Aerospace Instrument-Making Annotation << Back PROCEDURE OF THE SUBSTANTIATION OF OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR THE SENSORS OF KINETIC ACTIONS, INSTALLED ON THE AUTOMATIC SPACECRAFT Zinovjev Yu.S., Maletin A.N., Khatanzeyskaya M.A. This work is dedicated to the substantiation of basic operational requirements for the accelerometers, installed on board the large automatic spacecraft, for deter-mining the fact of jointing with it small automatic spacecraft. This jointing is nec-essary for the servicing (refueling), the repair, evaluating the technical state of large automatic spacecraft, etc In connection with this is developed systematic apparatus for evaluating such parameters of accelerometer as threshold of re-sponse, speed and the range of measurements. The use of classical theory of elastic umpact is assumed as the basis of systematic apparatus. Is determined speed range, with which is allowed its use taking into account the assumptions indicated. Are obtained the approximate dependences of the apparent acceleration (with different rates of jointing) on the mass of the small automatic spacecraft, which make it possible to base basic operational requirements for the accelerometers. Key words: automatic spacecraft, accelerometer, collision, apparent acceleration. Contacts: E-mail: maletin@bk.ru Pp. 19-23.
