分体组合式双自由度对日定向系统构型及布局设计

为解决空间站在不同的构型及飞行姿态下，因太阳入射角变化大引起的太阳电池翼难以对日定向的难题，提出分体组合式双自由度对日定向系统构型。研究空间站构型及飞行姿态，确定采用A轴与B轴2个轴独立运转、单独控制的对日定向方式，2个轴通过桁架结构实现正交连接。在梦天实验舱单舱飞行时，A轴不动，B轴根据轨道周期跟踪太阳，通过飞行器姿态调整补偿太阳入射角的变化。组合体飞行时，B轴补偿太阳高度角，A轴根据轨道周期带动B轴与太阳电池翼共同跟踪太阳，实现双自由度对日定向。在轨飞行结果表明:在不同的舱段构型及飞行姿态下，功率通道输出功率波动幅度由60%减小到7%，分体组合式双自由度对日定向系统构型能够适应空间站复杂的飞行工况。

Attitude control actuator scaling laws for orbiting solar reflectors

The rapid evolution of in-orbit manufacturing will enable the fabrication of low-cost, large-scale space structures. In particular, the use of 3D printing technologies will remove traditional payload constraints associated with launch vehicles, due to fairing size and launch loads, thus allowing the construction of larger and lighter structures, such as orbiting solar reflectors. These structures will require efficient attitude control systems, able to provide the necessary torque for maneuvers and to counteract perturbations, such as gravity gradient and solar radiation pressure. In this paper, a top-level overview of actuator performances for orbiting solar reflectors is provided, and scaling laws associated with the required actuator mass and input power are developed. For each class of actuator, upper bounds on the maximum size of the structure which can be effectively controlled are presented. The results can also be extended to other classes of large planar Earth-pointing structures such as solar power satellites, solar sails, or large antennae.     

First measurements of periodicities and anisotropies of cosmic ray flux observed with a water-Cherenkov detector at the Marambio Antarctic base

A new water-Cherenkov radiation detector, located at the Argentine Marambio Antarctic Base (64.24S-56.62 W), has been monitoring the variability of galactic cosmic ray (GCR) flux since 2019. One of the main aims is to provide experimental data necessary to study interplanetary transport of GCRs during transient events at different space/time scales. In this paper we present the detector and analyze observations made during one full year. After the analysis and correction of the GCR flux variability due to the atmospheric conditions (pressure and temperature), a study of the periodicities is performed in order to analyze modulations due to heliospheric phenomena. We can observe two periods: (a) 1 day, associated with the Earth’s rotation combined with the spatial anisotropy of the GCR flux; and (b) $～$ 30 days due to solar impact of stable solar structures combined with the rotation of the Sun. From a superposed epoch analysis, and considering the geomagnetic effects, the mean diurnal amplitude is $～$ 0.08% and the maximum flux is observed in $～$ 15 h local time (LT) direction in the interplanetary space. In such a way, we determine the capability of Neurus to observe anisotropies and other interplanetary modulations on the GCR flux arriving at the Earth.     

Novel orbit-attitude combination mode for solar power satellites to reduce mass and fuel

Solar power satellite receives great attention because it can release the energy crisis and environmental problems in the future. However, the launch and maintenance costs are tremendous due to the large system mass and large fuel consumption to counteract space perturbations. To reduce mass and fuel, a novel quasi-Sun-pointing attitude in Sun-frozen orbit is proposed. The Sun-frozen orbit has a nonzero eccentricity vector that always points towards the Sun. The quasi-Sun-pointing attitude is a periodic solution of the Sun-pointing attitude angle. Although about 3 % electricity must be given up because of the variation of Sun-pointing attitude angle, little control action is required to deal with the solar radiation pressure and gravity-gradient torque. The algorithm to obtain initial conditions is proposed. The influences of system parameters and structural flexibilities are studied. Simulation results reveal that the quasi-Sun-pointing attitude in Sun-frozen orbit dramatically reduce fuel consumption, the dry mass, and complexity of the control system. In addition, structural vibration is hardly induced by the gravity-gradient torque. Thus, the bending stiffness as well as the mass of the supporting structure can be reduced.     

载人航天器太阳翼多姿态输出能力建模及分析

载人航天器太阳翼在轨运行期间除正常对日定向转动外，根据飞行任务要求可能需要工作在α轴水平归零或垂直归零等特殊状态。在特殊工作模式下，太阳入射角和太阳翼的输出能力变化曲线更加复杂。建立太阳入射角与轨道角、太阳高度角、β轴转角等变量的数学模型，分析太阳入射角的变化规律，并结合光照区时长，建立太阳翼在轨输出能力的预测模型。与实际飞行数据相比较，表明该模型可较为准确地评估特殊工作模式下太阳翼的输出能力，可用于在轨整舱能量平衡分析，为飞行任务计划安排提供参考。     

临近空间太阳电池组件热力学特性仿真分析

临近空间飞行器依靠搭载的柔性太阳电池组件和储能电池组构成的能源系统,可在临近空间长期飞行和驻留,完成地面观测、无线通信、军事侦察等任务,因而成为各国航天航空领域发展的热点之一。由于太阳电池组件能量转化效率只有20%左右,大部分太阳光能量吸收后转化为热。这部分热传导到高空气球内部,将造成内部气流紊乱,增加高空气球姿态控制难度,而温度升高引起的热应力甚至可能破坏柔性太阳电池组件。本文通过计算机模拟太阳组件在高空气球蒙皮上的工作条件,建立组件结构模型及热传递数学模型,仿真得到电池组件实际工作时的温度场和应力场分布情况,对高空气球供电组件的结构优化、工作状态的掌握具有指导意义。
