Ground-based Air Bearing Platform for Satellite Simulation

From a Key Research and Development Programme of the National Natural Science Foundation of China

Oct, 2021 - Jun, 2023

Aims: To build a ground-based experimental system for a variety of satellite objects, such as single satellite, tethered space robot, triangle tethered formation system, etc., to further validate the control algorithms proposed by the group.

System:

Measuring and Control Flowchart.

Contribution:

  • Designed a measuring system for the air bearing table, a control system for satellite simulators, and a tether stabilization release and recovery control system, completing serial communications between different ground experimental systems.
  • Conducted ground experiments to validate various formation control schemes of space rigid-flexible robots.
