Spaceship connection system

Abstract

The invention relates to space equipment, in particular, to a spacecraft docking system. The proposed design is used as a guidance and propulsion system on a moving platform of an active manipulator of a spacecraft during docking. The essence of the invention is that in the docking system of spacecraft consisting of an active and passive part and their components, according to the invention, the moving platform of the active manipulator is connected to the support part by three kinematic chains, each kinematic chain consists of seven joints, one spherical joint and nine rotational joints, the main element of which is a rhombus-shaped structure formed by two equilateral dyads, which, provides the formation of two closed plane contours within a chain, which creates a kinematic system in the manipulator as a whole that includes 6 plane contours with parameters λi=3 and two spatial contours with parameters λi=6, and provides a damping effect at the moment of connection.
