Autonomous navigation to quasi-periodic orbits near translunar Ubration points

Libration-point missions have been very useful and successful. Due to the unstable natures of most of these orbits, the long-time stationkeeping demands frequent maneuvers and precise orbit determinations. Earth-based tracking will have to undertake much more responsibilities with the increasing number of libration missions. An autonomous navigation system could offer a better way to decrease the need for Earth-based tracking. Nevertheless, when an autonomous navigation system is applied, there are three important factors affecting autonomous navigation accuracy, i.e., the accuracy of initial conditions, the accuracy of measurements, and the accuracy of onboard dynamics for propagation. This paper focuses on analyzing the influence from the third factor and finding an appropriate navigation dynamics, which can satisfy the requirement of estimation accuracy but not cause too much burden for onboard computation. When considering the restricted three-body model and the bicircular restricted four-body model as navigation dynamics, the astrin- gency is not shown during the simulations. Meanwhile, when considering the influences of the Sun＇s direct and indirect perturbations and the eccentricity of the Moon＇s orbit, a new navigation dynamic model with the standard ephemerides is proposed. The simulation shows the feasibility of the proposed model.

DGPS-based aircraft flight guidance/test system

The utilization of the GPS system for Aircraft Flight Guidance/Test (AFGT) is a research project in China. The paper describes the concepts and the technical realization of such a system, including three components: ground subsystem, on-board subsystem and data communication link using TDMA technique. The purpose of the proposed AFGT system is to calibrate and verify performance of an on-board radar. Therefore, it must meet the requirements of evaluation of radar performances in several areas: accuracy, coverage range, and others. The AFGT System's displays are separately: a Moving Colored Digital Map on which flight trajectories, waypoints, and heights of aircrafts are clearly marked; and a Polar Coordinate Figure on which the bearings, headings, and distances of aircrafts relative to the origin of the ground control center are shown. The AFGT may monitor and guide several aircrafts flying in the pointed airspace. It support airport surface surveillance and air traffic control at the terminal area. A real-time software package RTTEST, which includes tracking display software and on-flight test software for radar evaluation, has conducted simulation with satisfactory position accuracy     

The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Laser Ranging Investigation

The objective of the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) Laser Ranging (LR) system is to collect precise measurements of range that allow the spacecraft to achieve its requirement for precision orbit determination. The LR will make one-way range measurements via laser pulse time-of-flight from Earth to LRO, and will determine the position of the spacecraft at a sub-meter level with respect to ground stations on Earth and the center of mass of the Moon. Ranging will occur whenever LRO is visible in the line of sight from participating Earth ground tracking stations. The LR consists of two primary components, a flight system and ground system. The flight system consists of a small receiver telescope mounted on the LRO high-gain antenna that captures the uplinked laser signal, and a fiber optic cable that routes the signal to the Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter (LOLA) instrument on LRO. The LOLA instrument receiver records the time of the laser signal based on an ultrastable crystal oscillator, and provides the information to the onboard LRO data system for storage and/or transmittal to the ground through the spacecraft radio frequency link. The LR ground system consists of a network of satellite laser ranging stations, a data reception and distribution facility, and the LOLA Science Operations Center. LR measurements will enable the determination of a three-dimensional geodetic grid for the Moon based on the precise seleno-location of ground spots from LOLA.     

An epoch state filter for use with analytical orbit models of low earth satellites

Kalman filters provide a well established means for satellite orbit determination. In combination with space based sensors like GPS, DORIS or PRARE, accurate estimates of the spacecraft position and velocity can be obtained in real-time on-board the space vehicle. Traditionally, numerical methods of varying complexity are applied for propagating the state vector between measurements and updates of the state vector are referred to the epoch of the latest sensor output. In the present study a different approach is followed, which offers increased on-board autonomy and is particularly promising for small satellites with moderate accuracy requirements. An analytical orbit model is used to describe the spacecraft trajectory and mean elements at epoch are estimated instead of the instantaneous, osculating state vector. This adds the capability of performing on-board orbit prediction over time scales of up to one week, which is required, for instance, for the autonomous forecast of eclipse times or station contacts. Making use of the SGP4 orbit model that is compatible with NORAD twoline elements, an epoch state Kalman filter has been implemented and tested with GPS flight data of GPS/MET (MicroLab-1) and MOMSNAV (MIR). It is demonstrated that the proposed method provides an accuracy compatible with that of the analytical model and is robust enough to handle large data gaps in case of limited on-board resources for GPS operations. By adjusting the ballistic coefficient along with the mean elements, a considerable improvement of mid-term orbit predictions is achieved over methods that are restricted to the estimation of the state vector alone.     

Stability and Control of a Trap Mode in Synchronous Orbit

The possibility of the existence of a trap mode in synchronous orbit is investigated. It is shown that when such a mode exists, certain parameters of the satellite orbit may soon attain undesired equilibrium values, thus complicating the normal stationkeeping operation of the spacecraft. A state-dependent control force which eliminates any such trap mode in the satellite orbit is then investigated.

Stationkeeping manoeuvres for geostationary satellites using feedback control techniques

In this paper we discuss the determination of the correction manoeuvres required to control geostationary satellites within a predefined space box over a place above the Earth using a feedback control technique. The control algorithm formulated here combines an accurate numerical propagator for the orbit evolution with an iterative process for the calculation of impulsive manoeuvres that gives numerical solutions convergent to the optimal values, both for the impulses to be applied and for the times of their implementations, to minimize fuel consumption. Numerical simulations are presented to illustrate this technique and to compare it with classical stationkeeping. The numerical results for this nonlinear approach show how the magnitude of the impulses can be reduced over 3 percent per year with respect to the classical approach. This means that the orbital life-time can be increased up to 5 months for a 15 years life-time mission.

Nonlinear dynamics and station-keeping control of a rotating tethered satellite system in halo orbits

The dynamics of a rotating tethered satellite system （TSS） in the vicinity of libration points are highly nonlinear and inherently unstable. In order to fulfill the station-keep control of the rotating TSS along halo orbits, a nonlinear output tracking control scheme based on the θ- D technique is proposed. Compared with the popular time-variant linear quadratic regulator （LQR） controller, this approach overcomes some limitations such as on-line computations of the algebraic Riccati equation. Besides, the obtained nonlinear suboptimal controller is in a closed form and easy to implement. Numerical simulations show that the TTS trajectories track the periodic reference orbit with low energy consumption in the presence of both tether and initial injection errors. The axis of rotation can keep pointing to an inertial specific object to fulfill an observation mission. In addition, the thrusts required by the controller are in an acceptable range and can be implemented through some low-thrust propulsion devices.

Excitation control of a synchronous generator using a lookup table

A scheme involving the use of a lookup table is developed for the excitation control of a synchronous generator. The proposed control scheme, generator speed deviation, and acceleration deviation are taken as the input signals. These input signals are sampled and converted to linguistic terms before they are fed into the controller. The controller generates the desired output (control) signal by using a set of production rules (if-then rules) that are based on previous experience to relate the input signals to the output. The output signal is converted from linguistic terms to a numerical value before it is sent to the excitation system of the synchronous machine. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme, digital simulations of a synchronous generator subject to a three-phase fault under different operating conditions were performed. It was found that the controller can improve the dynamic performance of a synchronous generator over a wide range of operating conditions. Since the controller does not require model identification, it is computationally efficient and is suitable for online excitation control, using a microcomputer
