Inflatable shape changing colonies assembling versatile smart space structures

Various plants have the ability to follow the sun with their flowers or leaves during the course of a day via a mechanism known as heliotropism. This mechanism is characterised by the introduction of pressure gradients between neighbouring motor cells in the plant?s stem, enabling the stem to bend. By adapting this bio-inspired mechanism to mechanical systems, a new class of smart structures can be created. The developed overall structure is made up of a number of cellular colonies, each consisting of a central pressure source surrounded by multiple cells. After launch, the cellular arrays are deployed in space and are either preassembled or alternatively are attached together during their release or afterwards. A central pressure source is provided by a high-pressure storage unit with an integrated valve, which provides ingress gas flow to the system; the gas is then routed through the system via a sequence of valve operations and cellular actuations, allowing for any desired shape to be achieved within the constraints of the deployed array geometry. This smart structure consists of a three dimensional adaptable cellular array with fluid controlling Micro Electromechanical Systems (MEMS) components enabling the structure to change its global shape. The proposed MEMS components include microvalves, pressure sensors, mechanical interconnect structures, and electrical routing. This paper will also give an overview of the system architecture and shows the feasibility and shape changing capabilities of the proposed design with multibody dynamic simulations. Example applications of this lightweight shape changing structure include concentrators, mirrors, and communications antennas that are able to dynamically change their focal point, as well as substructures for solar sails that are capable of steering through solar winds by altering the sails? subjected area.

BLKF方法抑制MEMS惯性传感器随机噪声

针对微机电系统（MEMS）惯性传感器应用卡尔曼滤波（KF）处理数据时随机噪声难以估计的缺点,提出一种基于贝叶斯拉普拉斯卡尔曼滤波（BLKF）的随机噪声更新方法。该方法利用拉普拉斯近似算法,将贝叶斯边缘分布近似表示,能够避免贝叶斯方法更新过程中由于数据维数较大造成后验边缘分布较难估计的情况,提高对随机噪声的更新效率和精度。通过陀螺仪转台实验采集实验数据,运用KF与BLKF分别滤波。对比滤波结果可发现,BLKF比KF能更好地反映真实角速度状态。同时,在陀螺仪角速度变化时,BLKF的可靠性和准确性更高,滤波效果更具优势,能够达到抑制MEMS惯性传感器随机噪声的目的。     

基于增益在线辨识的微机电陀螺 标度因数补偿技术研究

标度因数温度稳定性是微机电陀螺的关键指标之一,是评价陀螺温度性能的重要依据。推导并分析了温度对陀螺标度因数的影响,指出驱动模态振动位移、检测通路电路增益及两模态频差是影响陀螺标度因数温度稳定性的3个重要因素,测试了对标度因数影响较大的电路增益和频差在温度变化条件下的变化。对此设计了基于增益在线辨识技术的标度因数温度补偿方案并进行了数值及宏模型仿真,通过在驱动端和检测端施加一远离陀螺工作频率的辅助信号实时辨识出电路的增益变化,进而进行增益补偿,同时对陀螺频差变化带来的影响也进行了补偿。仿真结果表明该方法能够大幅提高陀螺标度因数的温度稳定性,由未补偿下的7.93×10~(-4)/℃降至1.0×10~(-5)/℃以内,改善幅度达98%以上。

RF communications subsystem for the Radiation Belt Storm Probes mission

The NASA Radiation Belt Storm Probes (RBSP) mission, currently in Phase B, is a two-spacecraft, Earth-orbiting mission, which will launch in 2012. The spacecraft's S-band radio frequency (RF) telecommunications subsystem has three primary functions: provide spacecraft command capability, provide spacecraft telemetry and science data return, and provide accurate Doppler data for navigation. The primary communications link to the ground is via the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory's (JHU/APL) 18 m dish, with secondary links to the NASA 13 m Ground Network and the Tracking and Data Relay Spacecraft System (TDRSS) in single-access mode. The on-board RF subsystem features the APL-built coherent transceiver and in-house builds of a solid-state power amplifier and conical bifilar helix broad-beam antennas. The coherent transceiver provides coherency digitally, and controls the downlink data rate and encoding within its field-programmable gate array (FPGA). The transceiver also provides a critical command decoder (CCD) function, which is used to protect against box-level upsets in the C&DH subsystem. Because RBSP is a spin-stabilized mission, the antennas must be symmetric about the spin axis. Two broad-beam antennas point along both ends of the spin axis, providing communication coverage from boresight to 70°. An RF splitter excites both antennas; therefore, the mission is designed such that no communications are required close to 90° from the spin axis due to the interferometer effect from the two antennas. To maximize the total downlink volume from the spacecraft, the CCSDS File Delivery Protocol (CFDP) has been baselined for the RBSP mission. During real-time ground contacts with the APL ground station, downlinked files are checked for errors. Handshaking between flight and ground CFDP software results in requests to retransmit only the file fragments lost due to dropouts. This allows minimization of RF link margins, thereby maximizing data rate and thus data volume.
