Motion prediction of a non-cooperative space target

Capturing a non-cooperative space target is a tremendously challenging research topic. Effective acquisition of motion information of the space target is the premise to realize target capture. In this paper, motion prediction of a free-floating non-cooperative target in space is studied and a motion prediction algorithm is proposed. In order to predict the motion of the free-floating non-cooperative target, dynamic parameters of the target must be firstly identified (estimated), such as inertia, angular momentum and kinetic energy and so on; then the predicted motion of the target can be acquired by substituting these identified parameters into the Euler’s equations of the target. Accurate prediction needs precise identification. This paper presents an effective method to identify these dynamic parameters of a free-floating non-cooperative target. This method is based on two steps, (1) the rough estimation of the parameters is computed using the motion observation data to the target, and (2) the best estimation of the parameters is found by an optimization method. In the optimization problem, the objective function is based on the difference between the observed and the predicted motion, and the interior-point method (IPM) is chosen as the optimization algorithm, which starts at the rough estimate obtained in the first step and finds a global minimum to the objective function with the guidance of objective function’s gradient. So the speed of IPM searching for the global minimum is fast, and an accurate identification can be obtained in time. The numerical results show that the proposed motion prediction algorithm is able to predict the motion of the target.     

Simultaneous observations of some unusual whistlers and VLF hiss emission at a low L-value (L = 1.17)

The purpose of this paper is to describe some unusual whistlers (doublets and triplets) and VLF hiss emission recorded simultaneously on February 18, 1998 during nighttime at a low latitude Indian ground station Jammu (geomag. lat., 22° 26′ N; L = 1.17), and to make some discussions about their origin. The detailed structures of the observed VLF hiss emission clearly show that these emissions confined to a narrow continuous frequency band. Some times the frequency of hiss band oscillates and subsequently touches the upper edge of the first whistler component of the doublet. Detailed structures of the dynamic spectra of whistler and VLF hiss emission are briefly presented. From the dispersion analysis of the whistler doublets and triplets, it is found that the individual whistlers of the doublets and triplets simultaneously observed on the same day are one-hop whistlers having propagation path along higher and closely spaced L-values. Our result also shows that VLF hiss has been generated in the equatorial region of higher L-values. Generation and propagation mechanisms are briefly discussed.

Cosmic ray anisotropy based on Yakutsk station in real time

The method has been developed to calculate galactic cosmic ray anisotropy parameters by using on-line data of the neutron monitor 24-NM-64 and muon telescope at the Yakutsk station. The preliminary analysis shows that characteristic changes in the anisotropy parameters caused by the first spherical harmonics of cosmic ray angular distribution are observed 1–2 days before the onset of the most part of large-scale geophysical disturbances on the Earth. There is reason to believe that the attraction of data of geophysical observations of other kinds will allow to develop the forecast methods for the arrival of large-scale interplanetary disturbances at the Earth.

Impact of local and global factors and meteorological parameters in temporal variation of atmospheric potential gradient

In this research work, we have performed comparative diurnal variations of atmospheric Potential Gradient (PG) of fair-weather days by using the data of three stations installed in Northern, Pakistan for the year 2018. We investigated the impact of both local and global factors and meteorological parameters in the diurnal variation of atmospheric Potential Gradient on the annual and seasonal time scale. We observed two peaks, primary and secondary. This is because of the land-based measurements of annual and seasonal variations. The annual average curve of Potential Gradient of all three stations: Islamabad (CES), Muzaffarabad (MZF), and Balakot (BKT) demonstrated a notable deviation from the standard oceanic Carnegie curve. The atmospheric Potential Gradient variations are due to numerous meteorological factors e.g., air pollution, humidity, aerosol particles, fog, and temperature. Among three stations, the MZF station is located in highland (mountainous) and it demonstrated a higher atmospheric Potential Gradient. We further differentiate the results of our three stations with global results for authenticity and observed coherence between them. In addition, a positive correlation of fair-weather Potential Gradient is observed with temperature and a notable correlation between relative humidity and atmospheric Potential Gradient for all the three observatories.     

Simulator of pyroshock environment and effect rules of its adjustable parameters

During the launching of spacecraft, the on-board devices will undergo a series of pyroshock environments. In order to verify the reliability of these devices under these pyroshock environments, all of them are needed to take the shock test before launching. This paper has carried out an in-depth research on the simulation method of the pyroshock based on the true explosive excitation. In this study, a simulator containing multiple adjustment parameters is presented and the safety is considered by the design of the protective cover. And the working process of this setup is simulated with the explicit dynamic codes LS-DYNA. What’s more, the effects of the adjustment parameters on the three factors of shock Response Spectrum (SRS) of the resonant board are explored carefully. The rules achieved in this paper are verified by a typical example. The results indicate that the improved simulator can avoid the danger of explosive and make full use of the advantage of actual explosive excitation. And the test condition can be quickly realized at the simulator according to the effect rules of the three adjustable parameters.     

凹槽参数对通气空泡融合的影响

水下航行体通气技术形成的空泡能够有效降低航行阻力并调节运动姿态,但通气空泡在航行体表面不易融合,空泡形态不稳定,因此开展通气空泡的融合控制具有重要工程应用价值。采用有限体积法进行数值计算,研究了航行体孔后开槽对通气空泡融合的控制作用,并探究了不同凹槽参数对通气空泡融合的影响。研究发现,凹槽改变了空泡的流场特性,槽内产生的旋涡卷吸流经凹槽的气体,使槽内气体向航行体周向发展并融合;当槽宽取0.125D,孔槽间距取0.075D时,对空泡融合的促进以及稳压效果最佳。
