Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a mechanical arm system planning and control method, belonging to the technical field of aerospace ground simulation experiments. Background Art

[0002] With the development of human space science and technology, the scale of space exploration missions has been increasing. At the same time, the number of failed satellites has increased dramatically. These satellites have occupied limited orbital resources and seriously affected the safe operation of normal satellites.

[0003] A failed satellite has no external torque in space, and its angular momentum axis remains constant. However, most satellites have residual angular velocity, forming a tumbling state of spin-coupled nutation superimposed precession, that is, the satellite rotates around the principal axis of inertia, the principal axis of inertia precesses around the momentum axis, and at the same time the nutation angle formed by the principal axis of inertia and the momentum axis will shake slightly.

[0004] This complex motion state of the failed target poses a huge challenge to the on-orbit service mission. Simulating the tumbling motion of a failed satellite can provide a deep understanding of the dynamic characteristics of the target satellite. Its motion information is the basis for the service vehicle to formulate rendezvous, capture and operation strategies, which directly affects the success rate and reliability of the mission. Therefore, designing a ground device and method to simulate the tumbling motion of a failed satellite is of great significance for the reliable implementation of the on-orbit service mission.
