Space debris is growing dramatically, which poses a serious threat to space exploration activities. Especially the large non-cooperative target, such as malfunctioning satellites. This paper proposes a capture mechanism for the launch adapter ring that is usually available on satellites as the capture object, which used for in-orbit capture of malfunctioning satellites. Firstly, introduce the design conditions, the overall design plan, carry out the mechanical mechanism design, sensor system configuration, electrical system design, and explain the capture process. Secondly, analyze the capture tolerance. Thirdly, by establishing the kinematics model of the captured finger, use D-H parameter method for kinematic analysis, and analyze the dynamic in the capturing process. In addition, the control strategy is proposed, and the clamping force model, friction identification model, and servo control strategy are established. Then, the prototype is manufactured, and the clamping force, stiffness, capture loads, and capture tolerance are tested. Finally, the air-floating platform is used to verify the capture test of the launch adapter ring in a microgravity environment. The experimental results show that the developed capture mechanism meets the design conditions and has the ability to capture launch adapter ring of satellites in orbit.
