Abstract

The DFH-4E satellite layout has a large and complex payload, a large weight, and a high longitudinal centre of mass, which brings greater difficulties and risks to hoisting command and docking operations. This paper analyzes the technical difficulties in the process of satellite assembly operations-satellite horizontal docking and hoisting, and summarizes and refines the skills and methods of its hoisting operations. While successfully solving the technical problem of DFH-4E satellite aerial horizontal docking at the final assembly site, it achieved the purpose of escorting the development of satellites, and the formed operation methods and skills provided experience and data support for subsequent hoisting tasks.
