摘      要：This study involved simulations and experiments aimed at assessing the efficacy of a tether net in encapsulating space *** tether net was modeled as a spring–mass–damper system considering the influence of aerodynamic and gravitational forces and the occurrence of debris *** examine the influence of collision position and size disparity between the debris and the net on debris capture status,the entanglement nodes of the net were *** were conducted to evaluate the wrapping capabilities of the tether net,focusing specifically on debris ***,the results were compared with those of the numerical *** the experiments,radio frequency identification was used to identify the entanglement points of the tether *** studies have indicated that the ideal collision point for capturing debris using a tether net with the debris intended to be captured is located at the center of the ***,the experimental results of this study revealed that a collision position that is slightly shifted from the center of the tether net is more advantageous for capturing debris in terms of tether net entanglement.
