Indirect optimization for finite thrust orbit transfer and cooperative rendezvous using an initial guess generator

In this paper, the finite thrust nonplanar transfer and cooperative rendezvous are investigated. The indirect method is adopted in the optimization process. The energy-optimal to fuel-optimal continuation is performed by using the homotopy method. An initial guess generator (IGG) is designed based on a simplified dynamical model to overcome the difficulty in providing the initial guess. Some reasonable simplifications on the dynamical model are applied based on the near-circular near-coplanar transfer. The initial guess can be obtained by analytically solving a system of linear equations. Therefore, the IGG has high computational efficiency. Moreover, the terminal time and state are estimated by IGG to deal with the cooperative rendezvous problem. Numerical examples are presented and the validity of the “IGG-Homotopy” combined algorithm is verified.     

BeiDou-3 orbit and clock quality of the IGS Multi-GNSS Pilot Project

Within the Multi-GNSS Pilot Project (MGEX) of the International GNSS Service (IGS), precise orbit and clock products for the BeiDou-3 global navigation satellite system (BDS-3) are routinely generated by a total of five analysis centers. The processing standards and specific properties of the individual products are reviewed and the BDS-3 orbit and clock product performance is assessed through direct inter-comparison, satellite laser ranging (SLR) residuals, clock stability analysis, and precise point positioning solutions. The orbit consistency evaluated by the signal-in-space range error is on the level of 4–8 cm for the medium Earth orbit satellites whereas SLR residuals have RMS values between 3 and 9 cm. The clock analysis reveals sytematic effects related to the elevation of the Sun above the orbital plane for all ACs pointing to deficiencies in solar radiation pressure modeling. Nevertheless, precise point positioning with the BDS-3 MGEX orbit and clock products results in 3D RMS values between 7 and 8 mm.     

Improving the low orbit satellite tracking ability using nonlinear model predictive controller and Genetic Algorithm

The satellite motion on the reference orbit (RO) with less energy consumption has always persuaded researchers to design optimal control systems. The nonlinear nature and time-varying equations of motion make this quest more challenging. The present study proposes a novel control system for satellite motion on the RO by considering a comprehensive model of its dynamics in orbit and a Nonlinear Model Predictive Controller (NMPC). The NMPC calculates the sub-optimal control inputs of satellite motion reference on the elliptic orbit by minimizing a convex cost function at each stage. Moreover, all weighting parameters of the cost function are optimized by the Genetic Algorithm (GA) to produce less perturbation and guarantee the best NMPC performance. Finally, the implemented NMPC has been compared to a Linear MPC (LMPC). The results show that not only can the NMPC resist against larger errors and perturbations, but it can also compensate for those errors by returning the satellite to its main orbit and maintaining it.     

无刷直流电机在转子偏心故障时的容错控制研究

在一些工业场合,无刷直流电机需要在转子偏心故障的情形下保持运行状态,而传统的控制策略无法有效地实现容错运行。针对这个问题,提出了一种无刷直流电机在转子偏心时的故障容错控制策略。分析了在传统无刷直流电机控制方法中,每相定子电流参考在波形上是一致的,仅存在一定的相位延迟,而没有考虑电机偏心后导致的反电动势和相电感变化,因此电机偏心将导致未知的转矩脉动。新型控制策略在传统控制策略的基础上采用了在线估计方法,获取了相电感和反电动势的值,从而控制器设置定子电流参考时包含了对偏心故障的考虑和相关运算,从而使电机能够降低转矩脉动,具备一定的故障容错运行能力。最后通过对比试验的方法对新型控制策略进行了试验验证。     

利用姿态机动的绳系卫星编队系统轨道协同控制

为克服绳系卫星编队系统在轨道机动过程中的系绳摆动现象，提出一种通过调整领航星推力方向进而实现编队系统轨道跟踪的控制算法。由于推力方向角与状态量互相耦合且少于系统自由度个数，轨道协同控制属于典型的非仿射欠驱动控制问题。针对此问题，首先采用升阶法将角速度作为虚拟控制输入；然后为各子系统设计子滑模面后加权得到高层滑模面和等效控制输入律，并设计观测器估计系统非线性项；其次基于模型预测控制算法优化得到最高层滑模面的趋近控制律；最后采用MATLAB/Simulink验证了所提控制算法的有效性。     

An atmosphere-breathing propulsion system using inductively coupled plasma source

CubeSats have attracted more research interest recently due to their lower cost and shorter production time. A promising technology for CubeSat application is atmosphere-breathing electric propulsion, which can capture the atmospheric particles as propulsion propellant to maintain long-term mission at very low Earth orbit. This paper designs an atmosphere-breathing electric propulsion system for a 3 U CubeSat, which consists of an intake device and an electric thruster based on the inductively coupled plasma. The capture performance of intake device is optimized considering both particles capture efficiency and compression ratio. The plasma source is also analyzed by experiment and simulation. Then, the thrust performance is also estimated when taking into account the intake performance. The results show that it is feasible to use atmosphere-breathing electric propulsion technology for CubeSats to compensate for aerodynamic drag at lower Earth orbit.
