运动单站干涉仪相位差直接定位方法

针对传统干涉仪测向定位在低信噪比(SNR)下性能降低、多频段系统复杂等缺点,本文直接利用运动单站干涉仪模糊相位差(PD)实现对地面静止辐射源定位.为解决该定位问题,结合干涉仪相位差的几何特性,提出了一种多角度距离参数化高斯和滤波(MB-RP-GMF)定位解算方法,利用相位差误差检测获得多个初始方位角,通过距离参数化得到一组滤波初始值,采用扩展卡尔曼滤波(EKF)进行定位计算.仿真结果表明,该定位方法在低信噪比下优于仅测向(BO)定位,且仅采用一组干涉仪便可对多个频段辐射源进行定位.     

绳系卫星部署阶段的动力学分析

绳系卫星系统部署阶段末时刻状态决定着其编队飞行的初始状态，为了研究不同因素对绳系卫星系统部署阶段运动的影响，本文建立了一种简单的平面哑铃模型，将系绳视作有阻尼的弹簧，两个卫星视作刚体，考虑重力梯度力矩。通过仿真，发现系绳释放的速度和副星推力是影响绳系卫星系统部署阶段稳定性的主要因素。

J2项和大气阻力摄动作用下卫星编队构型的演化分析

研究卫星编队构型在J2项摄动和大气阻力摄动作用下的演化进程。从相对运动动力学模型出发,分别加入J2项摄动和大气阻力摄动因素,采用数值积分对所获得的运动方程求解,得到参考星和环绕星在惯性坐标系中的绝对运动规律;将两星的绝对运动规律作差后,利用坐标转换矩阵,将惯性坐标系中两星的相对运动规律转换到Hill坐标系中。由于该方法没有经过任何简化,故研究摄动的影响时不存在误差。最后通过仿真分析,给出了J2项摄动和大气阻力摄动作用下卫星编队构型演化的相关结论,并提出进一步研究的方向。

Diversity of Comets: Formation Zones and Dynamical Paths

The past dozen years have produced a new paradigm with regard to the source regions of comets in the early solar system. It is now widely recognized that the likely source of the Jupiter-family short-period comets (those with Tisserand parameters, T > 2 and periods, P, generally < 20 years) is the Kuiper belt in the ecliptic plane beyond Neptune. In contrast, the source of the Halley-type and long-period comets (those with T < 2 and P > 20 years) appears to be the Oort cloud. However, the comets in the Oort cloud almost certainly originated elsewhere, since accretion is very inefficient at such large heliocentric distances. New dynamical studies now suggest that the source of the Oort cloud comets is the entire giant planets region from Jupiter to Neptune, rather than primarily the Uranus-Neptune region, as previously thought. Some fraction of the Oort cloud population may even be asteroidal bodies formed inside the orbit of Jupiter. These comets and asteroids underwent a complex dynamical random walk among the giant planets before they were ejected to distant orbits in the Oort cloud, with possible interesting consequences for their thermal and collisional histories. Observational evidence for diversity in cometary compositions is limited, at best. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Periodic relative orbits of two spacecraft subject to differential gravity and electrostatic forcing

Coulomb forces between charged close-flying satellites can be used for formation control, and constant electric potentials enable static equilibria solutions. In this work, open-loop time-varying potential functions, which produce periodic, two-craft, Coulomb formation motions are demonstrated for the first time. This is done in the rotating Hill-Frame, with linearized gravity, and craft position components assumed in the form of simple harmonic oscillators. Substitution of the oscillatory functions into the dynamics, further constrains these functions, and yields necessary potential histories, to produce the periodic flow. The assumed position functions, however, are not arbitrary, since the dynamical model restricts what oscillatory trajectories are allowed. Specifically, a Hill-Frame integral of motion is derived, and this is used to show certain candidate periodic functions to be inadmissible. The system dynamics are then linearized to expose stability properties of the solutions, and it is established that asymptotic stability is impossible for all orbit families. Finally, the degree of instability in the assumed motions, over free parameter ranges, is determined numerically via the Floquet multipliers of the associated full-cycle state-transition matrices.     

Human Mission from Planet Earth: finding a rationale for exploration of the Moon and Mars

This paper advances scenarios for an evolutionary approach to the establishment of a Human Mission from Planet Earth involving exploration and utilization of the Moon and Mars. Of critical importance are the concepts of robotic–human and Moon–Mars synergies. The paper discusses the rationale variables that have an influence on types of space activities pursued and thus the policy that leads to particular scenarios. In this regard, the technological, scientific, and sociopolitical/socioeconomic impacts and consequences related to a Human Mission from Planet Earth are examined.
