The 3-step DLR–ESA Gossamer road to solar sailing

The 3-step Gossamer road map to solar sailing is presented that has been agreed between DLR and ESA in November 2009. The main and exclusive purpose of that project is to develop, to prove, and to demonstrate the solar sail technology as a safe and reliably manageable propulsion technique for long lasting and deep space missions. Since the development of the solar sail technology is quite a complex task, presently at the DLR implemented solar sail related research activities will be presented as well.     

空气喷气发动机试车台排气扩压器设计及试验研究

排气扩压器的作用是将发动机排出燃气的部分动能转换成压力能，真实模拟发动机排气反应和环境压力条件。它是高空台排气系统将被试发动机的高温高速燃气进行减速、降温、降低噪声，从而使燃气顺利地进入引射器（排气抽气设备）或排入大气的关键部件之一。排气扩压器的设计与被试发动机的合理配置至关重要。它与高空台的模拟高度、工作范围及节约能源等问题直接相关。所以必须综合考虑排气扩压器的设计问题。

A numerical optimization of high altitude testing facility for wind tunnel experiments

High altitude test facilities are required to test the high area ratio nozzles operating at the upper stages of rocket in the nozzle full flow conditions.It is typically achieved by creating the ambient pressure equal or less than the nozzle exit pressure.On average,air/GN2is used as active gas for ejector system that is stored in the high pressure cylinders.The wind tunnel facilities are used for conducting aerodynamic simulation experiments at/under various flow velocities and operating conditions.However,constructing both of these facilities require more laboratory space and expensive instruments.Because of this demerit,a novel scheme is implemented for conducting wind tunnel experiments by using the existing infrastructure available in the high altitude testing(HAT)facility.This article presents the details about the methods implemented for suitably modifying the sub-scale HAT facility to conduct wind tunnel experiments.Hence,the design of nozzle for required area ratio A/A*,realization of test section and the optimized configuration are focused in the present analysis.Specific insights into various rocket models including high thrust cryogenic engines and their holding mechanisms to conduct wind tunnel experiments in the HAT facility are analyzed.A detailed CFD analysis is done to propose this conversion without affecting the existing functional requirements of the HAT facility.

R3D-B2 – Measurement of ionizing and solar radiation in open space in the BIOPAN 5 facility outside the FOTON M2 satellite

Solar and space radiation have been monitored using the R3D-B2 radiation risks radiometer-dosimeter on board a recent space flight on the Russian satellite Foton M2 within the ESA Biopan 5 facility mounted on the outside of the satellite exposed to space conditions. The solar radiation has been assayed in four wavelength bands (UV-C, 170–280 nm, UV-B, 280–315 nm), UV-A (315–400 nm) and PAR (photosynthetic active radiation, 400–700 nm). The data show an increasing tumbling rotation of the satellite during the mission. The photodiodes do not show a cosine response to the incident light which has been corrected. After calibration of the signals using the extraterrestrial spectrum, doses have been calculated for each orbit, for each day and for the total mission as basic data for the biological material which has been exposed in parallel in the Biopan facility. Cosmic ionizing radiation has been monitored and separated in 256 deposited energy spectra, which were further used for determination of the absorbed dose rate and flux. Basic data tables were prepared to be used by other Biopan 5 experiments. The paper summarizes the results for the Earth radiation environment at the altitude (262–304 km) of the Foton M2 spacecraft. Comparisons with the predictions of NASA Earth radiation environment experimental models AE-8 and AP-8, and the PSB97 model are also presented, which calculate the fluxes of ionizing radiation from a simulation. AP-8 is a model for trapped radiation.

航空发动机过渡态试验进气压力线性自抗扰控制方法

航空发动机高空模拟试车台过渡态试验中进气控制系统受扰严重,常规方法难以有效提升进气压力控制品质,提出了一种基于线性自抗扰的进气压力控制方法。采用机理建模和系统辨识手段搭建高置信度进气仿真平台,设计线性自抗扰控制器,实现对发动机扰动影响的实时预估和补偿,形成具有主动抗扰机制的进气压力控制方法。考虑实际使用中存在控制器手/自动及控制器间的切换问题,设计实用型无扰切换方法。仿真环境下,将该方法与比例积分微分(PID)进行对比,结果显示进气压力最大偏离值由7.69kPa缩小至0.9kPa,且能够快速收敛趋于稳定,表明了该方法无需发动机信息即可实现进气压力的有效控制,通用性高,抗扰性优,能够大幅提升发动机过渡态试验中进气系统的调节品质。      

卫星导航陆基增强系统设备许可体系研究

陆基增强系统(GBAS)是支持飞机精密进近的下一代无线电导航设备。目前,在世界上安装GBAS和提供GBAS服务的机场越来越多。中国已经研制了首套卫星导航GBAS着陆系统,然而并没有通过相关设备的认证许可,未投入实际的运行使用。因此,本文在分析FAA和Eurocontrol对GBAS设备许可的基础上,提出了一套完整的卫星导航路基增强系统设备许可体系的方案,为进行设备的认证许可提供引导,使得整个地面子系统满足安装选址要求、地面和飞行测试对功能和性能的验证要求,保证地面设备子系统经过安装调试后能够达到理想的工作状态。设备许可体系在未来卫星导航技术的发展中发挥着广泛的指导作用,有利于设备的运行、发展和管理。
