Abstract
Next-generation lunar/planetary exploration spacecraft need to solve problems of conventional landing methods and mechanisms such as high rebound, impossibility of reuse and high cost. For this purpose, the authors discuss the landing method by means of Base-Extension Separation landing Mechanism (BESM) which uses energy conversion with springs and separable units. In the authors' conventional studies, its effectiveness was confirmed for a simple case based on single-axis restriction. However, the investigation of tumble prevention cannot be treated in the simple case. The purpose of this preliminary report is the response analysis of a slope landing case of BESM for more practical landing situations.
