本文提出了一种新的方法来清除失控的大型空间碎片，如故障卫星。关于空间机器人捕获空间碎片并使其脱离轨道的研究很多。然而，对于像故障卫星这样的翻滚目标，由于它们的姿态不受控制，并且随着章动而旋转，通常很难捕获。因此，我们提出了一种新的方法来粉碎他们的涡流制动器。涡流制动器可以在没有任何接触的情况下粉碎不受控制的目标。本文介绍了一种直线感应电动机型涡流制动器的设计与研制。为满足无控卫星防翻滚的要求，对研制的涡流制动器进行了试验验证。
This paper proposes a new method to detumble uncontrolled large space debris such as malfunctioning satellites. There are many researches about a space robot capturing and deorbiting space debris. However it is generally very difficult to capture tumbling targets such as the malfunctioning satellites because these targets are out of control in attitude and rotate with nutational motion. Hence we propose a new way to detumble them with an eddy current brake. The eddy current brake can detumble the uncontrolled targets without any contact. In this paper, we describe design and development of a linear induction motor type of eddy current brake. Experimental verification is carried out to verify the performance of the developed eddy current brake in order to fulfill the requirement for detumbling the uncontrolled satellite.
