Research on Automatic Installing Technology of Deployable Thermal Radiator in Spacecraft Field

The deployable thermal radiator is a thermal energy radiator which is gathered on the side wall of the spacecraft during launch and is deployed after orbiting. It has been widely used in foreign satellite platforms. In this paper, based on the requirements of a spacecraft for the first time to install a deployable thermal radiator, a full analysis of the installation conditions is come up with industrial robot-assisted assembly technology. A series of toolings is designed. A large-scale component installing method is proposed, which can effectively ensure the product installation reliability and greatly improve the overall assembly efficiency of the spacecraft assembly.
