Mission feasibility analysis on deflecting Earth-crossing objects using a power limited laser ablating spacecraft

This paper analyzes several mission capabilities to deflect Earth-crossing objects (ECOs) using a conceptual future spacecraft with a power limited laser ablating tool. A constrained optimization problem is formulated based on nonlinear programming with a three-dimensional patched conic method. System dynamics are also established, considering the target ECO’s orbit as being continuously perturbed by limited laser power. The required optimal operating duration and operating angle history of the laser ablating tool are computed for various types of ECOs to avoid an Earth impact. The available final warning time is also determined with a given limited laser power. As a result, detailed laser operating behaviors are presented and discussed, which include characteristics of operating duration and angle variation histories in relation to the operation’s start time and target object’s properties. The calculated durations of the optimal laser operation are also compared to those estimated with first-order approximations previous studies. It is discovered that the duration of the laser operation estimated with first-order approximations could result in up to about 50% error if the operation is started at the final warning time. The laser operation should be started as early as possible because an early start requires a short operating duration with a small operating angle variation. The mission feasibility demonstrated in the present study will give various insights into preparing future deflection missions using power limited spacecraft with a laser ablation tool.     

基于TDLAS的电弧风洞流场Cu组分监测

电弧风洞是进行防热材料和防热结构考核与研究的必要设备，也是高超声速地面试验能力的重要组成部分，但电弧加热器的电极烧蚀会导致较为严重的流场污染，影响试验准确性。利用可调谐二极管激光吸收光谱技术（TDLAS），通过对20 MW级片式电弧加热器内部流场中Cu原子809.25 nm跃迁谱线进行实时测量，研究了电弧风洞流场中Cu污染情况和电极烧蚀情况。在获得Cu原子该谱线低能态数密度基础上，估算了运行功率分别在7.3、8.7、10.0和11.7 MW时流场中Cu组分（原子态和离子态）总数密度平均为10.6×10¹³、11.2×10¹³、11.7×10¹³和16.4×10¹³ cm^-3，同时得到平均电极烧蚀率约为1.65×10^-5 g/C。试验还发现，TDLAS信号在高温流场建立阶段起伏变化明显，并且在功率跃变时也会出现突然增强而后迅速回落的现象，表明电弧抖动会使电极烧蚀严重加剧。     

机电产品安全风险评价模型研究

目前，我国的机电产品在其全寿命周期中基本上不做安全风险评价，一个重要的原因是缺乏有效的风险评价模型。为此，本文提出了一种适合于我国机电产品在设计阶段进行风险评价的通用模型。     

中国出口贸易多样性的度量及政策建议

首先对出口贸易多样性的度量方法进行了梳理和评述,同时利用BACI在1996~2010年间的贸易细分数据,从出口产品多样性和出口地区多样性的角度度量了中国出口贸易多样性及其变化趋势。实证测度结果表明：虽然中国出口产品种类有略微减少的趋势,但中国出口产品多样性水平却在不断提高;中国出口贸易伙伴的数量仍然在增加,但中国出口地区多样性在2000年以后呈现＂U型＂的变化趋势,且自2008年开始中国出口地区依赖的风险在上升。因此,进一步提升中国出口产品多样性和中国出口地区多样性,是未来中国深化对外经济开放的一个重要政策取向。     

激光功率密度对纳秒激光烧蚀冲量耦合影响的数值模拟

为研究激光功率密度对纳秒激光烧蚀冲量耦合影响,建立了一个复杂的一维热传导和流体动力学模型。以空间碎片常见材料Al为例,用建立的物理模型数值计算了纳秒脉宽激光烧蚀产生的冲量随时间变化情况,数值结果和已有的实验数据符合较好。数值计算表明:辐照的激光功率密度越高,发生等离子体屏蔽时间越早,等离子体屏蔽越明显,能量利用率越低;随着激光功率密度的逐渐增大,获得的冲量逐渐趋于稳定,冲量耦合系数降低,数值计算结果与Phipps的最优能量耦合规律一致。 

强激光对靶材烧蚀效应的数值模拟研究

强激光烧蚀是一个复杂的物理化学过程,包括质量迁移、相变、运动边界等诸多复杂因素。如果靶为复合材料,烧蚀机理更加复杂,而且很难找到共性规律,这对数值计算方法提出了较高的要求。文章介绍了强激光烧蚀的理论基础、烧蚀模型以及对强激光烧蚀进行数值模拟的无网格方法（光滑粒子动力学方法,即SPH方法）。采用了SPH方法对典型靶的激光烧蚀进行了数值模拟,并给出了单层铝靶和环氧树脂/铝双层靶在激光辐照下的烧蚀形貌与温度场。计算结果表明,在不同材料的交界面,烧蚀将沿径向发展。     

Design of a formation of solar pumped lasers for asteroid deflection

This paper presents the design of a multi-spacecraft system for the deflection of asteroids. Each spacecraft is equipped with a fibre laser and a solar concentrator. The laser induces the sublimation of a portion of the surface of the asteroid, and the resultant jet of gas and debris thrusts the asteroid off its natural course. The main idea is to have a formation of spacecraft flying in the proximity of the asteroid with all the spacecraft beaming to the same location to achieve the required deflection thrust. The paper presents the design of the formation orbits and the multi-objective optimisation of the formation in order to minimise the total mass in space and maximise the deflection of the asteroid. The paper demonstrates how significant deflections can be obtained with relatively small sized, easy-to-control spacecraft.
