太阳电池阵布局对微小卫星结构特性影响

通过对比某型号微小卫星两种体装式太阳电池阵布局及连接方式,从结构响应灵敏度的角度分析了结构的阻尼对整星顶板太阳敏感器测点加速度响应的影响程度。同时对两种方案整星的正弦振动试验结果对比分析,结果显示:减少侧板固定连接点且增加电池片数量的方案使其顶板部分测点响应超出了设备试验条件,且比初始设计方案测点的响应高出了27.1%,纵向和横向一阶频率均有不同程度的降低。因此,从结构特性的角度来看,初始设计方案更为合理。

Low latitude nighttime ionospheric vertical E × B drifts at African region

The nighttime vertical E × B drifts velocities of the F2-region were inferred from the hourly hmF2 values obtained from ionosonde data over an African equatorial station, Ilorin (8.50^oN, 4.68^oE; dip lat. 2.95^o) during period of low solar activity. For each season, the plasma drift Vz is characterized by an evening upward enhancement, then by a downward reversal at 1900 LT till around 0000 LT, except for June solstice. This was explained using the Rayleigh–Taylor (R-T) instability mechanism. The occasional drift differences in Vz obtained by inferred and direct measurement over Ilorin and Jicamarca, respectively are reflective of the importance of chemistry and divergent transport system due to both the E region electric and magnetic fields instead of simple motions. The pre-reversal enhancement (PRE) magnitude is higher during the equinoctial months than the solsticial months over Jicamarca, highest during December solstice and the equinoctial months over Ilorin, suggesting the dominance of higher E × B fountain during equinoxes at both stations. The lowest PRE magnitude was in June solstice. The appearance of post-noon peak in NmF2 around 1700 LT is highest during the equinoctial months and lowest during the solsticial period. A general sharp drop in NmF2 around 1800 LT is distinct immediately after sunset, lowest during June solstice and highest in March equinox. Our result suggests that between 0930 and 2100 LT, the general theory that vertical drifts obtained by digisonde measurements only match the E × B drift if the F layer is higher than 300 km is reliable, but does not hold for the nighttime period of 2200–0600 LT under condition of solar minima. Hence, the condition may not be sufficient for the representation of vertical plasma drift at nighttime during solar minima. This assertion may still be tentative, as more equatorial stations needed to be studied for better confirmation.

CubeSail: A low cost CubeSat based solar sail demonstration mission

CubeSail is a nano-solar sail mission based on the 3U CubeSat standard, which is currently being designed and built at the Surrey Space Centre, University of Surrey. CubeSail will have a total mass of around 3 kg and will deploy a 5 × 5 m sail in low Earth orbit. The primary aim of the mission is to demonstrate the concept of solar sailing and end-of-life de-orbiting using the sail membrane as a drag-sail. The spacecraft will have a compact 3-axis stabilised attitude control system, which uses three magnetic torquers aligned with the spacecraft principle axis as well as a novel two-dimensional translation stage separating the spacecraft bus from the sail. CubeSail’s deployment mechanism consists of four novel booms and four-quadrant sail membranes. The proposed booms are made from tape-spring blades and will deploy the sail membrane from a 2U CubeSat standard structure. This paper presents a systems level overview of the CubeSat mission, focusing on the mission orbit and de-orbiting, in addition to the deployment, attitude control and the satellite bus.

倾斜轨道航天器太阳翼对日跟踪方法探讨

目前我国大多数低轨道航天器均采用太阳同步轨道,但随着科学应用领域需求的不断增长,许多任务提出采用倾斜轨道对实现某种特定的任务目标具有更多的优势。但太阳翼光照条件恶劣在一定程度上制约了对倾斜轨道的应用。文章以此为背景对倾斜轨道航天器在轨光照特性进行深入分析,并在此基础上分别提出惯性定向和对地定向两种航天器太阳翼对日跟踪的若干种方法,并模拟在轨受照环境对其进行了仿真。结果表明,文章提出的若干种跟踪方案能够很好地改善太阳翼的光照条件,至少与地方时上午10点钟太阳同步轨道相当,甚至可以实现垂直跟踪。提出的思路与方法可为长寿命倾斜轨道航天器的总体设计提供参考。
