Design and Analysis of a New Space Telescopic Mast

摘要

The space telescopic mast has the characteristics of high rigidity, strong bearing capacity and simple deployment principle. Aiming at the shortcomings of large mass and limited screw length in the existing telescopic mast, a spiral climbing-driven telescopic mast was designed, and the structural design and kinematic analysis were studied. The verification results of the motion simulation through ADAMS software are consistent with theoretical calculations. The new telescopic mast has the characteristics of light weight, low manufacturing cost, and unrestricted length of single-section stretching.
