Abstract
Magnetic flux pinning takes place between the high-temperature superconductors and magnets which can form non-contacting linkages between the individual components. This interaction is proposed for use in in-orbit assembly. This paper develops a flux pinned revolute joint which fits for the reconfiguration of modular spacecraft and details the reconfiguration mechanisms of the novel joint. Moreover, the process of reconfiguration is simulated via the rigid body dynamics. Furthermore, two flux pinned modules are constucted to confirm the feasibility of the designed flux pinned rovolute joint for reconfiguration on a testbed.
