N2 - Space debris is becoming an increasingly serious threat to human space activities. Active debris removal by connecting a space tug to debris by means of tethers is one of the promising techniques to constrain the debris population. In this study, dynamic model of the debris-tug system with flexible appendages is derived using Kane's method. Numerical simulations indicate that the attitude motions of the debris-tug system and the oscillation of the solar panels are stable during deorbiting.
