[0047] A satellite attitude and orbit integrated control method for a step-length control thruster comprises the following steps:
[0048] Step 1: Assume that the satellite's center of mass coordinate system is 0-XYZ. The satellite's six thrusters are installed on the bottom surface parallel to the three planes XOY, XOZ, and YOZ. The thruster nozzles can generate thrust in different directions by rotating the meshing mechanism to achieve the purpose of orbit and attitude adjustment.
[0049] Step 2: When the satellite needs to perform orbital attitude control, according to the target orbit or attitude, select the appropriate thruster, adjust the rack position, push the gear to rotate, and drive the thruster nozzle to rotate through the key fixed to the gear to make it face the predetermined position. By controlling the power-on step length, the orbit change or attitude adjustment is completed;
[0050] Step 3: According to step 2, the number of steps of the stepping drive motor 16 is adjusted to drive the rack 8 to rotate, push the rack 8 to extend and retract, and drive the corresponding rotating gear to rotate, thereby adjusting the nozzle angle;
[0051] Step 4: When the satellite is to be accelerated in the X-axis direction to change its orbit, according to step 3, the nozzle directions of the first thruster 2 and the second thruster 3 are adjusted so that they generate thrust in the same direction as the X-axis;
[0052] Step 5: When the satellite is to be accelerated in the Y-axis direction to change its orbit, according to step 3, the nozzle directions of the third thruster 4 and the fourth thruster 5 are adjusted so that they generate thrust in the same direction as the Y-axis;
[0053] Step 6: When the satellite is to be accelerated in the Z-axis direction to change its orbit, according to step 3, the nozzle directions of the fifth thruster 6 and the sixth thruster 7 are adjusted so that they generate thrust in the same direction as the Z-axis;
[0054] Step 7: When the satellite needs to continue to generate thrust to change its orbit, the thruster in the axial direction of the orbit change is turned on to generate thrust and generate acceleration to change the satellite's orbit;
[0055] Step 8: When the satellite is to rotate around the X-axis and its roll angle changes, according to step 3, the nozzle directions of the first thruster 2 and the second thruster 3 are adjusted to be parallel to the YOZ plane, and thrust is applied to generate torque to make the satellite roll;
[0056] Step 9: When the satellite is to rotate around the Y axis and its yaw angle changes, according to step 3, the nozzle directions of the third thruster 4 and the fourth thruster 5 are adjusted to be parallel to the XOZ plane, and thrust is applied to generate torque to make the satellite yaw;
[0057] Step 10: When the satellite is to rotate around the Z axis and its pitch angle changes, according to step 3, the nozzle directions of the fifth thruster 6 and the sixth thruster 7 are adjusted to be parallel to the XOY plane, and thrust is applied to generate torque to make the satellite pitch;
[0058] Step 11: The above steps 4-10 are all thrust angles at the angles required for large-angle maneuvers. After the attitude change, the speed needs to be unloaded. The nozzle rotation angle can be adjusted to 90°-180° for unloading;
[0059] Step 12: Adjust the angle of the nozzle according to the required course and posture, as shown in the following table:
[0060]
[0061] Step 13: When the satellite changes its orbit about a certain axis, Newton's second law gives: 2F = ma, where F is the thrust generated by a single engine, m is the mass of the satellite, and a is the acceleration of the satellite. The relationship between velocity and acceleration gives: Δv = aΔt, where Δv is the increase in velocity and Δt is the time step of the engine operation.
[0062] From the law of universal gravitation and periodic motion we know: Where V is the velocity of the satellite, G is the gravitational constant (G≈6.67×10 -11 m 3 kg -1 s -2 ), M is the mass of the Earth, R is the radius of the Earth, and r is the orbital height, so From this, the time control step length Δt required for the orbit change height Δr can be calculated;
[0063] Step 14: When the satellite rotates around a certain axis, the torque generated on the axis is: M = 2Fsinα×L, where F is the thrust generated by the engine, α is the angle at which the engine is opened, and L is the distance from the center of mass to the thrust axis plane;
[0064] From the torque control equation in the body coordinate system, we get: Among them, M T is the control torque, H I is the angular momentum in the inertial system, is the angular momentum in the body coordinate system, is the angular velocity mapping from the inertial system to the body coordinate system in the body coordinate system;
[0065] Satellite attitude kinematics based on quaternions:
[0066] in for:
[0067] and
[0068] is the quaternion attitude transfer matrix from the inertial system to the body coordinate system, is the angular velocity of the Earth.
[0069] According to the attached drawings of the specification Fig.11 and the formula therein;
[0070] where Φ, Θ, and Ψ are the angles of rotation about the axis, the quaternion q can be solved, and then integrated to obtain the time control step Δt.
