ABSTRACT

In order to accurately obtain the tension of flexible cable net structure on Spaceborne mesh antenna with high precision, a tension measuring instrument is designed. The instrument eliminates the influence of the three-point bending of the rope on the measurement results through two actions and realizes the determination of the tension value of the fixed pretension rope at both ends. By building a laboratory prototype, the tension measurement system is designed, and the application test is carried out, which has a certain application value.
