1A2-L05 Hybrid simulator of H-II Transfer Vehicle capturing by Space Station Remote Manipulator System(Space Robotics and Mecahtoronics)

Abstract

In orbital work like a capturing a target in space, a safety must be guaranteed at all times. In order to capture a target automatically, it is essential to figure out the behavior of target after contact. At first, we clarify the dangerous condition of contact by analyzing the behavior. The goal of this study is to propose the way of safe caputuring with consideration for the condition. This paper describes the capturing simulator for analyzing the behavior of target, especially the mission for capturing H-II Transfer Vehicle(HTV) by Space Station Remote Manipulator System(SSRMS).
