Sumbandilasat—An operational technology demonstrator

Technology advances in sensor, digital technology and a standardised modular satellite bus are enabling a new generation of 80 kg micro-satellites with a better than 6.5 m GSD multi-spectral performance, to be specified, built and deployed with a dedicated launch within 12 months. The result of the standardised modular bus is lower cost, higher reliability and fast deployment. Operational remote sensing with a micro-satellite is thus within reach of individual organisations for dedicated missions. Sumbandilasat (pioneer in the Venda language) is a second generation satellite technology building on the expertise obtained in the Sunsat small satellite programme. The components used to build Sumbandilasat are the result of a technology development program of more than 3 years. Sumbandilasat is an operational technology demonstrator with more than 90% newly developed or improved subsystems and a compact refractive imager as a precursor to the MSMISat satellite with the same multi-spectral band set. The scalable, standardised modular satellite bus architecture enables satellites with a mass of 80–450 kg to be adapted to the specific mission requirements with minimum new engineering effort.

切向结构永磁同步电机中磁钢厚度对性能的影响

提出了切向结构永磁同步电机中磁钢厚度的约束条件;依据电机学理论并结合有限元计算方法,研究了气隙长度恒定时不同极对数下气隙磁密、每极磁通与磁钢厚度的关系,探讨了磁钢厚度对电机的过载能力、铁耗等性能的影响;在气隙长度发生变化时,为了保证漏磁大小不变,讨论了气隙与非导磁衬套厚度、磁钢厚度的关系。并指出:(1)气隙恒定时,随着磁钢厚度的增加,不同极对数时磁钢体积增大所提供的磁势对每极磁通的影响有所不同;铁耗和过载能力随磁钢厚度的增加而增大。(2)气隙增大时,为了保证气隙磁密和漏磁不变,必须增加非导磁衬套的厚度。(3)极对数增加时,减小磁钢厚度能提高电机的性价比。     

电子干扰对低可观测飞行器飞行路径规划的影响

为了提高巡航导弹的低空突防能力,在分析电子干扰对雷达网威胁区域的影响后认为:在多重干扰条件下,雷达探测空间会顺着干扰方向产生内凹和偏移,因此,建立了新的雷达探测空间模型.采用空间对象间拓扑关系推理方法建立了飞行器飞行路径规划目标函数中雷达威胁指数模型,然后改进了飞行器飞行路径规划模型,并在此基础上进行了巡航导弹飞行路径规划的软件仿真.仿真结果表明:考虑电子干扰对雷达威胁区域的影响情况下规划的飞行路径能够回避雷达威胁,有效提高飞行器低空突防能力.

小推力航天器的地月低能转移轨道

 在限制性四体模型下研究基于小推力方式的地月低能转移问题,通过借助于平动点轨道的相空间结构来揭示小推力转移的机理。重点研究了小推力转移自由飞行段的构造：经由LL₁点穿越获得最小能量的低能转移;而经由LL₁点Halo轨道穿越,得到(M,N)圈穿越轨道;由于Halo轨道相对于平动点增加了一维度的选择,根据(2,2)圈穿越轨道构造该转移的自由飞行段。在地球势阱逃逸和月球势阱捕获段,分别设计了合适的小推力的控制律及发动机开/关机时间,成功实施近地球段的小推力加速和近月球段的减速。尽管未对所得到的结果进行优化,所得转移轨道的燃料消耗也与类似边界条件的SMART-1轨道基本一致。

Air-LUSI: A robotic telescope design for lunar spectral measurements

This paper presents the mechanical design of a new robotic telescope that was designed and built to acquire lunar spectral measurements from the science pod of NASA's ER-2 aircraft while flying at an altitude of 70,000 feet (21.34 km). The robotic telescope used a double gimbal design that allowed for target tracking in azimuth and elevation. In addition to the challenging and restrictive geometry of the science pod, each component needed to be carefully selected to ensure that they could withstand the operating conditions at high altitude such as harsh temperatures extending as low as −54 °C and atmospheric pressure less than 1.05 psi (7.23 kPa). Due to the cold temperatures, low atmospheric pressure and the likely exposure to moisture, high strength industrial linear actuators were used to create an adjustable linkage system that controlled the pointing and tracking of the telescope. Although unconventional, this allowed for a robust design that outperformed the team's expectations by tracking the Moon for 40 min with an average tracking error under 0.05°. The results presented within this paper were acquired during a first set of engineering test flights, with further scientific missions to follow.
