Abstract
The aerospace industry continues to progress and develop. The waste left in space by human beings in space activities has lost its attitude adjustment ability and been turned into space junk. This not only causes a waste of orbital resources, but also spacecraft collisions, which could cause the mission to fail. In this paper, the problem of detumbling in the process of capturing noncooperative targets is studied, a set of multi-wheel arm test platform is designed, and a model is built, aiming to complete detumbling for low-speed rotating targets to recycle. Finally, the experimental results show that the performance and function test of the platform have a good effect on the problem of detumbling. This multi-wheel arm test platform is an effective and feasible method for the detumbling of noncooperative targets.
