Orbital error propagation considering atmospheric density uncertainty

Due to the influence of various errors, the orbital uncertainty propagation of artificial celestial objects while orbit prediction is required, especially in some applications such as conjunction analysis. In the orbital error propagation of artificial celestial objects in low Earth orbits (LEOs), atmospheric density uncertainty is one of the important factors that require special attention. In this paper, on the basis of considering the uncertainties of position and velocity, the atmospheric density uncertainty is also taken into account to further investigate the orbital error propagation of artificial celestial objects in LEOs. Artificial intelligence algorithms are introduced, the MC Dropout neural network and the heteroscedastic loss function are used to realize the correction of the empirical atmospheric density model, as well as to provide the quantification of model uncertainty and input uncertainty for the corrected atmospheric densities. It is shown that the neural network we built achieves good results in atmospheric density correction, and the uncertainty quantization obtained from the neural network is also reasonable. Moreover, using the Gaussian mixture model - unscented transform (GMM-UT) method, the atmospheric density uncertainty is taken into account in the orbital uncertainty propagation, by adding a sampled random term to the corrected atmospheric density when calculating atmospheric density. The feasibility of the GMM-UT method considering atmospheric density uncertainty is proved by the further comparison of abundant sampling points and GMM-UT results (with and without considering atmospheric density uncertainty).

未知纬度条件下基于空间圆拟合的SINS初始对准方法

传统的捷联惯导系统(SINS)晃动基座初始对准算法,如积分双矢量方法和多矢量Wahba方法等均需要精确的纬度信息,粗对准偏航角误差较大.针对此特点,提出了一种未知纬度条件下基于空间圆拟合的SINS初始对准方法.根据重力矢量在惯性系中绕地轴旋转包含北向信息的特征,以初始时刻凝固载体坐标系作为惯性系,首先对重力矢量在凝固载体系内进行投影并滤波,对其矢量端点进行空间圆拟合,然后通过三角几何关系得到导航坐标系,从而完成对准过程.通过仿真验证,证实了该对准方法不需要已知对准点的精确位置信息,相比于积分双矢量方法与多矢量Wahba方法,偏航角对准精度分别提高了12.37'与5.10'.
