Abstract: To study the dynamic behavior of the extendible support structure deployment, a digital simulation using the multibody system dynamics methodology is conducted. Floating frame of reference formulations are used to establish the flexible dynamics model, in which the deformation vector of each flexible part is modeled with the component mode synthesis technique based on the Craig-Bampton method. Modal truncation is implemented through modal participation factors to reduce the computational burden. Angular displacements results of antenna panels as well as those of truss rods are then obtained and show that all parts of the structure have reached accurate positions and keep stable after deployment as expected. Start torque of the driving motor is also acquired and proved acceptable according to the design requirements. Impact forces acting on the hinges at locking moment are finally extracted to evaluate performances of locking processes.

Abstract: Remote sensing satellites equipped with large synthetic aperture radar (SAR) can image the earth in all weather and lighting conditions. For high packaging efficiency in launch and precise configuration on orbit, deployable mechanisms are designed to deploy the large SAR antenna panels. For the two-panel antenna, a six-bar-linkage deployable driving mechanism is designed. According to the design, a parameterized dynamic model is built in ADAMS software with secondary development technology to obtain its dynamics characteristics through simulation analysis. To improve the dynamic characteristics and the precision of deployment design of experiments and optimizations were carried through in this paper.
