摘要

Under increasingly congested orbital conditions, tethered towing technology has emerged as a promising approach for active debris removal, where despinning operations are essential for stable deorbiting. This study investigates damping-based despinning control mechanisms, establishing necessary conditions for effective despinning positions and defining angular momentum-dependent despinning zones. Guided by these principles, an optimization method for trajectory planning of mission satellites during tethered system attitude adjustments is proposed. Numerical simulations validate the approach's effectiveness in achieving controlled debris removal.
