Simulation software for the spiral trajectory of our Moon

At 4.56 Ga, the accretion of the slowly rotating Solar Nebula led to the formation of Sun and its Planets in the plane of disc of accretion. Moon was formed by accretion from a circumterrestrial disk of debris generated by the glancing angle impact of the young Earth by a Mars size planetary embryo at about 4.5 Ga at a distance of 15,000 km. The Moon since then has migrated to the present position of 384,400 km from the center of the Earth. In course of this outward migration it has slowed down the spin rate of Earth and caused the lengthening of diurnal day length from 5 h initially to 24 h presently. The basic mechanics of Earth–Moon System has been worked out and theoretical determination of lengthening of day curve is carried out. This theoretical lengthening of day curve is compared with the observed lengthening of day curve based on paleobotanical evidences, ancient tidalites and Australian Banded Iron Formation. There is a remarkable correspondence between the two curves except for intermittent deviations due to geographical and geophysical factors. Based on the theoretical curve of lengthening of day, an empirical formula for the lunar orbital radius expansion is determined. Based on this empirical formula, simulation software is developed that gives the correct evolution of the semi-major axis (a) of our Moon for any time span from the inception to the time chosen under study. For mathematical simplicity the system is considered to be a two body rotating system throughout its evolutionary history of 4.5 Gyrs. This simulation draws the Moon’s spiral trajectory from its inception to any subsequent epoch. The terminal epoch is an input to the simulation software to arrive at the spiral trajectory of the Moon from the inception to the given epoch. The basic mechanics of Earth–Moon System and this simulation can be generalized to lay the foundation of simulation software for any Planet–Satellite pair or any Sun-Planet pair in our Solar System or Star-Planet pair in any Extra-Solar System. The basic dynamics has been found to be valid for Star–Planet pair also. So this Simulation Methodology can as well be applied to study the migratory evolution of Gas Giants also.     

月球导航星座轨道的地球GNSS可见性评估

随着月球探索进入一个新的时代,为确保未来月球任务的实时高精度定位,大幅提高登月航天器的自主性,且减少对地球基站的依赖,选取合适的轨道构建月球导航星座,并且实现月球导航星座与地球GNSS的通信链路同步尤为重要。为评估月球导航星座轨道中卫星接收GNSS信号的性能,首先对椭圆形月球冻结轨道(ELFO)、近直线晕轨道(NRHO)、顺行圆形轨道(PCO)和低月球轨道(LLO)4种轨道进行仿真。然后基于天线方向图等指标仿真了GNSS卫星信号,并依据主旁瓣波束宽度和载噪比等仿真结果评估了4种不同轨道卫星对GNSS的可见性。结果表明,NRHO和ELFO对GNSS星座有较好的可视效果,最高可见时间占比达99.57%,保障了绝大部分时间内能够稳定接收GNSS信号,有助于实现月球导航星座轨道卫星的轨道和时钟校正,并保证轨道的定位性能。

月球探测器转移轨道的中途修正

月球探测器的中途制导指的是在其转移轨道中途对轨道进行修正，使其按预定轨道飞行。本文研究的中途修正问题是确定所需的速度修正脉冲，使探测器不断接近标称轨道，并以预定状态到达月球，完成预定的飞行任务。本文首先建立中途修正的模型，其中月球和太阳的位置由DE405得到。然后，采用精确的数值积分方法找出满足预定条件(近地点高度、近月点高度及转移时间)的转移轨道。以该轨道作为标称轨道，分析中途修正所需要的速度修正脉冲与发射入轨时的初始误差(近地点速度误差、入轨高度误差、发射窗口误差等)和修正时刻的关系。最后分析两次中途修正的速度修正脉冲和修正时刻的关系，并得出适合的中途修正时刻。     

月球卫星的精密定轨

发射月球卫星是探测月球的一个重要途径,而且为了找水,多采用极轨方式.由于作为中心天体的月球与地球有所不同,导致月球卫星的运动及其相应的轨道摄动解亦有明显差异.在这种背景下,本文选择采用一组适用于0≤e<1和0°≤i<180°的无奇点根数、充分利用数值法和分析法各自特点的定轨方法,给出月球卫星的精密定轨方案,并以测距的模拟资料进行了实算,计算结果与理论分析相符,有实用前景.

非结构化环境下月球车快速即时定位与制图方法

激光雷达的实时环境扫描与已构建环境模型之间的匹配是月球车即时定位与制图(SLAM)过程中的关键步骤,其收敛速度和准确性直接决定了SLAM的成败。月球表面是一种典型非结构化环境,其环境场景特征复杂。若通过三维激光匹配方式则传感器数据量大,特征匹配的难度高,实时性差。针对于此,本文提出了一种基于ICP算法的激光点扫描匹配方法－类等高线匹配方法,将二维激光雷达的实时扫描数据与已构建的三维环境高程图相匹配,利用RBPF粒子滤波实现位姿与地图状态的估计,采用自行研制的小型激光雷达硬件平台,较好地实现了月球车原理样机的快速SLAM过程。实验表明,基于该方法的即时定位与制图过程对于月球车位姿估计的鲁棒性强,实时性好。
