Umbilical and follower assembly utilized in microgravity platform system |
摘要 |
An umbilical and follower assembly for preventing unwanted movements of a frame from being transmitted by an umbilical cord to a microgravity platform as may be utilized on an orbiting space vehicle. The follower assembly includes a plurality of actuators capable of moving an umbilical attachment in directions which are opposite to the unwanted movements of the frame. The attachment engages a portion of the umbilical and thus maintains the umbilical in a predetermined position relative to the platform, preventing the unwanted frame movements from being transmitted past the attachment and to the platform. The umbilical preferably includes a portion having three separate loop portions, with each loop extending in a different orthogonal plane and capable of absorbing rotational motion in that plane by deformation of the loop portion.
