TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of space gravitational wave detection, in particular to a space gravitational wave detection spacecraft formation dynamic full-link simulation method and system, and also relates to a corresponding computer terminal and computer readable storage medium. BACKGROUND
[0002] Space gravitational wave detection adopts a laser interferometric measurement method, and utilizes a spacecraft formation to detect the picometer-level low-frequency displacement changes between 100,000-1,000,000 km baseline free-floating test masses caused by gravitational waves, that is, the detection sensitivity needs to reach 10 -21 orders of magnitude. The optical measurement noise needs to be lower than 10 -21 / Hz 1 / 2 orders of magnitude, the residual acceleration noise of the test mass needs to be better than 10 -15 m / s2 / Hz 1 / 2 orders of magnitude, and the spacecraft constellation needs to have the ability to continuously and stably measure to accumulate observation time to meet the detection signal-to-noise ratio requirements. However, the spacecraft in orbit is disturbed by complex factors such as multiple physical fields and space environment, and it is difficult to evaluate whether the spacecraft meets the detection requirements. In order to systematically analyze the detection sensitivity of the space gravitational wave spacecraft, a dynamic full-link simulation system needs to be constructed for the coupling of the instrument-spacecraft-space environment, and the coupling effects need to be analyzed.
[0003] After searching, it is found that:
[0004] The document "Gravitational Wave Detection Spacecraft Noise Decomposition and Electromagnetic Force Noise Simulation [J]. Journal of Deep Space Exploration (English and Chinese), 2023, 10(03): 334-342." focuses on the instrument sensitivity of gravitational wave detection, and clearly defines the top-level indicators of the optical path measurement noise and the residual acceleration noise of the test mass of the "Taiji Plan" spacecraft. The system noise is decomposed step by step, and detailed modeling is completed taking electromagnetic force noise as an example. A simulation system is designed and calculated. However, the coupling effects of multiple physical fields and the dynamic changes of the satellite in orbit are not considered.
[0005] The document "A Space Gravitational Wave Detection Sensitivity Calculation Method and System Based on Time Series Data: CN116413832A [P]. 2023-03-27" proposes a method and simulation system for calculating the sensitivity of a space gravitational wave detector using mixed noise time series data. The noise strain power spectral density is converted into noise relative frequency power spectral density, and the sensitivity is calculated using the noise relative frequency power spectral density and the transfer function R. However, only noise is considered, and dynamic simulation is not performed in combination with multiple physical fields and drag-free control dynamics.
[0006] The current simulation system for a space gravitational wave detection spacecraft does not integrate the coupling effect of multi-physical fields (temperature field, magnetic field, self-gravitational field) and full-link noise, and it is difficult to accurately simulate the influence of the dynamic change of the multi-physical field of the spacecraft formation on-orbit operation on gravitational wave detection, and the inhibition effect of non-conservative force disturbance on the non-drag control, and it cannot analyze the detection sensitivity from the system level. Therefore, it is urgent to carry out dynamic full-link simulation research on the space gravitational wave detection spacecraft formation integrating multi-physical fields and non-drag control.

[0031] Space-based gravitational wave detection employs laser interferometry, utilizing a spacecraft formation to detect low-frequency displacement changes in mass at the picometer level (tens of thousands to millions of kilometers) caused by gravitational waves, which are freely suspended in space. This requires a detection sensitivity of at least 10⁻⁶. -21 Order of magnitude. Optical measurement noise must be below 10. -12 m / Hz 1 / 2 Level, with residual acceleration noise of the test mass better than 10. -15 m / s 2 / Hz 1 / 2 At the spacecraft level, spacecraft are subject to complex dynamic interferences from multiphysics fields and the space environment in orbit. Current spacecraft simulation systems for gravitational wave detection do not integrate the coupling effects of dynamic multiphysics fields (temperature field, magnetic field, self-gravitational field) and end-to-end noise.

[0100] The space gravitational wave detection spacecraft formation dynamic full-link simulation method and system provided in the above embodiments of the present invention combine a spacecraft multiphysics model with spacecraft orbital dynamics and drag-free control closed-loop simulation to conduct dynamic full-link simulation of spacecraft formation. Through real-time interaction between the dynamic model, multiphysics model, and full-link noise model, dynamic coupling analysis of temperature field, magnetic field, and self-gravitational field on optical measurement noise and residual acceleration noise is achieved. Combining the closed-loop feedback of the orbital dynamics model and drag-free control model, the simulation outputs the on-orbit state information of the formation spacecraft, which is fed back to the multiphysics model to dynamically simulate the changes in the multiphysics fields of the spacecraft on orbit, thus forming a full-link closed-loop simulation system.
