Oscillations of a Spacecraft with a Vertical Elastic Tether

Abstract: The motion about a centre of mass of a spacecraft with a vertical elastic tethered system under the action of the gravitational moment and small periodic tethered force at a circular orbit is studied. The mathematical model is derived using Lagrange's equations including tether vibrations and oscillations of the spacecraft relatively of the proper mass center. The paper contains bifurcation analysis, phase space study, and analytic solutions for separatrixes. The considered mechanical system performs chaotic m… Show more

“…In this model, satellites are free to undergo three dimensional attitude motions. In [26] oscillation of the main satellite due to tether is studied, but it is assumed that the mass of sub-satellite, i.e. the satellite which is attached to the main satellite through a tether, is negligible and center of gravity of the whole system is approximated with the center of gravity of the main satellite.…”
