基于Modelica的载人航天器环热控系统建模仿真

为了给载人航天器乘员营造一个良好的生活工作环境,需要将众多空气环境参数控制在指标范围内。文章结合载人航天器专业知识,基于Modelica统一建模语言建立了一种载人航天器环热控系统仿真分析模型;利用该模型仿真分析了温湿度控制风机取不同转速时,载人航天器空气环境参数随乘员代谢水平的变化趋势。结果表明:在其他参数不变的情况下,温湿度控制风机转速越大,空气温度越低,相对湿度越高;乘员代谢水平变化对空气环境参数有显著影响,通过调节系统运行参数可将各空气参数有效控制在指标范围内。舱体温度与氧分压、二氧化碳分压、舱体相对湿度有密切关系且相互影响,不可单独分析。     

High energy-density propulsion—reducing the risk to humans in planetary exploration

The potential benefits to humankind of space exploration are tremendous. Space is not only the final frontier but is also the next marketplace. The orbital space above Earth offers tremendous opportunities for both strategic assets and commercial development. The critical obstacle retarding the use of the space around the Earth is the lack of low cost access to orbit. Further out, the next giant leap for mankind will be the human exploration of Mars. Almost certainly within the next 30 years, a human crew will brave the isolation, the radiation, and the lack of gravity to walk on and explore the Red planet. Both of these missions will change the outlook and perspective of every human being on the planet. However, these missions are expensive and extremely difficult. Chemical propulsion has demonstrated an inability to achieve orbit cheaply and is a very high-risk option to accomplish the Mars mission. An alternative solution is to develop a high performance propulsion system. Nuclear propulsion has the potential to be such a system. The question will be whether humanity is willing to take on the challenge.     

基于改进RRT算法的无人机航路规划与跟踪方法研究

为了使航路规划算法在三维动态环境下能够快速规划出较优可行航路,基于快速扩展随机树算法(RRT),对规划航路点进行了无人机飞行动力学约束,并且设计了局部航路动态优化策略。针对传统的航路跟踪控制律跟踪较为曲折的航线时跟踪误差较大的问题,通过将规划算法得出的姿态指令引入姿态控制回路的方式,提高了航路跟踪控制算法的快速性与准确性。在此基础上,搭建了无人机验证平台,利用该验证平台完成了无人机自主避障飞行试验,对算法的有效性进行了验证,并对算法性能进行了评估。     

锦纶材料空间环境适应性研究

为研究锦纶材料在长寿命在轨航天器中的环境适应性,提出了锦纶材料在空间环境使用的空间环境适应性评价指标,设计并实施了空间环境适应性评价试验。试验结果表明,锦纶材料在燃烧性能、逸出有害气体、真空质损和可凝挥发物、抗菌防霉、耐受交变温度、电离辐射中表现出友好的环境适应性。锦纶材料在受到空间环境中原子氧、紫外辐射作用时断裂强力明显下降,且原子氧与紫外辐照协同效果对锦纶材料的力学性能破坏具有加强效果。锦纶材料可作为空间舱内环境长期使用材料,在舱外环境使用时,需要特别考虑其力学特性受到原子氧、紫外辐照的影响。

Roadmap to a human Mars mission

We propose a new roadmap for the preparation of the first human mission to Mars. This proposal is based on the work of ISECG and several recent recommendations on human Mars mission architectures. A table is proposed to compare the possible benefits of different preparatory missions. Particular attention is paid to the possibility of qualifying important systems thanks to a heavy Mars sample return mission. It is shown that this mission is mandatory for the qualification of Mars aerocapture at scale-1, EDL systems at scale 1 and Mars ascent. Moreover, it is a good opportunity to test many other systems, such as the heavy launcher and the transportation systems for the trips beyond LEO. These tests were not mentioned in the last ISECG report. This strategy is facilitated in the case of the simplified Mars mission scenarios that have recently been presented because it is suggested that relatively small vehicles with small crew sizes are used in order to optimize the payload mass fraction of the landing vehicles and to avoid the LEO assembly. An important finding of the study is that a human mission to the surface of the Moon is not required for the qualification of the systems of a human mission to Mars. Since affordability is a key criterion, two important missions are proposed in the roadmap. The first is a heavy Mars sample return mission and the second is a manned mission to a high Earth orbit or eventually to the vicinity of the Moon. It is shown that both missions are complementary and sufficient to qualify all the critical systems of the Mars mission.
