Equipment Design for Lunar Lander Landing-Impact Test
نویسندگان
چکیده
Abstract—In order to verify the performance of lunar lander structure, landing-impact test is urgently needed. And the test equipment is necessary for the test. The functions and the key points of the equipment are presented to satisfy the requirements of the test, and the design scheme is proposed. The composition, the major function and the critical parts’ design of the equipment are introduced. By the load test of releasing device and single-beam hoist, and the compatibility test of landing-impact testing system, the rationality and reliability of the equipment is proved.

Developing Lunar Access 1 Running head: SPACECRAFT DESIGN REQUIREMENTS VIA CONTENT ANALYSIS Developing Lunar Landing Vehicle Display Requirements through Content Analysis of Apollo Lunar Landing Voice Communications
The lengthy period since the Apollo landings limits present-day engineers attempting to draw from the experiences of veteran Apollo engineers and astronauts in the design of a new lunar lander. In order to circumvent these limitations, content analyses were performed on the voice transcripts of the Apollo lunar landing missions. The analyses highlighted numerous inefficiencies in the design of ...
متن کاملDesign and Simulation of Lunar Soft Lander
In this paper, dynamic simulation and analysis for designing the soft landing of a lunar lander is focused. The primary objective of the lunar lander is to land safely on the surface of moon, without causing the lunar lander to topple and must attenuate the landing loads to preclude damage to the lander structure. The dynamic structural model of lunar lander is modelled and simulation described...
متن کاملDesign of Guidance Laws for Lunar Pinpoint Soft Landing
Future lunar missions ask for the capability to perform precise Guidance, Navigation and Control (GNC) to the selected landing sites on the lunar surface. This paper studies the guidance issues for the lunar pinpoint soft landing problem. The primary contribution of this paper is the design of descent guidance law based on the Pontryagin maximum principle. The simulation shows that the proposed...

متن کاملPerformance Assessment of Vision Based Hazard Avoidance during Lunar and Martian Landing
Hazard Avoidance is a key technology for a safe landing of future planetary missions. During Hazard Avoidance, sensors and computers onboard the lander are used to detect hazards in the landing zone, autonomously select the most suitable region for landing, and generate the trajectory that retargets the lander to the safer landing site. In this paper, visionbased hazard avoidance algorithms are...
