Child-mother satellite space debris clearing platform and clearing method

Abstract

The invention discloses a child-mother satellite space debris clearing platform. The child-mother satellite space debris clearing platform includes a plurality of child satellites for clearing space debris; each child satellite is detachably connected the same mother satellite; the mother satellite is used for driving the child satellites to move among a multiple pieces of space debris; a space debris clearing device is arranged on each child satellite; and each space debris clearing device includes a child measurement device for measuring a pose of the space debris and a child satellite capturing device. A microsatellite is used as the mother satellite, and a plurality of micro-nano satellites are used as the child satellites; operations such as orbit transferring, closing and detailed survey, and capturing and de-orbiting can be completed coordinately; the child-mother satellite space debris clearing platform is low in cost, is fast in response speed, and is high in reliability; after the child satellites are released, the combined space debris observation network can acquire accurate debris pose information through coordinate observation; and the child satellites can independently complete de-orbiting operations, the mother satellite can directly go to next space debris to be cleared, time and energy can be saved, the benefits of space debris clearing can be increased, and the cost is reduced.

Description

[0001] 【Technical field】 [0002] The invention belongs to the technical field of aerospace, and in particular relates to a space debris removal platform and a removal method of the parent and child satellites. [0003] 【Background technique】 [0004] In a broad sense, space debris can be divided into two types: Micrometeoroid and Space / Orbital Debris, and the operating area of ​​artificial space debris coincides with the operating area of ​​the orbiting service spacecraft, causing huge damage to human space exploration. Obstacles have attracted widespread attention. Because low-Earth orbit is the easiest to develop and has a wide range of uses, the number of available orbits continues to decrease, the satellite space density has reached a warning value, and unpredictable space collisions have begun to occur, so it is imperative to protect low-Earth orbit resources from space debris. [0005] According to the use of low-Earth orbit by humans in recent decades, from the first a...
