The trial manufacture and test of critical components in docking mechanism
Abstract
An overview of the trial manufacture and test of critical elements for rendezvous and docking mechanism is presented. The following aspects of the research and development are outlined: (1) overall scheme of the research and development; (2) progress of the research and development from FY (Fiscal Year) 1976 through FY 1991; (3) the trial manufacture and test of critical elements, including the system design, design studies on mechanism section and driving circuit, the manufacture and test, docking mechanism system test, and simulation analysis; and (4) docking mechanism for ETS-7 (Engineering Test Satellite-7), including development specifications for ETS-7 docking mechanism, study on the development program and schedule, and microgravity simulation test equipment.
