Abstract:

The hardware in the loop (HIL) ground experiment simulator for on-orbit docking plays a very important role in some research fields. These fields include the research on spacecraft docking/berthing, the testing of docking/berthing mechanism, the problems reappearing of docking/berthing maneuvers and so on. This paper presents a new idea of the ground experiment simulation for on-orbit docking. The dynamic model for spacecraft docking for the HIL simulator is established.
