Abstract

As a new space engineering, Space Tether System (STS) provides an economical and applicable solution for the deorbit of space debris with its advantages of economy and reuse. This paper proposes a new method of STS deorbit with parameter optimization. Based on the theory of Lagrange mechanics, the dynamic model of STS during the deorbit process is first deduced. Then, the equations of the dynamic model are simplified according to the actual situation. Based the thrust of the plasma rocket, the method of STS deorbit with parameter optimization is designed. Considering the swing caused by the thrust during the deorbit process, controller is designed to suppress the swing to avoid the risks and make it sure that space debris could be safely transferred.
