This paper describes study and development of docking mechanism to release and retract a micro satellite. The docking mechanism which was designed this time is aimed at applying to small mothership-daughtership satellite for formation flying. The docking strategy using this docking mechanism divides two phases. The first is a phase of approaching and grasping a daughtership. The second is a retracting phase. The mechanism is required to release a daughtership stably and to retract it into the desired point on a mothership. The size of docking space is 350mm-diameter (daughtership size is 200mm-diameter) enough to permit position/attitude control error of daughtership. Furthermore it is necessary to secure enough size of docking space but to make a mechanism as small as possible. In addition, a recharging system is developed and equipped this mechanism. We report the result of design and introduce plans of ground experiment using air-floating test beds and a free-fall Microgravity experiment using free-fall tower.
