Dynamics modeling and simulation of space electromagnetic docking for CubeSat

A novel model of space electromagnetic docking is established to solve the problem of traditional plume contamination and short service life in this paper. A new modelling technique regarding space electromagnetic docking for CubeSat is proposed. The mathematical model with four core-containing energized solenoids is derived and simplified to the magnetic dipole far-field model of single-turn coil. Simplifying the magnetic dipole far-field model will yield the model of space electromagnetic docking, and the numerical simulation results also verify the reliability and feasibility of simplification process.
