Abstract

The 3D multi-body system dynamic simulation of the parachute deployment procedure for manned spaceflight was created using the multi-body system dynamic concept. It is made up of mass points and serious rigid bodies that are constrained in their elasticity. First, the proposed model was found to be accurate and effective based on comparisons between modelling findings and data from airdrop tests. Second, a simulation of the deployment process under various wind directions and velocities revealed that the side wind was the largest influential element. Simultaneously, this rule's dynamical mechanism was examined. Understanding the mechanism of the parachute deployment process was made possible by this research on parachute deployment for manned spacecraft.
