可重复使用运载器的再入制导(英文)

提出了一种针对可重复使用运载器的再入制导算法。算法可分为轨迹规划算法和轨迹跟踪算法。较之经典的规划阻力的航天飞机制导方法,此算法最显著的特点在于轨迹规划与轨迹跟踪都直接在高度-速度空间里进行。在规划算法中,所有的轨道不等约束都可用高度-速度空间里的上下边界来表示,之后基于此边界采用线性化插值的方法来产生标称轨迹族,最后根据末端约束(末端能量管理)和航程约束来选择所需的标称轨迹。跟踪算法则采用反馈线性化来跟踪此标称轨迹进而满足所有的约束条件。此算法另一有别于传统方法的特点在于算法可使用一个航迹角控制器来增加航程,以满足大航程需要。适当地结合规划-跟踪算法和航迹角控制器可给再入制导带来极大的灵活性和适应性。另外,算法对各种建模误差与噪声的鲁棒性经验证也是符合要求的。

Reentry guidance for reusable launching vehicle

A new reentry guidance algorithm for RLV (reusable launching vehicle) is presented. The algorithm consists of two integrated components; trajectory planning algorithm and tracking algorithm. The most striking feature of algorithm here lies in the approach that both planning and tracking are executed directly in height-velocity space, which is different from the methodology of configuration of drag in traditional shuttle guidance. In the session of trajectory planning, all trajectory constraints can be expressed with upper bound and lower bound in height-velocity space, then a linear interpolation is adopted to search the nominal trajectory satisfying the requirement of downrange and target constraints. The tracking algorithm uses feedback linearization method to track this nominal profile and meet all constraints. Another typical feature of this algorithm is the strategy of downrange extension using FPA (flight path angle) controller to fulfill the requirement of large downrange. Proper combination of planning-tracking algorithm and FPA controller can bring great flexibility and adaptability to reentry guidance. The algorithm is proved to be robust enough to accommodate the model error and noises in the dynamics.
