Removing orbital debris with lasers

Orbital debris in low Earth orbit (LEO) are now sufficiently dense that the use of LEO space is threatened by runaway collision cascading. A problem predicted more than thirty years ago, the threat from debris larger than about 1 cm demands serious attention. A promising proposed solution uses a high power pulsed laser system on the Earth to make plasma jets on the objects, slowing them slightly, and causing them to re-enter and burn up in the atmosphere. In this paper, we reassess this approach in light of recent advances in low-cost, light-weight modular design for large mirrors, calculations of laser-induced orbit changes and in design of repetitive, multi-kilojoules lasers, that build on inertial fusion research. These advances now suggest that laser orbital debris removal (LODR) is the most cost-effective way to mitigate the debris problem. No other solutions have been proposed that address the whole problem of large and small debris. A LODR system will have multiple uses beyond debris removal. International cooperation will be essential for building and operating such a system.

一种利用剩磁标定的星光/磁测备份自主导航方法

针对空间机动平台GNSS导航系统易受干扰的缺陷,提出一种基于剩磁标定的磁测/星光备份的自主导航方案。当GNSS信号完好时,利用GNSS高精度测量信息和磁强计/星敏带剩磁干扰的联合测量信息不仅可实时估计出机动平台导航参数,同时准确标定出运行环境的剩余磁场强度;当GNSS信号受干扰中断时,在剩磁准确标定的基础上启用磁场/星光备份自主导航方案完成机动平台的导航参数实时估计。由仿真结果可知,当GNSS信号正常时该导航方案具备较高的剩磁标定精度,三轴标定误差为0.026nT,0.293nT,0.107nT;而当GNSS信号受干扰时,备份导航方案三轴位置估计误差为87.3m,172.5m,65.2m,三轴速度估计误差为0.78m/s,0.86m/s, 1.04m/s。 仿真结果表明该方案具备较强的可行性。     

Adaptive fuzzy terminal sliding mode control for the free-floating space manipulator with free-swinging joint failure

Space manipulator with free-swinging joint failure simultaneously contains kinematic and dynamic coupling relationships, so it belongs to a new underactuated system. To allow the manipulator to carry on tasks, an effective robust underactuated control method for the space manipulator with free-swinging joint failure is studied in this paper. Considering the effect of model uncertainty and joint torque disturbance, a robust underactuated control system based on the Terminal Sliding Mode Controller (TSMC) is designed, but two drawbacks are discussed: (A) Robustness depraves with eliminating chattering. (B) Control parameters are difficult to be determined under unknown uncertainty and disturbance. To improve the TSMC, the adaptive fuzzy controller is introduced to estimate the real effect of unknown uncertainty and disturbance according to deviations of sliding mode and its reaching law. The estimated result is directly compensated into active joints torque. In simulation, the space manipulator with free-swinging joint executes tasks based on the TSMC and the Adaptive Fuzzy Terminal Sliding Mode Controller (AFTSMC) respectively. Same tasks can be finished with smaller joints torque and stronger robustness based on the AFTSMC. Therefore, AFTSMC can serve as an effective robust control method for the space manipulator with free-swinging joint failure under unknown model uncertainty and torque disturbance.

空间DSP信息处理系统存储器SEU加固技术研究

当前以高性能DSP为核心的信息处理系统被广泛应用于空间飞行器电子系统 中。DSP系统为实现大数据量信息处理,通常需要扩展其外部存储器。而存储器件在空间应 用中容易发生单粒子翻转（SEU：Single Event Upset）,使得存储器件中数据发生改变, 从而导致系统计算结果错误,甚至可能导致系统功能失效。在介绍信息处理系统存储器件SE U机理的基础上,针对DSP信息处理系统存储器的结构特点,提出了一种基于“反熔丝型PROM +TMR加固设计FLASH+EDAC加固设计SRAM”结构的存储器SEU加固设计方案,并进行了原型实 现。实验分析表明该设计具有较好的抗SEU性能和较强的实时性,可以为同类型的空间信息 处理系统设计提供参考。
