Abstract
In this paper, a catapult separation device equipped with guide mechanism is considered, and the corresponding dynamic model is descripted firstly. Then, employing the dynamic simulation software ADAMS, the virtual prototype model of the separation device is established, and the whole process of on-orbit separation is simulated. Finally, the structure parameters of the guide mechanism such as the number of roller group or distance between groups are studied. The simulation results could provide references for the optimization of the separation device.
