves, is increased by utilizing the unfolding of the thin-film sail, the effect of atmospheric drag perturbation on the micro / nano satellite is enhanced, and thus, the passive deorbiting of the micro / nano satellite is prompted.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of spacecraft de-orbiting, and in particular relates to a micro-nano satellite braking sail de-orbiting device. Background technique [0002] Since the first artificial earth satellite was launched by human beings, space technology has made great achievements and developed rapidly, but at the same time, it has also caused a large number of space debris to remain in the near-Earth space for a long time, and these increasing numbers of space debris have affected Human normal space activities. So far, humans have carried out more than 5,000 spacecraft launches, and more than 200 on-orbit spacecraft or rocket carrier explosion / impact events have occurred, and a large amount of space debris has also been generated. The most obvious example is the space collision between the abandoned Soviet satellite Kosmos-2251 and the American satellite Iridium-33 in 2009. [0003] The existence of space debris seriously threatens the ...
