Structural design, accuracy analysis, and mechanical calibration of a small two-component docking mechanism for large loads in space

Abstract Currently, the passive part of the space station platform’s docking device has been finalized, emphasizing the need for a docking mechanism that enables the on-orbit assembly of large payloads using in-situ resources. This paper presents the design of a compact, high-precision dual-componen...
