Deployment and Retrieval of Shuttle Supported Tethered Satellites
Copyright policy )Deployment and Retrieval of Shuttle Supported Tethered Satellites
Summary: The general dynamical model is used to investigate the deployment and retrieval dynamics and control of the tether connected shuttle/subsatellite system. Control of the in-plane motion is provided by letting the difference between the rate of change of the undeformed length of the tether and a commanded length rate vary linearly with the state vector. Successful deployment and retrieval are carried out by judicious selection of commanded length rate and control law gains. It is observed that gains that damp swing oscillations may cause large vibrations. This makes it necessary to simulate the general dynamics in order to evaluate a control strategy.
