In the non-cooperative space object close-proximity tracking problem, a method of utilizing an impact ball to collide with the object is proposed to change the angular momentum and estimate the inertial parameters of the object. This paper investigates the mechanism of the collision and the adhesion between the impact ball and the spacecraft are studied. Firstly, the structure of the impact ball is analyzed. The impact ball is designed as a rubber ball with a radius of 20 mm. The surface of the ball is a bionic Parthenocissus structure. The sponge-like hole of the structure contains bionic mussel secretion with high adhesion. Secondly, the minimum relative velocity of the impact ball penetrating the spacecraft is calculated. When the relative velocity of the impact ball is less than the minimum relative velocity, the spacecraft will not be penetrated by the ball. Finally, the adhesion performance of the impact ball after the collision is analyzed. Numerical calculation shows that after the collision, the maximum adhesion force is greater than the maximum rebound force. The impact ball can adhere to the surface of the spacecraft after the collision.
