Disturbance observer based model predictive control for accurate atmospheric entry of spacecraft

Facing the complex aerodynamic environment of Mars atmosphere, a composite atmospheric entry trajectory tracking strategy is investigated in this paper. External disturbances, initial states uncertainties and aerodynamic parameters uncertainties are the main problems. The composite strategy is designed to solve these problems and improve the accuracy of Mars atmospheric entry. This strategy includes a model predictive control for optimized trajectory tracking performance, as well as a disturbance observer based feedforward compensation for external disturbances and uncertainties attenuation. 500-run Monte Carlo simulations show that the proposed composite control scheme achieves more precise Mars atmospheric entry (3.8?km parachute deployment point distribution error) than the baseline control scheme (8.4?km) and integral control scheme (5.8?km).     

在轨气动全柔性触手用材料的成型工艺研究

根据空间在轨抓捕服务的需求,针对PDMS和E30两种硅橡胶材料开展全柔性触手的材料制备和结构成型工艺研究,分析不同工艺参数对材料硬度及力学性能的影响。结果表明,随着固化温度的升高和固化时间的延长,两种材料的杨氏模量均逐步提高;随着固化剂占比的提高,杨氏模量呈先上升后下降的趋势。在此基础上,分别采用半固化和全固化工艺制备E30/PDMS/E30三明治结构的复合材料,结果表明半固化工艺所得样品具有明显的界面过渡层和较高的拉伸强度,其断裂伸长率达460%,性能优势突出。采用分析所得最佳工艺制备的气动柔性触手样品具有较好的运动特性——当气压为58 500 Pa时,触手的平均卷曲角速度为0.4 rad/s,最大达0.8 rad/s。本工艺研究结果为实现轨道目标物体的捕获提供了新的材料制备方法和思路。

Reliability-based trajectory optimization using nonintrusive polynomial chaos for Mars entry mission

This paper presents the reliability-based sequential optimization (RBSO) method to settle the trajectory optimization problem with parametric uncertainties in entry dynamics for Mars entry mission. First, the deterministic entry trajectory optimization model is reviewed, and then the reliability-based optimization model is formulated. In addition, the modified sequential optimization method, in which the nonintrusive polynomial chaos expansion (PCE) method and the most probable point (MPP) searching method are employed, is proposed to solve the reliability-based optimization problem efficiently. The nonintrusive PCE method contributes to the transformation between the stochastic optimization (SO) and the deterministic optimization (DO) and to the approximation of trajectory solution efficiently. The MPP method, which is used for assessing the reliability of constraints satisfaction only up to the necessary level, is employed to further improve the computational efficiency. The cycle including SO, reliability assessment and constraints update is repeated in the RBSO until the reliability requirements of constraints satisfaction are satisfied. Finally, the RBSO is compared with the traditional DO and the traditional sequential optimization based on Monte Carlo (MC) simulation in a specific Mars entry mission to demonstrate the effectiveness and the efficiency of the proposed method.     

Autonomous navigation of Mars probe using X-ray pulsars: Modeling and results

Autonomous navigation of Mars probe is a main challenge due to the lack of dense ground tracking network measurements. In this paper, autonomous navigation of the Mars probe Orbits is investigated using the X-ray pulsars. A group of X-ray pulsars with high ranging accuracy are selected based on their properties and an adaptive extended Kalman filter is developed to incorporate the Mars probe dynamics and pulsar-based ranging measurements. Results of numerical experiment show that the three-dimensional positioning accuracy can achieve 750m in X-axis, 220m in Y-axis and 230m in Z-axis, which is much better than the positioning results by current Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) or Doppler observations with the accuracy of 150 km or several kilometers, respectively.

某圆周缝型救生伞的充气性能研究

为获得新型圆周缝结构救生伞的充气性能,文章采用任意拉格朗日欧拉流固耦合方法对该救生伞进行了充气过程的数值模拟,用空投试验结果验证了该数值方法的可行性。数值结果得到了绕伞衣流场、伞衣外形、运动的动态信息,对数值结果的分析发现初始充气阶段后期流场对上部伞衣影响很大,为充气过程中上部伞衣的控制提供了依据,但是初始充气期救生伞的摆动角度小于充满期。对于结构透气量不对称设计的伞衣,不对称充气是绝对的,圆周缝会首先在结构透气量少的部位张开。结果表明,对不同的圆周缝节点设计不同的开缝力将有助于保持良好的对称充气状态,改变开缝力的设计参数将会改变圆周缝的开缝时间及圆周缝完全张开所需的时长,将达到更好的减载效果。研究结果对圆周缝型降落伞的优化设计有一定的参考作用。
