Visual Modeling and Simulation Research of a Kind of On-Orbit Servicing Spacecraft
Year: 2014
Type: article
Abstract: On-orbit servicing technology is a novel aerospace technology, which has important economic and military value. Reference to two on-orbit servicing programs named Orbital Express and Phoenix, the paper provides visual modeling and on-orbit module replacement simulation approach for a type of spacecraft based on satellite tool kit (STK). A kind of universal method for STK model building is presented, which includes multi-software model transformation and manual encoding. Some key problems about model integration and post processing, that helps complex STK model building, has also been summarized. An on-orbit replacement task simulation system based on co-simulation of MATLAB and STK can provide effective technical support for the aerospace program.
