摘要：
As a large number of abandoned space objects are out of control, they will be in a tumbling state due to the perturbation effects, such as residual angular momentum, light pressure and so on. De-tumbling control of the space objects is probably a safer way before directly capturing them. De-tumbling control techniques for typical space objects at home and abroad was introduced, the concept of de-tumbling by close irradiation of laser with a small spot was proposed, and the main characteristics of laser de-tumbling control were also analyzed. Moreover, based on the pulsed laser ablation impulse coupling effect, the concept of space-based laser de-tumbling analysis was carried out with the typical cylindrical space targets. The results indicate that the laser control method can precisely control the motion posture of the space target. The space-based laser control method proposed in this paper can provide a new method for the de-tumbling control of the spinning space target. © 2020, Editorial Board of Journal of Infrared and Laser Engineering.
