Research on Design and Structure Dynamics of Variable Topology-Transformable Spacecraft

Publication: Earth and Space 2010: Engineering, Science, Construction, and Operations in Challenging Environments

Abstract

Based on analysis of the designing methodology of traditional spacecraft and various reconfigurable structures, the designing methods of variable topology-transformable spacecraft and main parts of the processing of research are put forward. Aiming to extend the mission of space vehicle, three designing methods of variable topology-transformable spacecraft are established. The CADs of two designing methods are also worked out as well. The methodology of design and structure dynamics of variable topology-transformable spacecraft is also outlined in this paper.
