Problems solved by technology

[0003] 1) The ground calculation is generally based on the satellite mass model and the estimated remaining propellant mass, and the mathematical model has certain uncertainties compared with the real situation in orbit;
[0004] 2) It needs to be operated in the way of satellite-earth circuit, and the ground measurement and control personnel are required to calculate and generate instructions, and the degree of autonomy of the satellite is not enough
[0006] 1) Or, the attitude disturbance of the satellite is large or the propellant consumption is large;
[0007] 2) Or, additional actuators or sensors need to be added, which increases the weight and complexity of the satellite and increases the cost;
[0008] 3) Or, only consider the moment of inertia, do not consider the influence of the product of inertia, the accuracy is limited

Embodiment 1

[0047] Define the mechanical system of the whole star: the origin O of the coordinate axis points to the center of mass of the satellite, the +X axis points to the east panel of the satellite, the +Y axis points to the south sailboard, and is parallel to the sailboard rotation axis, and the +Z axis forms the X axis and the Y axis Right-handed coordinate system, pointing in the direction of the satellite's back floor.

[0048] The scheme of diagonal layout of four electric thrusters is as follows: figure 1As shown, the four electric thrusters are all installed in the direction of the back floor of the whole star (-Z plane), and each electric thruster is connected to the back floor of the star through a vector adjustment mechanism. The four electric thrusters are arranged in a diagonal line, and their positions They are symmetrical in pairs with respect to the XOZ plane and the YOZ plane. Because the X-axis and Y-axis of the mechanical system divide the XOY plane into four inte...

specific Embodiment approach

[0049] During the position keeping process, the vector adjustment mechanism needs to be adjusted so that the thrust directions of the four electric thrusters all pass through the center of mass of the satellite, so as to avoid affecting the attitude of the satellite. Therefore, the specific embodiment of the present invention is as follows:

[0050] 1) if figure 2 As shown, the stop control window is designed for the position keeping strategy with one week as a control period unit. The weekly position keeping strategy is as follows: on the first day of each control cycle, the satellite conducts orbit measurement autonomously and formulates a position keeping strategy. During this period, the satellite does not perform position keeping control. During the remaining six days, the satellite performs position hold fire control several times per orbit. position hold ignition as figure 2 Shown: Each rail is divided into 2 time periods separated by 180 degrees. Usually, one time...

Abstract

A method for on-orbit calibration and compensation of the center of mass of an electric propulsion satellite, comprising steps: 1) After the satellite enters the geostationary orbit, it enters the position maintenance stage, stops all actuators on the star from controlling the attitude of the satellite, and maintains the position according to the weekly electric propulsion of the satellite. 2) Obtain the attitude angular velocity of the satellite at the start and end of the ignition of each electric thruster; 3) According to the attitude angular velocity of the satellite at the start and end of the ignition of each electric thruster obtained in step 2), determine the satellite center of mass offset 4) Use the satellite centroid offset determined in step 3) to update the satellite centroid. The method of the invention can autonomously compensate the position of the center of mass on the orbit, and the engineering technology is easy to realize. While improving the satellite's position assurance control effect, it also improves the satellite's autonomy.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an on-orbit calibration and compensation method for the centroid of an electric propulsion satellite, which is suitable for on-orbit determination of the centroid position of a spacecraft adopting four electric thrusters in a diagonally symmetrical layout, and attitude and orbit control based on the centroid position. Background technique [0002] Traditional satellite engineering mainly determines the position of the center of mass of the satellite through calculation, measurement and experiment on the ground, and writes the position information into the on-board software in the form of three-axis coordinates for the satellite control computer to call. However, the measurement error Existence, changes in the satellite space environment, satellite propellant consumption, and satellite configuration changes will all have an impact on the preset centroid position. way to rewrite the onboard computer. The disadvantages of traditi...
