Developing a Low-Velocity Collision Model Based on the Nasa Standard Breakup Model

We have conducted a series of low-velocity impact experiments to understand the dispersion properties of fragments newly created by low-velocity impacts possible in space, especially in geostationary Earth orbit. The test results are utilized to establish a mathematical prediction model to be used in debris generation and propagation codes. Since the expected collision velocity between catalogued objects in geostationary Earth orbit shows a peak at a few hundreds meters per second, these impact experiments were conducted at a velocity range lower than 300m/s. As a typical structure of satellites in geostationary Earth orbit, thin aluminum honeycomb sandwich panels with carbon fiber reinforced plastics face sheets were prepared, while the projectile was a stainless steel ball of 9mm diameter. The data collected through these impact experiments have been re-analyzed based on the method used in the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) standard breakup model 1998 revision. The results indicate that the NASA standard breakup model derived from hypervelocity impacts could be applied to low-velocity collision possible in geostationary Earth orbit with some modifications.

大气层外拦截器脉冲制导律

针对大气层外拦截器（EKV）轨控发动机垂直于体轴且导引头视场角极窄的特点,提出了一种采用固定推力发动机沿视线法向方向调整拦截弹速度矢量实施轨控的脉冲制导（PG）方法。制导开始时制导系统确定制导脉冲的施加时刻及制导脉宽,并引导制导系统选择轨控发动机执行;用施加修正制导脉冲的方式修正拦截双方地球引力加速度差对拦截效果的影响,并确定修正脉冲的施加时刻;选择修正制导脉冲施加时刻通过实施的脉冲修正方案消除末制导段的零控脱靶量。仿真结果表明：与修正的真比例导引制导相比,脉冲制导的能耗少、实施易,拦截过程中拦截双方的高度差越小,其拦截代价也越小。     

Constant thrust collision avoidance maneuver under thruster failure

In this paper, the collision avoidance maneuver under the chaser’s thruster failure in radial direction is investigated. First, based on the vision measurement, the relative position parameters of the target spacecraft are obtained and the target maneuvre positions are calculated through the isochronous interpolation method. Then, by using coupling effects, the thrusters working time intervals can be computed by the time series analysis method. The perturbations and fuel consumptions are addressed during the computation of the thrusters working time intervals. Next, the switching control law under constant thrust is designed for active collision avoidance maneuvres along a specified trajectory.     

幂律流体撞击射流破碎机理的实验

通过自行研制的撞击射流系统,采用高速摄像技术,对4种不同卡波姆质量分数剪切变稀的卡波姆凝胶非牛顿幂律流体在不同射流条件下撞击液膜的破碎模式、喷雾锥角、破碎长度进行实验与分析.结果表明:不同流变特性的幂律流体出现的破碎模式不同,黏度越高,破碎模式越复杂;4种卡波姆凝胶在韦伯数为8000左右时,达到完全发展模式,并在韦伯数为8000左右时表现出相似的破碎特性;随着韦伯数的增大,喷雾锥角逐渐增大并趋于稳定,稳定值小于撞击角度,当卡波姆质量分数增大时,最大喷雾锥角逐渐减小,最终收敛于60°;随着韦伯数的增大,4种卡波姆凝胶的破碎长度先小幅变大然后减小,理论结果与实验结果整体趋势相似.

Highly reliable relative navigation for multi-UAV formation flight in urban environments

Formation flight of multiple Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) is expected to bring significant benefits to a wide range of applications. Accurate and reliable relative position information is a prerequisite to safely maintain a fairly close distance between UAVs and to achieve inner-system collision avoidance. However, Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) measurements are vulnerable to erroneous signals in urban canyons, which could potentially lead to catastrophic consequences. Accordingly, on the basis of performing relative positioning with double differenced pseudoranges, this paper develops an integrity monitoring framework to improve navigation integrity (a measure of reliability) in urban environments. On the one hand, this framework includes a fault detection and exclusion scheme to protect against measurement faults. To accommodate urban scenarios, spatial dependence in the faults are taken into consideration by this scheme. On the other hand, relative protection level is rigorously derived to describe the probabilistic error bound of the navigation output. This indicator can be used to evaluate collision risk and to warn collision danger in real time. The proposed algorithms are validated by both simulations and flight experiments. Simulation results quantitatively reveal the sensitivity of navigation performance to receiver configurations and environmental conditions. And experimental results suggest high efficiency and effectiveness of the new integrity monitoring framework.
