Abstract

This paper investigates the model and nonlinear dynamic characteristic of a three-body tethered satellite system in three-dimensional. A novel dynamic model was derived by applying Newton’s Second Law and a comparison of this new model with other model formed by the Lagrange equation verified the effectivity of the proposed model. Owing to the physical meaning of each part of the dynamics equations, the out-plane dynamic performances of the system were investigated and analysed. Results show that parts of libration energy deliver from out-plane to in-plane, while libration energy do not transfer from in-plane motion to out-plane motion. Finally, a deployment strategy was proposed to suppress the libration motion during the phase of tether expansion. Furthermore, simulation results were presented to show effectiveness and efficiency of the method.
