Using TensorFlow-based Neural Network to estimate GNSS single frequency ionospheric delay (IONONet)

In the last 20?years, and in particular in the last decade, the availability of propagation data for GNSS has increased substantially. In this sense, the ionosphere has been sounded with a large number of receivers that provide an enormous amount of ionospheric data. Moreover, the maturity of the models has also been increased in the same period of time. As an example, IGS has ionospheric maps from GNSS data back to 1998, which would allow for the correlation of these data with other quantities relevant for the user and space weather (such as Solar Flux and Kp). These large datasets would account for almost half a billion points to be analyzed. With the advent and explosion of Big Data algorithms to analyze large databases and find correlations with different kinds of data, and the availability of open source code libraries (for example, the TensorFlow libraries from Google that are used in this paper), the possibility of merging these two worlds has been widely opened. In this paper, a proof of concept for a single frequency correction algorithm based in GNSS GIM vTEC and Fully Connected Neural Networks is provided. Different Neural Network architectures have been tested, including shallow (one hidden layer) and deep (up to five hidden layers) Neural Network models. The error in training data of such models ranges from 50% to 1% depending on the architecture used. Moreover, it is shown that by adjusting a Neural Network with data from 2005 to 2009 but tested with data from 2016 to 2017, Neural Network models could be suitable for the forecast of vTEC for single frequency users. The results indicate that this kind of model can be used in combination with the Galileo Signal-in-Space (SiS) NeQuick G parameters. This combination provides a broadcast model with equivalent performances to NeQuick G and better than GPS ICA for the years 2016 and 2017, showing a 3D position Root Mean Squared (RMS) error of approximately 2?m.

Mechanism of error propagation from the subdaily Universal Time model into the celestial pole offsets estimated by VLBI

Within the analysis of space geodetic observations, errors of the applied subdaily Earth rotation model can induce systematic effects in different estimated parameters. In this paper, we focus on the impact of the subdaily Universal Time (UT1) model on the celestial pole offsets (CPO) estimated from very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) observations. We provide a mechanism that describes the error propagation from the subdaily UT1 into the daily CPO.In typical 24-h VLBI sessions the observed quasars are well distributed over the sky. But the observations, if looked at from the Earth-fixed frame, are not homogeneously distributed. The amount of observations performed in different terrestrial directions shows an irregularity which can be roughly compared to the case where the observations are collected in only one Earth-fixed direction. This peculiarity leads to artefacts in VLBI solutions, producing a correlation between the subdaily variations in UT1 and the position of the celestial pole. As a result errors in diurnal terms of the subdaily UT1 model are partly compensated by the estimated CPO. We compute for each 24-h VLBI session from 1990 until 2011 the theoretical response of the CPO to an error in the subdaily UT1 by setting up a least-squares adjustment model and using as input the coordinates of the observed quasars and observation epochs. Then real observed response of the estimated CPO derived from the VLBI session solutions is compared to the predicted one. A very good agreement between the CPO values estimated from VLBI and the predicted values was achieved. The presented model of error propagation from the subdaily UT1 into the daily CPO allows to predict and explain the behaviour of CPO estimates of VLBI solutions computed with different subdaily Earth rotation models, what can be helpful for testing the accuracy of different subdaily tidal models.

控制力矩陀螺轴承组件是空间飞行器姿态控制系统的核心部件，其轴承的性能直接影响着空间飞行器姿态控制系统的控制精度和使用寿命，甚至危及空间飞行器安全.对于控制力矩陀螺轴承组件，轴承摩擦力矩大小及其波动性是轴承的关键性能指标，针对空间飞行器控制力矩陀螺轴承组件，在滚动轴承摩擦学和动力学基础上，建立六自由度控制力矩陀螺轴承组件非线性动力学微分方程组，并采用预估 校正的GSTIFF(Gear stiff)变步长积分算法进行求解，对其在有/无重力的工作环境、公 自转工况、轴承预紧力以及保持架兜孔间隙对轴承摩擦力矩幅值及其波动性的影响进行分析.分析结果表明：预紧力对轴承组件摩擦力矩影响显著，预紧力过大或过小都不利于降低摩擦力矩及其波动性，对于本文分析的轴承组件最佳预紧力为50~55N；保持架稳定性受重力影响显著，无重力时自转工况下保持架较稳定；过小的兜孔间隙会使摩擦力矩增大，过大的兜孔间隙会使摩擦力矩波动性增大，存在最优兜孔间隙使得摩擦力矩及其波动性都较小，针对本文分析型号的轴承组件，间隙比应控制在0.6~0.8之间.     

滚珠自转对高速球轴承环下润滑内部流动的影响

高速球轴承正常工作时,处于高速旋转状态,此时油相和气相因重力和离心力的作用在轴承环间剧烈运动。为了更准确地分析轴承环间的两相流动,采取VOF模型进行内部流场的模拟,采用多重旋转坐标系描述部件运动。建立球轴承环下润滑计算模型,分析了考虑滚珠自转因素下轴承内部的流动,并在此基础上探究了转速及供油量对轴承工作状态的影响。结果表明,对比整体模型与滚珠自转模型,发现滚珠自转使得轴承内部油体积分数增大,同时也使得滑油穿透间隙达到外环的能力增加;在考虑滚珠自转情况下,转速的不断增大,使得轴承内部的油相体积分数不断减小,在低转速情况下滚珠自转对流体运动影响较为明显,在高转速情况下公转速度对流体运动起到主导作用,滚珠自转对流体运动影响减弱;供油量不断的增大,使得滚珠自转模型内部的油相体积分数也在不断增大,而且滚珠自转运动会加强滑油在轴承内部的分布。
