Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a method for autonomous control of satellite formation based on relative motion fitting, belonging to the technical field of spacecraft control. Background Art
[0002] Satellite formation flying is a space technology that accomplishes specific tasks through the cooperation of multiple satellites. Compared with traditional single large satellites, satellite formations with distributed layouts of multiple small satellites can improve the resolution, coverage, and redundancy of tasks, and can demonstrate higher flexibility, lower cost, and stronger fault tolerance when completing complex tasks. Formation flying technology is widely applied in fields such as Earth observation, space science, deep space exploration, and communication enhancement. For example, in Earth observation tasks and deep space exploration tasks, it can achieve scientific goals such as multi-angle observation and interferometry, and can also optimize data relay and communication efficiency.
[0003] However, in an environment where navigation signals are missing, satellite formation flying faces significant challenges. Especially in specific scenarios such as deep space exploration, polar observation, or severe electronic interference, traditional positioning and time synchronization methods based on the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) are difficult to apply. Most traditional satellite formation control methods use the CW equation to control using the relative position and velocity obtained by navigation, or calculate and control the control quantity using the deviation orbit parameters obtained by navigation. However, using the CW equation for formation control has errors caused by linearization at relatively long formation distances, and for multi-satellite formation tasks under deep space conditions or navigation-limited conditions, traditional formation control methods cannot meet the formation control requirements.

Detailed implementation manners
[0018] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0019] It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments in the present invention and the features in the embodiments may be combined with each other.
[0020] Next, the present invention will be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, but it is not a limitation of the present invention.
[0021] Detailed implementation manner 1: Next, in conjunction with Figures 1 to 13 this implementation manner will be described. The described satellite formation autonomous control method based on relative motion fitting includes the following steps: Step 1. Whenever the main satellite passes through the ascending node, use the inter-satellite spacings and directions of multiple discretely distributed sub-satellites relative to the main satellite observed in the previous orbital period for relative motion fitting, and then obtain the coefficients of the relative motion function of the sub-satellites. Step 2. Obtain the orbital parameter deviations of the sub-satellites relative to the main satellite according to the coefficients of the relative motion function of the sub-satellites. Step 3. Obtain the control vectors and control durations required for sub-satellite formation adjustment according to the orbital parameter deviations. Step 4. Each sub-satellite performs autonomous control according to the control vectors and control durations obtained in Step 3.
[0022] The present invention considers the formation control idea, completes the phase drift control by controlling the semi-major axis of the orbit, and completes the oscillation control of the in-plane and out-of-plane quantities by controlling the eccentricity vector, orbital inclination, and right ascension of the ascending node. See Figure 3 as shown.
[0023] The LVLH coordinate system is shown in Figure 2As shown, the main satellite and each sub-satellite fly in formation around the central celestial body. In specific scenarios such as deep space exploration, polar observation, or severe electronic interference, traditional positioning and time synchronization methods based on the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) are difficult to apply. The present invention uses a non-linear method for analysis.
[0024] In the LVLH coordinate system, the relative motion law can be expressed by non-singular relative orbital element deviations as the following equation: (1) In the formula, x, y, and z are the inter-satellite distances between the sub-satellite and the main satellite on the X, Y, and Z axes in the LVLH coordinate system, is the geocentric distance between the main satellite and the central celestial body, is the semi-major axis of the main satellite's orbit, is the eccentricity of the main satellite's orbit, is the inclination of the main satellite's orbit, is the right ascension of the ascending node of the main satellite, is the argument of perigee of the main satellite, is the true anomaly of the main satellite, is the semi-latus rectum of the main satellite, , is the argument of latitude of the main satellite, . To avoid the singular problem caused by near-circular orbits, non-singular orbital parameters are used, is the non-singular orbital parameter of the main satellite, , . The above symbols are all parameters related to the main satellite, represents the deviation of the parameters related to the sub-satellite and the main satellite, where is the deviation of the semi-major axis of the orbit, is the deviation of the inclination of the orbit, is the deviation of the right ascension of the ascending node, is the deviation of the argument of latitude, , are the deviations of the non-singular orbital parameters, , are used to characterize the deviation of the eccentricity vector.
[0025] For the near-circular small deviation assumption, equation (1) can be simplified to the following form: (2) As a function of the relative motion of the sub-satellite, in the LVHV coordinate system, the relative motion function of the sub-satellite is fitted separately along the X, Y, and Z axes; that is, three relative motion functions with a total of 8 coefficients. The inter-satellite distances (x, y, z) of the sub-satellite relative to the main satellite observed in the previous orbit period are used to solve by sampling at least 5 discrete sampling points of the sub-satellite within the orbit period (one circle).
[0026] In the formula, is the time; is the coefficient to be solved is the amplitude of the oscillation of the relative motion on the X-axis is the phase of the oscillation of the relative motion on the X-axis with respect to the latitude argument is the rate of change of the drift distance of the relative motion on the Y-axis is the drift distance of the relative motion on the Y-axis is the amplitude of the oscillation of the relative motion on the Y-axis is the phase of the oscillation of the relative motion on the Y-axis with respect to the true anomaly is the amplitude of the oscillation of the relative motion on the Z-axis is the phase of the oscillation of the relative motion on the Z-axis with respect to the latitude argument
[0027] In step 1, the motion fitting adopts the nonlinear least squares method
[0028] The parameters related to the deviation estimation in Equation (2) are as follows (3) In the formula is the relative deviation orbital angular velocity of the primary star and the secondary star, n is the orbital angular velocity of the primary star , is the gravitational constant of the central celestial body. Therefore, the relative distance of the Y-axis (phase) of the LVLH system can be controlled by controlling the semi-major axis
[0029] From the above relative motion analysis, it can be seen that in the LVLH coordinate system, the relative motion of the formation can be fitted into the above form, where the above is the coefficient to be solved. Therefore, the relative motion fitting method can be considered to obtain the above undetermined parameters and then obtain the orbital deviation of the primary star and the secondary star
[0030] In step 2, the orbital parameter deviation of the secondary star relative to the primary star , , , , , is obtained according to the following formula (4) Equation (4) is derived from Equation (3)
[0031] In the formula T is the orbital period of the primary star Calculated when the primary star passes through the ascending node for the (k + 1)-th time , Calculated when the primary star passes through the ascending node for the first time .
