Abstract

The invention relates to a satellite-borne flat plate type antenna gravity unloading device and method in the field of spaceflight satellites, the satellite-borne flat plate type antenna gravity unloading device comprises a gantry frame and a steel wire winding device, the top of the gantry frame is rotationally connected with the steel wire winding device for adjusting suspension tension, and the steel wire winding device lifts a flat plate type antenna to be subjected to an unfolding test to enable the flat plate type antenna to keep gravity balance. According to the invention, the influence of earth gravity on the flat plate type antenna is eliminated through a cantilever frame gravity unloading method under the condition that the structural forms of the flat plate type antenna and the unfolding mechanism thereof are not changed and the system characteristics of an on-satellite unfolding controller are not changed, and the working environment of the flat plate type antenna under the condition of space weightlessness can be simulated.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of aerospace satellites, in particular to a gravity unloading device and method for a flat panel antenna onboard. In particular, a gravity unloading device and method for a mobile gantry-type satellite-borne flat-panel antenna. Background technique [0002] In order to ensure that the space-borne flat-panel antenna can be normally deployed and locked after the satellite is launched into orbit, it is necessary to simulate the deployment function of the flat-panel antenna in the on-orbit weightlessness environment on the ground, and then verify the working performance of the flat-panel antenna. Space-borne flat-panel antennas generally have the characteristics of large size, heavy weight, and high precision of the unfolding mechanism. In order to adapt to the envelope limit of the launch vehicle fairing, the space-borne flat-panel antenna is generally folded and compressed on the side of the satellite star through the u...
