Platform of automation of component weight compensation system for large spacecraft reflector

The design and logic of opening large convertible antenna are considered in this article. The necessity of weight component compensation in the assembly and testing of the design is discovered. Taking into the account the logic of the movement elements of power spokes, it has been concluded that the use of the tracking system compensates the weight component. The analysis of the existing equipment and control systems has been conducted. The selection of the manufacturer of automated equipment that meets the stated objectives of management and control was made. It is concluded that the design component of the weight compensation system based on servo controllers and sensors combined platform automation, controlled by special software. The structure of the platform automation, consistent workflow testing, has been developed. It defines the principles of interaction between subsystems of the weight compensation component for receiving, processing and monitoring of process parameters testing. It is concluded that the proposed system can be integrated into the automation system and the perspective of process control testing of disclosure of large spacecraft.
