Space grippers are the key devices for accomplishing space non-cooperative target capture, which has a great significance for satellite services and space debris removal. This article proposes a novel mechanical gripper device for the capture of aluminum honeycomb panels of non-cooperative satellites. The gripper was modeled and assembled in the three-dimensional modeling platform UGNX. The model was imported into the simulation software ADAMS. ADAMS is capable of analyzing the kinematic feasibility of the gripper model. Collision and penetrating power analysis of the mechanical claws into an aluminum honeycomb plate were carried out in LS-DYNA. Through non-vertical piercing experiment, the maximum approaching angle tolerance is 10°. The established rigid connection can withstand a destructive force greater than 1000 N. A prototype of the mechanical gripper is built. A ground test was carried out with this prototype, in which a test-platform simulated the space microgravity environment. The results certified that the prototype could reach the target at a relative speed of 0.5 m/s and then quickly complete the grabbing motion and establish a rigid connection. The experiment shows that this mechanical gripper can accomplish the task of repeatedly capturing the surface of non-cooperative space satellites.

Through computer digitization, collecting three-dimensional data information of the target object, and then processing and simulation reproduction through computer technology, plays an important role in logistics engineering (LE). The purpose of this paper is the simulation research of LE based on computer three-dimensional modeling technology. This paper takes LE as the research object, firstly elaborates the functional and non-functional requirements of the system separately, and establishes an intelligent logistics system. This paper uses Flexsim simulation software to establish a logistics distribution simulation model. Based on the data collected in the survey, the model is parameterized. Through the data output from the simulation, the simulation data of the original logistics system and the logistics system designed in this paper are compared and analyzed. The simulation output data shows that the total number of products transported in and out of the warehouse of the original system’s 6 transport planes is 15,559, and the total number of products transported in and out of the warehouse of the 6 transport planes in the logistics system proposed in this paper is 17,144 pieces. It can be seen that this system has strong transportation efficiency in LE.

Modeling Software

The geometric models of the hydraulic turnover device are constructed by using three -dimensional modeling software UG, and then they are induced into simulation software ADAMS by a sharing data format. By using ADAMS, models are further simplified and the virtual prototype is established. By using the associated model, the simulation of the hydraulic turnover device is analyzed in ADAMS. Compared with the traditional methods of using physical prototypes, the movement processes and relevant parameters of the hydraulic turnover device can be effectively obtained by means of this method. Furthermore, the quality of the constraint relations between the parts is very important in terms of the accuracy of the model simulation analysis. This simulation results accord with the practical situation, which indicates that the operation is stable and the efficiency is high. It provides a theoretical basis for the practical design of the hydraulic turnover device, which shows that the combination of ADAMS and UG works well.

The square checkerboard buckling deformation appearing in indium antimonide infrared focal-plane arrays (InSb IRFPAs) subjected to the thermal shock tests, results in the fracturing of the InSb chip, which restricts its final yield. In light of the proposed three-dimensional modeling, we proposed the method of thinning a silicon readout integrated circuit (ROIC) to level the uneven top surface of InSb IRFPAs. Simulation results show that when the silicon ROIC is thinned from 300 μm to 20 μm, the maximal displacement in the InSb IRFPAs linearly decreases from 7.115 μm to 0.670 μm in the upward direction, and also decreases linearly from 14.013 μm to 1.612 μm in the downward direction. Once the thickness of the silicon ROIC is less than 50 μm, the square checkerboard buckling deformation distribution presenting in the thicker InSb IRFPAs disappears, and the top surface of the InSb IRFPAs becomes flat. All these findings imply that the thickness of the silicon ROIC determines the degree of deformation in the InSb IRFPAs under a thermal shock test, that the method of thinning a silicon ROIC is suitable for decreasing the fracture probability of the InSb chip, and that this approach improves the reliability of InSb IRFPAs.
