Empirical Model Reduction of Spinning Solar Sail

抄録

The Spinning solar sail is expected to be a future space exploration system. Considering the dynamic deformation of the sail membrane is an indispensable factor in designing the spacecraft. But the mathematical model of the sail membrane is complex. Computational analysis is difficult and time consuming. Therefore this has a negative impact on simulation, design and control problems. The model reduction technique is required to shorten the design period. It is a necessary step in order to put the gossamer structure to practical use. In this presentation, the dynamic property of the square type spinning solar sail is revealed, and the requirements for constructing a reduction model are revealed. Then, empirical model reduction techniques are applied to gossamer structures, and the issue of constructing a low-order model is summarized.
