The design, analysis, and test of the integrated device for the launch adapter and the resettable orbital deployer are presented in this paper. This integrated device contains both functions of the single-use launch adapter and the resettable orbital deployer. Two types of release mechanisms are combined. The four-bar linkage mechanism is applied in the single-use adapter function. This release mechanism provides sufficient strength of connection in the launch stage and is released when entering the orbit. The electromagnetic hook mechanism is applied in the resettable orbital deployer. The deployer can be reloaded by the manipulator on the mother satellite with picosatellites taken out from the cargo to deploy multiple times. Dynamics simulation, finite element simulation, as well as the prototype test verify the preliminary feasibility of this design.

This paper investigates the issue of robust relative orbit synchronization control for spacecraft cluster subjects to space perturbation. First, the relative orbit dynamics of the leader-follower spacecraft cluster is established. Combined with P-type learning algorithm and sliding mode control (SMC) strategy, a novel distributed learning SMC (LSMC) strategy with the consensus algorithm is explored such that all the follower spacecrafts converge to the target relative position and their velocities tend to the leader spacecraft. The distributed P-type learning algorithm is used to update and compensate space perturbation for all the follower spacecrafts. The proposed LSMC approach has the potential to achieve higher control accuracy than the traditional SMC one while it has the lower computation burden than the distributed adaptive SMC one. The stability analysis of the proposed distributed LSMC strategy is provided in detail. Finally, a numerical example is simulated to illustrate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed distributed LSMC-based relative orbit synchronization control for spacecraft cluster.
