Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of vacuum plume dynamic measurement, in particular to a target assembly and an aerodynamic measurement system suitable for millinew level vacuum plume. Background technique [0002] At present, the plume formed when the aerospace attitude and orbit control engine is working will have a force effect on the spacecraft, which will cause the attitude disturbance of the spacecraft. Therefore, only by accurately obtaining the aerodynamic parameters of the thruster during operation can the influence of the aerodynamic force of the thruster on the spacecraft be reduced or avoided, and the design and development of the spacecraft can be optimized. [0003] First of all, the thrust of the attitude and orbit control engine is relatively small, especially the electric thruster is only tens or hundreds of millinewtons, so the aerodynamic force generated during its operation is also very small, and the measurement of aero...

Problems solved by technology

If any target is used in the measurement of vacuum plume aerodynamics, the target itself or the force measurement equipment may fail due to high temperature, especially in the measurement of electric thrust vacuum plume aerodynamics, effects such as sputtering and sheath will be Affect the measurement of aerodynamic force, and it is possible that the entire measurement mechanism is non-electrically neutral during the measurement process, affecting the normal operation of the sensor
