Signed: Date: 15.10.2014 i Abstract Docking mechanism of two spacecraft is considered as one of the main challenging as- pects of an on-orbit servicing mission. This thesis presents the modeling, analysis and software simulation of one of the docking mechanisms called "probe and drogue". The aim of this thesis is to model the docking mechanism, simulate the docking process and use the results as a reference for the Hardware-In-the-Loop simulation (HIL) of the docking mechanism, in order to verify and validate it.

  • ISS Interface Mechanisms and Their Lineage
    ISS Interface Mechanisms and their Heritage The International Space Station, by nurturing technological development of a variety of pressurized and unpressurized interface mechanisms fosters “competition at the technology level”. Such redundancy and diversity allows for the development and testing of mechanisms that might be used for future exploration efforts. The International Space Station, as a test-bed for exploration, has 4 types of pressurized interfaces between elements and 6 unpressurized attachment mechanisms. Lessons learned from the design, test and operations of these mechanisms will help inform the design for a new international standard pressurized docking mechanism for the NASA Docking System. This paper will examine the attachment mechanisms on the ISS and their attributes. It will also look ahead at the new NASA docking system and trace its lineage to heritage mechanisms.

  • Automated Rendezvous and Docking of Spacecraft (Cambridge
    This page intentionally left blank Automated Rendezvous and Docking of Spacecraft The definitive reference for space engineers on all issues related to rendezvous and docking/berthing (RVD/B), Automated Rendezvous and Docking of Spacecraft answers keyquestions such as: • How does the docking vehicle accuratelyapproach the target spacecraft? • What technologyis needed aboard the spacecraft to perform au- tomatic rendezvous and docking, and what systems are required byground control to supervise this process? • How can the proper functioning of all rendezvous related equip- ment, systems and operations be verified before launch? The book provides an overview of the major issues governing approach and mating strategies, and system concepts for rendezvous and docking/berthing. These issues are described and explained such that aerospace engineers, students and even newcomers to the field can acquire a basic understanding of RVD/B.

  • CENTER SERIES DOCKING and RENDEZVOUS Inventory
    DOCKING AND RENDEZVOUS Rev Date:5/9/2000 Section 093 CENTER SERIES DOCKING AND RENDEZVOUS This subseries consists of documents related to the design and operation of orbital docking mechanisms for spacecraft rendezvous. This includes correspondence, contractor reports, design notes, and other materials related to Apollo, Skylab, Space Shuttle, and Space Station docking technology. In addition, the subseries includes information on international docking systems (with emphasis on the Soviet Salyut spacecraft). Of particular interest is a large group of materials from the early 1960's on the subject of Lunar Orbital Rendezvous. They originate with the papers of John C. Houbolt, D. Brainerd Holmes, and John Eggleston. The documents are dated from 1960 through 1988 and were collected by Mark Clark in the course of research for a historical thesis on docking technology. (A copy of the completed paper is included in the series.) Material is arranged chronologically. Reports are filed separately from the correspondence.

    COMMITTEE ON SCIENCE, SPACE, AND TECHNOLOGY U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES HEARING CHARTER “The Legacy of Apollo” Tuesday, July 16, 2019 10:00 AM 2318 Rayburn House Office Building PURPOSE The purpose of the hearing is to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 Moon landing. WITNESSES • Mr. Charles Fishman, author of One Giant Leap: The Impossible Mission That Flew Us to the Moon1 • Dr. David W. Miller, Vice President and Chief Technology Officer, The Aerospace Corporation • Dr. Peter Jakab, Chief Curator, Smithsonian Air and Space Museum OVERARCHING QUESTIONS • What events and factors led to the decision to pursue the Moon landing and the Apollo program? • What is the legacy of Apollo? • What scientific and technological advancements did the Apollo program enable? BACKGROUND On October 4, 1957, the Soviet Union launched Sputnik 1, humanity’s first artificial satellite. The Soviets followed Sputnik 1 by launching the first animal, a dog named Laika, into space on board Sputnik 2. The United States launched its first satellite, Explorer I, on January 31, 1958, which contained scientific instrumentation and led to the discovery of the Van Allen radiation belts. The “Space Race” had begun. Later in 1958, Congress passed, and President Eisenhower signed, the National Aeronautics and Space Act, establishing the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) from the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics.2 1 Charles Fishman, One Giant Leap: The Impossible Mission That Flew Us to the Moon, Simon and Schuster, 2019. 2 Pub.
