Abstract

A ground-base simulation system for the spacecraft docking by using the hardware-in-the loop simulation with electro-hydraulic driven parallel platform is introduced. In particular, simulation of on-orbit docking process of a chaser and target vehicles to test the capability of the docking mechanisms is targeted. Principle and components of the simulation system are presented in detail. The relative motion during the buffering process after docking contact of two vehicles is simplified and modeled in decoupled degree. The stability of the simulation system on one degree is analyzed. Some beneficial conclusions, which can be used in designing docking mechanisms, are obtained.
