Deployment simulation research of new spinning space web

Abstract

For capturing large space debris and other non-cooperative targets, a new double rotational space web system is proposed in this paper, and the deployment process of space web system is analyzed with kinematic modeling methods. After explaining the design of the rotational web system and folding, unfolding strategies, a simplified kinematic model of the space web system is established to simulate the first stage of the rotational web deployment by the macro command in ADAMS, which focus on the modeling and coiling of the flexible tether, and the influence of space web deployment about the angular velocity and mass of the central rigid body, the mass of corner masses. Kinematic simulation results show that the spinning space web can deploy successfully and stably in the first stage by applying appropriate kinematic parameters, and the displacement out of the plane is very small
