Augmented Reality Based Assembly Guidance for Spacecraft Conductive Network

Abstract

Conductive network is an important component that affects the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) of spacecraft. Manual work-based paste and overlap of copper tape is the main installation way of conductive network. Work patterns dominated by human experience have problems of low efficiency, high error rate and high learning cost, which cannot guarantee the operation requirements of speed, quality and precision. In order to solve these problems, the augmented reality (AR) based guidance technology for assembling spacecraft conductive network is proposed. Firstly, the virtual-real fusion method and the guidance information modeling method are studied. Then an AR based guidance system is built with HoloLens and Unity3D, which can help worker paste and overlap copper tape efficiently and verify the superior experience of applying AR technology to conductive network assembly.
