APPLICATION OF THE PROCESSES KINEMATIC SUPPORT AND KINEMATIC GRIP IN WEIGHTLESS CONDITIONS

Abstract

The space industry is increasingly developing its branches in our time. The enormous wealth that the Universe offers is changing people's perception of the category of "wealth". The need for new activities in space imposes new challenges to the designs of spacecraft and their functionality. The space industry will begin with contact, that is, landing, capture and manipulation of small space objects (asteroids). The ability to apply and control the physical processes and phenomena during contact of two bodies in space is of paramount importance for the capture and manipulation of various space objects. In this material, only the physical processes of support and capture will be considered. The connection of robotics and astronautics provides solutions to a number of constructive issues in the kinematic synthesis of future spacecraft intended for the space industry.