[0071] Example:
[0072] According to the satellite scheduling task;
[0073] The on-board sensor reads the current attitude angle;
[0074] Solve the current satellite orbit error or attitude error;
[0075] By solving in steps 13 and 14, select the engine propulsion surface and the working step t, as well as the propulsion angle for the required working condition;
[0076] According to step 4, when the satellite needs to adjust its orbit or attitude, adjust the rotating engagement mechanism, push the fixed gear, drive the rack, and push the rotating gear to complete the steering of the attitude and orbit control engine and adjust to the angle solved in step 4;
[0077] According to the task and the attached drawings of the specification Fig.12 in the table, determine the solved angle;
[0078] The engine starts. According to the working step t in step 4, start the engine and run for the working step t;
[0079] Before completing the attitude or orbit adjustment by Δt (Δt < t), according to the on-board gyroscope, read the current angular velocity;
[0080] According to the scheduling task and the attitude angular velocity read in step 8, determine whether to start the angular velocity unloading about the axis;
[0081] If angular velocity unloading is required, repeat steps 2 - 4, select a suitable propulsion surface and working step, and according to step 12 in the invention content, determine the propulsion angle and perform rotational speed unloading.

8. The control method of the satellite attitude and orbit integrated control device of the step-length control thruster according to any one of claims 1 to 7, characterized in that: The steps include: Step 1: Assume that the satellite's center of mass coordinate system is 0-XYZ. The satellite's six thrusters are installed on the bottom surface parallel to the three planes XOY, XOZ, and YOZ. The thruster nozzles can generate thrust in different directions by rotating the meshing mechanism to achieve the purpose of orbit and attitude adjustment. Step 2: When the satellite needs to perform orbital attitude control, according to the target orbit or attitude, select the appropriate thruster, adjust the rack position, push the gear to rotate, and drive the thruster nozzle to rotate through the key fixed to the gear to make it face the predetermined position. By controlling the power-on step length, the orbit change or attitude adjustment is completed; Step 3: According to step 2, the number of steps of the stepping drive motor (16) is adjusted to drive the rack (8) to rotate, push the rack (8) to extend and retract, and drive the corresponding rotating gear to rotate, thereby adjusting the nozzle angle; Step 4: When the satellite is to be accelerated in the X-axis direction to change its orbit, according to step 3, the nozzle directions of the first thruster (2) and the second thruster (3) are adjusted so that they generate thrust in the same direction as the X-axis; Step 5: When the satellite is to be accelerated in the Y-axis direction to change its orbit, according to step 3, the nozzle directions of the third thruster (4) and the fourth thruster (5) are adjusted so that they generate thrust in the same direction as the Y-axis; Step 6: When the satellite is to be accelerated in the Z-axis direction to change its orbit, according to step 3, the nozzle directions of the fifth thruster (6) and the sixth thruster (7) are adjusted so that they generate thrust in the same direction as the Z-axis; Step 7: When the satellite needs to continue to generate thrust to change its orbit, the thruster in the axial direction of the orbit change is turned on to generate thrust and generate acceleration to change the satellite's orbit; Step 8: When the satellite is to rotate around the X-axis and its roll angle changes, according to step 3, the nozzle directions of the first thruster (2) and the second thruster (3) are adjusted to be parallel to the YOZ plane, and thrust is applied to generate torque to make the satellite roll; Step 9: When the satellite is to rotate around the Y axis and its yaw angle changes, according to step 3, the nozzle directions of the third thruster (4) and the fourth thruster (5) are adjusted to be parallel to the XOZ plane, and thrust is applied to generate torque to cause the satellite to yaw; Step 10: When the satellite is to rotate around the Z axis and its pitch angle changes, according to step 3, the fifth thruster (6) and the sixth thruster (7) are adjusted to have their nozzles parallel to the XOY plane, and thrust is applied to generate torque to make the satellite pitch. Step 11: The above steps 4-10 are all thrust angles at the angles required for large-angle maneuvers. After the attitude change, the speed needs to be unloaded. The nozzle rotation angle can be adjusted to 90°-180° for unloading; Step 12: Adjust the angle of the nozzle according to the required course and posture; Step 13: When the satellite changes its orbit about a certain axis, Newton's second law gives: 2F = ma, where F is the thrust generated by a single engine, m is the mass of the satellite, and a is the acceleration of the satellite. The relationship between velocity and acceleration gives: Δv = aΔt, where Δv is the increase in velocity and Δt is the time step of the engine operation. From the law of universal gravitation and periodic motion we know: Where V is the velocity of the satellite, G is the gravitational constant (G≈6.67×10 -11 m 3 kg -1 s -2 ), M is the mass of the Earth, R is the radius of the Earth, and r is the orbital height, so From this, the time control step Δt required for the orbit change height Δr can be calculated; Step 14: When the satellite rotates around a certain axis, the torque generated on the axis is: M = 2Fsinα×L, where F is the thrust generated by the engine, α is the angle at which the engine is opened, and L is the distance from the center of mass to the thrust axis plane; From the torque control equation in the body coordinate system, we get: Among them, M T is the control torque, H I is the angular momentum in the inertial system, is the angular momentum in the body coordinate system, is the angular velocity mapping from the inertial system to the body coordinate system in the body coordinate system; Satellite attitude kinematics based on quaternions: in for: and is the quaternion attitude transfer matrix from the inertial system to the body coordinate system, is the angular velocity of the Earth. Where Φ, Θ, Ψ are the angles of rotation around the axis, which can be used to solve the quaternion q, and then integrate to get the time control step Δt.
