Abstract
There are many definitions of mechanism. The traditional definition is: Mechanism is a physical combination with a certain motion, which has a component system with a frame, which is connected by moving pairs to transfer motion and power. Spacecraft mechanism is a mechanical component that enables spacecraft and its components or accessories to complete specified actions or movements. It is generally composed of moving components and power supply. The research scope of spacecraft mechanism technology covers the transmission of mechanism motion, the force between various components, as well as the functional performances to be realized, mechanism manufacturing technology, test technology, transmission technology and reliability technology.
