At the Samara National Research University named after Academician S.P. Korolev (Samara University), a mathematical model was created for controlling a group of satellites connected by cables. This was reported in the press service of the university.
A rotating cable system is a connection of two spacecraft operating as a "space sling". At the same time, their center of mass moves in a given orbit.
Usually, such a system consists of a main satellite and a sub-satellite connected by a strong cable tens of kilometers long. Such devices open up opportunities for performing tasks that cannot be solved using traditional space technology.
The main advantage is that the new model made it possible to obtain control laws for electric motors in an analytical form in order to transfer the system into rotation and parry various disturbances. This will allow us to create a real space system faster.
Research has shown that the system can provide an orientation accuracy of less than one thousandth of a radian, which is equivalent to less than 0.05 degrees. In the future, it is planned to create a real space system capable of effectively removing space debris from orbit.
Earlier, www1.ru reported that the launch of four satellites has been postponed to the end of 2025.
