[0003] Currently, landing on asteroids is the most direct and effective way to study them. However, in actual missions, due to the weak gravitational environment and irregular surface of asteroids, traditional rigid probes are prone to bounce, escape, and capsizing, leading to mission failure. Furthermore, the information we currently possess about asteroid surfaces is very limited, making it difficult for probes to determine a sufficiently flat landing site and to move extensively after landing, further contributing to mission failure. Summary of the Invention

[0054] This invention proposes a three-node flexible detector and its dynamic modeling method. The invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0055] A first aspect of this invention provides a three-node flexible probe, comprising: a flexible connecting structure, and three rigid nodes of identical size embedded in the flexible connecting structure and rotationally symmetrical with respect to the probe's center; the height of each rigid node is equal to the distance between the upper and lower bottom surfaces of the flexible connecting structure. The flexible connecting structure connects the three rigid nodes and acts as a buffer during the probe's landing on an asteroid to prevent it from bouncing off. The rigid nodes house easily damaged equipment such as payloads, gas tanks, and jet ducts, providing control forces and control torques to the probe and protecting the equipment used for exploration.
[0056] It should be noted that each node can carry different payloads or detection devices. To ensure the overall symmetry of the detector, the weight and moment of inertia of the three nodes must be the same.
[0057] In one specific embodiment of the present invention, the overall structure of the three-node flexible detector is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the flexible connection structure specifically consists of two disks with a diameter of 2m and a thickness of 5mm, and a semi-circular ring with an inner diameter of 2m, an outer diameter of 2.8m, and a thickness of 5mm. The disks respectively form the upper and lower bottom surfaces of the semi-circular ring, and the distance between the upper and lower surfaces is 0.4m. The flexible connection structure connects three rigid nodes that are rotationally symmetrical with respect to the center of the detector, denoted as node ①, node ②, and node ③. It should be noted that the shape and size of the flexible connection structure can be modified according to the specific detection task, such as proportionally enlarging or changing to a cube shape. The material of the flexible connection structure can be selected from materials with low Young's modulus, such as vulcanized rubber and silicone rubber. In this embodiment, silicone rubber is used as the flexible connection material. In this embodiment, the three rigid nodes are all rigid hexagonal prisms with a height of 0.4m and a side length of 0.2m, distributed rotationally symmetrically with respect to the center of the detector, and each rigid node is 0.6m away from the center of the detector. The flexible connection structure is connected to the sides of the three rigid nodes by rubber adhesive. The shape and size of the rigid nodes can be modified according to the specific detection mission, but they must be prism-shaped, such as a quadrangular prism or a pentagonal prism, and the three nodes must have the same shape.
[0058] In one specific embodiment of the present invention, the three-node flexible detector and its node cross-sectional view are as follows: Figure 2 As shown, each node has the same structure, including a rigid shell, a gas tank, and a jet duct. In this embodiment, the rigid shell is a hexagonal prism shell with a wall thickness of more than 2 mm. A connecting frame is embedded in the middle of the rigid shell to fix the gas tank at the center of the rigid node. The connecting frame is integral with the rigid shell, and the gas tank and the connecting frame are fixed by welding. The gas tank is a hollow sphere, and its specific size and volume can be adjusted according to the control requirements of the deep space exploration mission. A jet duct is connected to the upper and lower poles of the gas tank, and the two jet ducts penetrate vertically through the upper and lower bottom surfaces of the rigid shell, respectively. The gas tank and the jet duct are connected by welding, and the rigid shell and the jet duct are connected by welding.
[0059] In one specific embodiment of the present invention, the rigid outer shell material of each node is an impact-resistant alloy material, such as any one of steel alloy, aluminum alloy, or magnesium alloy. In this embodiment, 16Mn steel alloy is used to protect the payload, gas tank, and jet duct. The gas tank material inside the node is a lightweight alloy material, such as any one of steel alloy, aluminum alloy, or magnesium alloy. In this embodiment, 1A95 aluminum alloy is used to store high-pressure gas, such as 10MPa high-pressure nitrogen, which provides control force and control torque during the landing of the three-node flexible probe. The jet duct material of the node can be any one of steel alloy, aluminum alloy, or magnesium alloy. In this embodiment, 16Mn steel alloy is used. The jet duct is used to exhaust the high-pressure gas stored in the gas tank. Furthermore, the remaining space in the node can also be used to install payloads such as radar, communication equipment, and sampling devices for asteroid exploration.

A schematic diagram of the flexible connection structure after triangular element division is shown in a specific embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 As shown.

Let n0 and n1 represent the unit normal vectors of triangular elements f0 and f1, respectively. f0 and A f1 Let θ represent the areas of triangular units f0 and f1, respectively. e This represents the angle between n0 and n1 after deformation. This represents the angle between n0 and n1 before deformation. This represents the rate of change of the angle between n0 and n1 at the current moment, and e0 represents the length of the common side x0x1 after deformation. α represents the length of x0x1 before deformation. 01 Let α represent the angle between sides x0x1 and x0x2. 02 Let α represent the angle between sides x0x1 and x0x3. 03 Let α represent the angle between x0x1 and x1x2. 04 Let x0x1 and x1x3 be the edges. in Let f0 be the height of the triangular element relative to side x0x1.

This represents the sum of all tensile internal forces acting at the i-th vertex. This represents the sum of all bending internal forces at the i-th vertex, which is obtained through step 2).
[0091] 3-3) Apply rigid constraints to the vertices at the locations occupied by nodes on the surface of the flexible connection structure;
