With the progress of space development, space satellites have provided a lot of benefits such as weather forecast and global positioning system (GPS), which are essential for modern society. On the other hand, space debris such as defunct satellites have increased on orbit in recent years. As a result, in late years a problem of the space debris worsens. Orbital Maintenance System (OMS) is suggested to reduce the number of space debris. An analysis of contact dynamics is a key technology for capturing space debris in OMS. This paper suggests two points contact end-effecter to restrain for tumbling and translation debris. And this paper conducted collision experiments on two-dimensional micro-gravity environment. This paper shows two contact dynamics simulation in two-dimensional micro-gravity environment on the basis of the experimental result, and effectiveness of two point contact end-effecter.
