Abstract

Abstract:

Aiming at the problem of applications and development of space tether in space on-orbit servicing, a brief description of the traditional applications and experiments of space tether is made firstly. Then, the research progress of the space tethered robot and the tethered space net is reviewed, including the dynamics modeling, structural design, target measuring and approaching/grasping control, as well as dragging. Finally, the future research interests of space tether are discussed.

Key words: Space tether, On-orbit servicing, Tethered space robot, Tethered space net
