Abstract
Based on the modular design idea of spacecraft structure, a new modular structure form which can depoly on-orbit was designed, that is the deployable spacecraft configuration drived by gear and rock mechanism. By using virtual prototyping technology, the virtual prototyping models of modular noumenon and solar sail were established in ADAMS. First of all, it was simulated that the modular noumenon was deplayed in varied speeds, and the influences on attitude angle and attitude angle velocity were obtained. Then three kinds of depoyed sequences of modular noumenon and solar sail were simulated as follows: modular noumenon and solar sail were deployed simultaneously, modular noumenon deployed after solar sail and solar sail deployed after modular noumenon. The influences on attitude angle and attitude angle velocity were obtained and analyzed. The simulation result can provide enlighten and reference for the future high-mobility, multi-pattern, multi-purpose modular spacecraft design, depolyment on-orbit technology and attitude control in space.