[0032] The control vector in step three includes a control quantity and the latitude argument for applying the control quantity; The control quantity , , is obtained according to the following formula: where is an intermediate parameter, ; is the tangential pulse control quantity along the orbit, , is the orbital angular momentum of the primary star, ; is the total deviation of the semi-major axis to be adjusted, , is the additional control quantity of the semi-major axis, , is the given adjustment required total duration; This control quantity is applied at both the pericenter and apocenter of the central body . The latitude argument for applying this control quantity at the pericenter is , and the latitude argument for applying this control quantity at the apocenter is ; is the normal pulse control quantity along the orbit, , and the latitude argument for applying this control quantity is ; is the radial pulse control quantity along the orbit; , and the latitude argument for applying this control quantity is .
[0033] For the control of the deviation adjustment of the latitude argument, it can be indirectly achieved by controlling the semi-major axis. The specific formula is as follows: After calculating the latitude argument deviation of the secondary star relative to the primary star , given the adjustment required total duration , the additional control quantity of the semi-major axis required can be calculated by the following formula Combined with the obtained in step two, the total deviation of the semi-major axis to be actually controlled is obtained .
[0034] The process of autonomous control of each sub-satellite according to the control vector obtained in Step 3 in Step 4 is as follows: normal control, radial control, and tangential control are sequentially performed within three consecutive orbital periods. One type of control is executed in each orbital period. After each type of control is completed, Steps 1 to 3 are returned to, and the deviation, control vector, and control duration are recalculated before the next type of control is performed, so as to achieve the formation adjustment of the sub-satellites with the latitude argument of the main satellite as the reference value in the case where relevant orbital information of the sub-satellites cannot be obtained due to navigation limitations.
[0035] The start time and end time of the normal control are respectively , ; the start time and end time of the radial control are respectively , ; the start time and end time of the tangential control at the near central body point are respectively , , and the start time and end time of the tangential control at the far central body point are respectively , ; is the latitude argument of the main satellite when the predicted control amount is applied , , , corresponding time, , , are the control durations required for normal control, radial control, and tangential control respectively.
[0036] The normal control is to eliminate the deviation of the right ascension of the ascending node and the deviation of the orbital inclination , and the control is performed by applying the normal pulse control amount at the latitude argument .
[0037] The control duration required for normal control is: In the formula, is the thrust of the sub-satellite thruster, is the mass of the sub-satellite.
[0038] The radial control is used to eliminate the deviation of the eccentricity vector, and the control is performed by applying the normal pulse control amount at the latitude argument .
[0039] The control duration required for radial control is: Tangential control is used to eliminate the deviation of the orbital semi-major axis , during the operation within the orbital period, the neutron star and the primary star will continue to generate deviations, and the additional control amount of the semi-major axis , the total deviation of the semi-major axis that needs to be eliminated , by eliminating the deviation of the semi-major axis, the deviation of the latitude argument is further eliminated , by applying a tangential pulse control amount at the near central body point ( ), the far central body point ( ) with a phase interval of 180° respectively for control.
[0040] The required control duration for tangential control is: Normal control, radial control, and tangential control are carried out in different orbital periods. First, normal control is applied; after completing normal control, return to execute steps one to three to recalculate the deviation, control amount, and control duration, and then perform radial control; after completing radial control, return to execute steps one to three to recalculate the deviation, control amount, and control duration to perform tangential control.
[0041] The following gives a specific example.
[0042] Taking the formation control problem of a certain satellite flying along the track around the moon as a simulation example to verify the feasibility of the method. The orbital parameters of the primary star are selected as follows: The orbital parameters of the secondary star are selected as follows: The control target is the Y direction in the LVLH coordinate system. After 14 days, the secondary star is controlled 10 km in front of the primary star. The mass of the secondary star is set to 100 kg, and a thruster with a thrust of 80 mN is used for small thrust control, with a thrust error of 5%. The maximum working time of the thruster for a single time is 600 s, the orbit determination error of the primary star is 1 km@1 m / s, the ranging and direction finding error between the primary star and the secondary star is 3 m@one arc minute, and the thrust direction error is 2°.
[0043] Step 1, through the observed discrete sampling points, the relative motion fitting result obtained by using non-linear least squares curve fitting Figures 3 to 5 is shown as follows.
[0044] Step 2, obtain the orbital parameter deviation of the secondary star relative to the primary star according to the coefficients of the relative motion function of the secondary star; Based on the fitting result in step 1, the deviation of the primary star is estimated, as shown in Figures 9 to 13 the following figure.
[0045] Step 3, obtain the control vector and control duration required for the formation adjustment of the secondary star according to the orbital parameter deviation; Step 4: Each sub - satellite performs autonomous control according to the control vector and control duration obtained in Step 3. Refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 .
[0046] Through normal, radial, and tangential controls, autonomous control of the sub - satellite formation can be completed. Tangential control realizes phase drift control, and normal and radial controls realize in - plane and out - of - plane flying - around control. The oscillation of the sub - satellite relative to the mother satellite is effectively reduced, and the relative distance in the Y - direction can be controlled at 10 km. The autonomous formation control algorithm is effective.
