Abstract
Today, there are many satellites which are not in operation in orbit. Failure causes of these satellites are various, and we do not understand about them well enough. Therefore, in situ inspection of the failure cause of the satellite is very important for the future satellite development. A satellite which explores failure satellites and removes them from orbit has been proposed. The method of docking with failure satellite is simple: Firing a metal anchor to satellite structure and docking with this satellite structure. However, the impact of lodging an anchor may cause other failure of the satellite. So, in this research, we conducted experiment and the impact was evaluated through SRS analysis.
