Abstract

Consideration was given to the free-flying automated space module, a facility intended for servicing the orbiting space station and its accompanying objects. The notion of technical controllability of the free-flyer was introduced. A theorem about the necessary and sufficient conditions for technical controllability was proved. Methods for establishing the domains of technical controllability in the space of the generalized coordinates of object motion were proposed. By means of an illustrative example, the results of applying the notion of technical controllability were demonstrated, the domains of the given degree of technical controllability were established, and the minimal necessary vector of constraints on control of the object was determined.
