Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of aerospace science and technology, in particular to a method and system for orbit correction of a space laser interference gravitational wave detector. Background technique [0002] Gravitational waves are a famous prediction of general relativity. On February 11, 2016, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) of the United States announced that it had successfully observed the gravitational waves generated by the merger of double black holes, labeled as GW150914, and the gravitational waves were confirmed by astronomical observations. However, limited by the noise of the ground system and the arm length, the ground-based gravitational wave detection system can only detect high-frequency gravitational wave signals. In order to detect the medium and low frequency gravitational waves produced by supermassive black hole mergers and other astronomical events, ESA and NASA proposed to joi...

However, there are still relatively few studies on orbit correction methods for space laser interferometric gravitational wave detectors

[0004] In the spacecraft orbit correction method proposed in the prior art, the focus is on the orbit correction control method without considering the calculation of the orbit correction amount. For the space laser interference gravitational wave detection task, the stability of the equilateral triangle configuration of the detector only needs to be guaranteed Within a certain range, there is no corresponding method to effectively correct the orbit of the space laser interference gravitational wave detector in the prior art
