Abstract:The problem of detumbling a tethered space robot-target combination system after the target is captured by the tethered space robot (TSR) is studied in this paper. Firstly, the dynamic model of the combination system is established. In order to stabilize the combination, the space tether is utilized to control the attitude. The configuration of the manipulator is designed to change the control torques provided by the space tether so as to achieve a better control performance. The solution of the optimal contro… Show more
