膜盒贮箱推进剂补加过程的建模与仿真

推进剂在轨补加是确保空间站长期工作的重要条件。为了使补加工作顺利实施,需要对推进剂补加过程进行专门的研究。航天器常用推进剂如一甲基肼、四氧化二氮等有剧毒,地面模拟补加试验常采用无毒的模拟工质。但由于两种物质的物性参数存在差异,导致模拟的补加过程和效果与实际情况有差异。文章参考国外空间站补加系统构成形式和补加过程,建立膜盒贮箱推进剂补加过程的数学模型,通过将仿真结果与地面试验数据对比验证了数学模型的准确性。进一步对两种推进剂的补加过程进行仿真分析,并与纯净水补加数据对比。结果表明:液体工质的体积流率与密度存在反比关系,即一甲基肼的补加速率高于纯净水,四氧化二氮的补加速率则低于纯净水。

Tethered propellant resupply technique for space stations

Interim results of a study on use of the tethered propellant resupply technique on the space station are summarized. The acceleration produced by a gravity-gradient-stabilized tether can predictably settle propellants and thereby simplify propellant resupply of vehicles when compared to zero-g techniques. Separation of the gas and liquid phases by settling enables performance of liquid acquisition and gas venting without special hardware in the propellant tanks and without special procedures. The primary requirement for propellant transfer is control of liquid sloshing to maintain liquid over the supply tank outlet and gas over the receiver tank vent. Ultimately, the decision to use this technique on the space station may depend upon the capability to adjust depot logistic operations to a tether.

Space station orbit design using dynamic programming

A space station orbit design mission is characterized by a long-duration and multi-step decision process. First, the long-duration design process is divided into multiple planning periods, each of which consists of five basic flight segments. Second, each planning period is modeled as a multi-step decision process, and the orbital altitude strategies of different flight segments have interaction effects on each other. Third, a dynamic programming method is used to optimize the total propellant consumption of a planning period while considering interaction effects. The step cost of each decision segment is the propellant for orbital-decay maintenance or lifting altitude, and is calculated by approximate analytical equations and combining a shooting iteration method. The proposed approach is demonstrated for a typical orbit design problem of a space station. The results show that the proposed approach can effectively optimize the design of altitude strategies, and can save considerable propellant consumption for the space station than previous public studies.

Some useful coordinate systems to discuss the apogee motor firing optimization

This paper introduces five useful coordinate systems to optimize the apogee motor firing of a geostationary satellite. This optimization minimizes the propellant consumption for station acquisition manoeuvres. The coordinate systems used for this purpose must depict the optimization parameters together with the propellant consumption. In order to get the propellant consumption, some relations between parameters are derived and the equipropellant lines (planes) are drawn in the coordinate systems. These coordinate systems are used not only for the optimization of the apogee motor firing but also for the optimization of the station acquisition strategy, the transfer orbit setting and the apogee motor sizing.
