Über dieses Buch

This book offers a comprehensive overview of recently developed space multi-tethers, such as maneuverable space tethered nets and space tethered formation. For each application, it provides detailed derivatives to describe and analyze the mathematical model of the system, and then discusses the design and proof of different control schemes for various problems. The dynamics modeling presented is based on Newton and Lagrangian mechanics, and the book also introduces Hamilton mechanics and Poincaré surface of section for dynamics analysis, and employs both centralized and distributed controllers to derive the formation question of the multi-tethered system. In addition to the equations and text, it includes 3D design drawings, schematic diagrams, control scheme blocks and tables to make it easy to understand. This book is intended for researchers and graduate students in the fields of astronautics, control science, and engineering.

Chapter 1. Introduction
Abstract
Ever since the concept of the space tether was first proposed by Tsiolkovsky in 1895, it has generated a multitude of possibilities for use in space exploration.

Maneuverable Space Tethered Net

Frontmatter
Chapter 2. Dynamics Modeling and Analysis
Abstract
Since on-orbit service and active space debris removal become popular research subjects in the space technology field, the mechanism design and dynamics and control of space capture operations have seen a great deal of research. There are many teams studying the capturing and removing methods in different countries, and some achievements have been achieved.

Chapter 3. Folding Pattern and Releasing Characteristics
Abstract
The shooting parameters of the TSNR, including the folding pattern, the direction of shooting, and the value of shooting are very important, which influence the performance of system during free-flying phase. To find an appropriate releasing scheme, we will discuss these, respectively.

Chapter 4. Centralized Deployment Control
Abstract
In configuration-keeping phase, the MSTN is an underactuation system in which only four MUs are controllable. All the motions of uncontrollable mass points of the net are treated as a disturbance on the MUs. And the classic Adaptive Super-Twisting Sliding Mode Controller scheme is employed to solve the vibration problem.

Chapter 5. Distributed Deployment Control
Abstract
The TSNR is a typical distributed system with the requirement of synchronization of multi-agent (the Maneuverable Units). Meanwhile, the configurations of the communication subsystem and the sensor subsystem of four MUs are different in practical applications.

Space Tethered Formation

Chapter 6. Dynamics Modeling
Abstract
Research on space robotics [1, 2] has drawn much attention in recent years and tethered space system [35] is one of the current hot spots in the field of space robotics. Space Tethered Formation System is a kind of tethered space system, which presents many attractive and potential advantages in space applications.

Chapter 7. Formation-Keeping Control of the Closed-Chain System
Abstract
The three-body closed-chain system cannot achieve the ideal LP equilibrium state under uncontrolled state, the main reasons are that there are slack and rebound phenomena in the tether between the three spacecraft, which is due to the low rotational rate of the tether system in the initial condition of LP equilibrium and the inability of the tether to withstand the pressure.

Chapter 8. Deployment and Retrieval Control of the Hub-Spoke System
Abstract
The Hub-Spoke Tethered Formation System (HS-TFS) is now a hot issue in many space applications, such as multi-point measurements, providing a flexible frame for solar sail and other membrane or net structures.
Panfeng Huang, Fan Zhang
Chapter 9. Formation-Keeping Control of the Hub–Spoke System
Abstract
The Hub–Spoke System (HSS) is usually a rotating system to acquire specific advantages, such as reduction of fuel consumption, promotion of the formation stability. An ideal Hub–Spoke configuration is necessary when the system is under the rotation motion.
