The invention provides a
spacecraft rendezvous and docking multi-degree-of-freedom semi-physical
simulation method and a device thereof. The device comprises a
machine body, a cross beam, a vertical beam, a three-shaft turntable, a
motion simulation device controller, a GNC
system and a measurement
system. The
machine body is mounted on a ground base. The cross beam is placed on the guide rail of the
machine body. The vertical beam is installed on the guide rail of the cross beam. The three-shaft turntable is installed on a vertical beam guide rail. The
motion simulation device controller, the GNC
system and the measurement system are placed next to a system. Based on a similarity theorem and a scaling ratio criterion, the effective travel range of a
simulation device is determined according to an aircraft actual flight range, and assuming that a scaling parameter is k, according to the actual flight condition of the aircraft, assuming that an aircraft true maximum speed, an acceleration, an angular speed and an
angular acceleration are v[max], a[max],
omega[max], and alpha[max] respectively, the maximum speed, the acceleration, the angular speed and the
angular acceleration of the
simulation device are determined as k*v[max], k*a[max],
omega[max], and alpha[max]. The method and the device have the advantages of a wide application range, a simple structure, and multi
degrees of freedom.
