A low-orbit constellation deployment method based on Mars atmospheric assistance

Abstract

The invention discloses a low-orbit constellation disposition method based on assistance of martian atmosphere, and relates to a martian constellation disposition method under the martian atmosphere and a gravity system thereof. The low-orbit constellation disposition method belongs to the field of aeronautical and space technologies. According to the low-orbit constellation disposition method, a speed pulse which is applied for entering the atmosphere from an original orbit and a speed pulse that is applied for making an aircraft enter an objective orbit are solved through optimizing a control rate which satisfies an aerodynamic force requirement. A detector releases the carried aircraft at an apareon position and makes the aircraft enter the atmosphere through applying the speed pulse which is required for making the aircraft enter the atmosphere from the original orbit. In the atmosphere, aerodynamic-assisted orbit transferring is performed through optimizing the preset control rate. Furthermore the orbit of the aircraft is fixed to the objective orbit through applying the speed pulse which is required for making the aircraft enter the objective orbit. A plurality of constellation aircrafts are disposed to the objective tracks which correspond with the constellation aircrafts in a one-to-one manner, thereby realizing disposition of a whole constellation. The low-orbit constellation disposition method has advantages of low energy consumed in the disposition process, no rigid requirement for the objective orbit, and flexible disposition process.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a Mars constellation deployment method under the Martian atmosphere and its gravitational system, in particular to a low-orbit Mars constellation deployment method suitable for a Mars probe to deploy a small aircraft constellation to Mars, and belongs to the field of aerospace technology. Background technique [0002] A constellation is a collection of satellites deployed into orbit and can work normally. The Mars low-orbit constellation is a group of satellites distributed in the low orbit of Mars to achieve certain specific tasks. Mars is one of the eight planets in the solar system. Because it is closer to the earth and has a similar rotation period to the earth, it is considered to be the planet most likely to be colonized by humans in the future and has the most detection value. Among the eight planets, apart from the Earth, Mars is the first planet to be detected. By deploying constellations to Mars, not only can Mars be...
