The development of a Russian communication satellite of small class, operating in the geostationary and high-elliptical orbits

In 1994–1995 Lavochkin Association (Russia) together with the other enterprises in accordance with technical requirements of the Russian Space agency, developed a new Russian communication satellite of a small class that will operate in both the geostationary (GSO) and high-elliptical (HEO) orbits. This satellite may be injected into operational orbits using a SOYUZ-2 launch vehicle (LV) and a FREGAT upper stage (US) from Plesetsk and Baykonur space launch sites (SLS).The main reason for creating such a satellite was to decrease the cost of the support and development of the Russian communication geostationary satellites group.Russian satellites Horizont, Express, Ekran and Gals, which operate in GSO, are the basis of the space segment for communications, radio and TV broadcasting. All of these satellites are injected into GSO by the PROTON LV. PROTON is a launch vehicle of a heavy class. The use of a middle class LV instead of a heavy class will allow to reduce considerably the launch cost. The change of a heavy class LV to a LV of middle class determined one economic reason for this project. Besides, the opportunity to launch S/C into GSO from Russian Plesetsk SLS increases the independence of Russia in the domain of space communications, despite the presence of the contract with Kazachstan about the rent of Baykonur SLS. Finally, use of small satellites with a rather small number of transponders is more effective than the use of big satellites. It will allow also to increase a satellite group (by the launch of additional satellites) precisely in accordance to the development of the ground segment.     

Trapped proton fluxes measured on board LEO satellites in comparison with models

The proton fluxes from the low-Earth orbital satellites databases (NPOES-17 and CORONAS-F) were analyzed for the quiet geomagnetic period in April 2005. The satisfactory consent was found between the experimental and the AP8 model fluxes of the trapped protons with energy more than ∼10 MeV. At the same time, trapped proton fluxes with energy less than 10 MeV measured by LEO satellites were higher than the ones predicted by the AP8 model in the region of the SAA (drift shell L < 1.5).     

基于分布式星群的全相参雷达低副瓣波束形成设计方法

不同于地面稀布阵相参阵列雷达,分布式星群平台具有高速运动特性,相应地全相参合成效率受限于星间的空时频同步误差、波束指向误差等系统误差约束。提出了一种基于分布式星群的全相参雷达低副瓣波束形成设计方法。首先,从星群系统规模、星间安全距离、远场条件、探测链路等因素入手推导了有效探测距离区间。接着,给出了同步误差、波束指向误差以及卫星高速运动特性对全相参合成效率的定量影响评估方法。最后,利用空时频多维联合方法实现了低副瓣稳健波束形成,可有效增加无模糊视场范围,适用于实际星群规模有限的应用场景。仿真结果验证了所提算法的有效性。

瓦状塞式喷管冷流实验研究

为了掌握瓦状塞式喷管更多的特征，采用空气作为介质，对一瓦状塞式喷管进行了底部限流板、底部二次流及内喷管倾角对性能影响的冷流实验。研究结果表明：在低中空，底部压强一般比环境压强要低；塞式喷管底部加入二次流可以增加底部压强，但底部二次流对性能的影响在1％－2％以内，少量的二次流对增加性能的效果较好，而加入更多的二次流则效果有限；增大内管倾角，可以增大底部压强即增加底部推力，但存在一个最佳倾角，使最大效率最大；本次冷流实验的瓦状塞式喷管最高效率为96％，其高度补偿效果较为明显。
