Abstract

The invention discloses a method for rapidly designing and optimizing a low-thrust transfer orbit. The method comprises the steps as follows: an inverse sextic polynomial method is introduced as an initial design, a high-performance optimal parameter initial value is provided for follow-up accurate optimization, and the calculating time of an entire optimizing process is reduced; a Radau legendre pseudospectral method is adopted to parameterize a low-thrust transfer orbit optimization problem into a nonlinear programming problem, not only is the number of the optimization parameters reduced, but also the accuracy of an optimization result is improved; and tedious first-order optimal necessary conditions are not needed to be deduced, even though the low-thrust transfer orbit containing various complicated constrains are processed, the operation is also convenient and simple. The method for rapidly designing and optimizing the low-thrust transfer orbit has an extremely important application value in the field of the design and optimization of transfer orbits of low-thrust propulsion spacecraft such as solar sail propulsion, solar energy electric propulsion, and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of deep space exploration, and in particular relates to a method for quickly designing and optimizing a small-thrust transfer orbit. Background technique [0002] Orbit design and optimization is one of the key issues that must be solved for human beings to carry out deep space exploration activities. Low-thrust orbit design and optimization methods are mainly divided into indirect method, direct method and hybrid method. The traditional indirect method needs to derive cumbersome first-order optimal necessary conditions and guess the initial value of the costate variable without actual physical meaning, and the convergence region of this method is very narrow, and the sensitivity to the initial value is high. Therefore, the operation of the indirect method is more difficult. The traditional hybrid method also needs to derive cumbersome first-order optimal necessary conditions. In particular, when constrai...
