Description
Summary:The cable-suspension method is used to simulate weightlessness on Earth in the general case. By an example of mathematical simulation of a system of rigid bodies connected via hinged joints and suspended from a special facility, it is shown that the method developed provides realistic simulation of orbital processes under earth conditions. The validation criterion for the simulation is the closeness of the values of the forces and moments in joints and the attitude and angular velocities to their theoretical values in orbital motion.
