拴住的卫星系统(TSS ) 的概念答应革命化空间探索和利用的许多方面。它提供不仅众多的可能、珍贵的应用程序,而且与他们的动力学,控制,和物理实现有关的挑战性、有趣的问题。在过去的十年,这个令人激动的话题从许多研究人员吸引了重要注意并且与动力学和控制的二个必要方面的一个焦点获得了分析、数字、试验性的成就的一个广阔数字。这篇评论文章介绍历史性的背景和最近的热话题因为空间拴住,并且以一种进步方式介绍 TSS 的动力学和控制给最先进的成就,从基本操作原则。
The concept of tethered satellite system (TSS) promises to revolutionize many aspects of space exploration and exploitation. It provides not only numerous possible and valuable applications, but also challenging and interesting problems related to their dynamics, control, and physical implementation. Over the past decades, this exciting topic has attracted significant attention from many researchers and gained a vast number of analytical, numerical and experimental achievements with a focus on the two essential aspects of both dynamics and control. This review article presents the historic background and recent hot topics for the space tethers, and introduces the dynamics and control of TSSs in a progressive manner, from basic operating principles to the state-of-the-art achievements.
