Bionic spider web for on-orbit capture and storage method thereof

Abstract

The invention provides a bionic cobweb for capturing in orbit and its holding method. The bionic cobweb for capturing in orbit takes a hollow rope as a radial line; multiple holding cabins for holding side contour lines or inner contour lines are arranged in the bionic cobweb. Thus the holding of the bionic cobweb can be realized under the condition of not increasing other structures.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of on-orbit capture and packaging, in particular to a bionic spider web for on-orbit capture and a storage method thereof. Background technique [0002] With the development of space technology, it is becoming more and more important to capture non-cooperative targets such as space debris and abandoned satellites on-orbit. Among them, the flying net capture mainly uses the flying net deployment mechanism to launch a large net made of thin ropes towards the capture target, and after wrapping the target spacecraft, retract or control the target spacecraft. The flying net has a large interception area, which can cover and capture the target more easily. The flying net capture also has a certain fault tolerance during use, and the use of flying nets for space capture has high security and reliability. Due to the high cost and high risk of space missions, a large number of ground tests are required to determine ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, due to the flying nets in the prior art are prone to entanglement, passing through and knotting during the working process, the flying nets cannot be opened.

At the same time, the existing flying nets have problems such as rope breaks that are prone to occur during the collision with the target, causing the target to detach from the flying net. Therefore, a more reliable flying net configuration and packaging technology are urgently needed to solve these problems.
