Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of space debris environment modeling technology, specifically to a short-term evolution method for continuum disintegration debris based on numerical methods. Background Technology
[0002] As human exploration of the space environment deepens, the amount of space debris is increasing year by year, and disintegration events are one of the main sources of space debris. Existing research largely focuses on the long-term evolution and mitigation strategies of the debris environment, while relatively little attention is paid to the short- to medium-term dynamics of debris evolution after a disintegration event. After a sudden disintegration event, the resulting debris cloud initially exhibits a sharp increase in spatial density and a highly concentrated yet uneven distribution. This high-density, non-uniform debris cloud forms a rapidly expanding "danger zone," posing an immediate and extremely high collision risk to nearby spacecraft in orbit. Therefore, in-depth research into the short- to medium-term evolution of space debris under sudden disintegration events has significant theoretical and engineering application value.
[0003] Current methods for assessing the evolution and risk of space debris generated by short-term, sudden disintegration events have the following limitations:
[0004] (1) In terms of evolution, the traditional Monte Carlo discretization method is weak in capturing low-probability events. Even with a large number of samples, it is still difficult to accurately reflect the overall distribution and evolution trend of the debris swarm. Therefore, a continuity method needs to be introduced to describe the debris evolution through a distribution function. However, existing analytical continuum-like methods usually only establish the initial distribution based on the orbital semi-major axis, eccentricity, and inclination. In short-term evolution, due to the limited time, the orbital parameters have not reached a statistical equilibrium state, and the distribution is difficult to become uniform. Therefore, it is necessary to include all orbital parameters in the initial modeling to more accurately characterize the initial state of the debris after disintegration.
[0005] (2) In terms of dynamic modeling, perturbation effects in short-term evolution cannot be adequately averaged over time, and the impact of instantaneous disturbances is significant. Higher-precision perturbation equations are needed to characterize complex short-term orbital dynamics. In this case, analytical solutions to the continuum equations are often difficult to obtain, making numerical solutions more suitable. This involves representing the continuum through finite feature points and indirectly reflecting the overall evolutionary pattern through the evolution of these feature points. Therefore, solving the continuum equations becomes a problem of selecting, evolving, and reconstructing feature points.
[0006] (3) In terms of collision risk assessment, the assessment method based on environmental engineering models has low computational efficiency and is difficult to meet the needs of rapid response to short-term emergencies; while the method based on analytical flux models is more efficient, its effective coverage period is usually short (several hours to several days), and it fails to fully cover the critical risk period of several days to several months after disintegration. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a collision risk analysis model that takes into account both computational efficiency and assessment accuracy and can cover the time window of several days to several months after disintegration. Summary of the Invention

Space and considering the semi-major axis eccentricity Constraints are given for each fragment ,according to and spacecraft position vector Determine the possible orbital parameter vectors of the disintegration fragments. Then, using Find the velocity vector of the fragment. and the spacecraft velocity vector The modulus of velocity increment obtained by subtraction Finally, Input orbital parameter probability density function The initial distribution of disintegration fragments is obtained by combining the transformation matrix. .
[0029] Furthermore, step S2 specifically includes the following steps:
[0030] Step S21: Perform forward propagation for each sample and calculate the loss;
[0031] Step S22: Obtain the gradient vector through backpropagation and calculate its L2 norm as the score of the sample;
[0032] Step S23: Sort all samples in descending order according to gradient magnitude, and select the top-scoring samples. Each sample is a feature point of a continuum, and the sampling result is output.
[0033] Furthermore, in step S22, the formulas for the gradient vector and its L2 norm are as follows:

[0050] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial technical effects:
[0051] 1. Compared with the traditional Monte Carlo method, the method proposed in this invention has a smaller sample size, lower computational cost, and shorter computation time by dividing the grid and sampling based on gradient.
[0052] 2. This invention mainly studies the evolution of spacecraft debris over a period of several days to several months after the disintegration of the spacecraft. This is a short-to-medium-term evolution, which fills the gap in the past research in this field, which only focused on ultra-short-term (within a few hours) and long-term (several years and more) evolution.

The specific details are as follows:
[0096] The inertial coordinate system and spacecraft orbital coordinate system used in this paper are as follows: Figure 4 As shown, the x, y, and z axes belong to the inertial coordinate system, with the origin at the Earth's center of mass. The z-axis is parallel to the Earth's axis and points towards the North Pole. The x-axis points towards the intersection of the Prime Meridian and the equator. The y-axis, x-axis, and z-axis form a right-handed coordinate system. The t, h, and n axes belong to the spacecraft's orbital coordinate system, with the origin at the spacecraft's center of mass. The t-axis is along the direction of the spacecraft's velocity vector. The h-axis is perpendicular to the orbital plane. The n-axis, t-axis, and h-axis form a right-handed coordinate system.

This indicates that the matrix is transformed into a determinant; The basis vector set transition matrix represents the transition from the inertial coordinate system to the spacecraft orbital coordinate system; Let be the coordinate transformation matrix, defined as shown in formula (11):

[0109] (12)
[0110] This represents the probability density function of the orbital parameters of the disintegration fragments.
[0111] because The function is complex, so an inverse solution method is used to determine the orbital parameter vectors of the disintegration fragments. To further determine the velocity of the fragments and speed increment Finally, based on the formula Obtain the initial distribution of disintegration fragments .

That is, the spacecraft disintegration point, given the disintegration debris. At this point, there are exactly two possible orbital parameters for the disintegrating fragments, denoted as . and ,in , .

[0116] After sorting, we can obtain:
[0117] (14)
[0118] Step S2: Based on the initial distribution model of the disintegration fragments established in Step S1, a gradient-based sampling method is used to sample the feature points of the continuum, selecting the points with the highest L2 norm score of the gradient vector. Each sample is used as a feature point of the continuum to be evolved.
[0119] This sampling method evaluates the importance of each sample in the fragmented dataset obtained from the initial modeling by calculating the gradient magnitude. The specific process is as follows:

[0133] Step S23: Sort all samples in descending order according to gradient magnitude, and select the top-scoring samples. Each sample is a feature point of a continuum, and the sampling result is output.
[0134] This method uses gradient information to select the samples that have the most significant impact on the model, thereby achieving importance-based data sampling.
[0135] Step S3: Based on the continuum feature points selected in step S2, the continuum equations are processed using a numerical solution method. The six orbital roots and four perturbation forces are considered to perform short- and medium-term evolution of the feature points, resulting in the continuum feature points and their distribution after short- and medium-term evolution.
[0136] The four perturbations take into account the gravitational perturbations of the Sun and Moon, the perturbations of the Earth's non-spherical shape, the perturbations of solar radiation pressure, and the perturbations of atmospheric drag.

[0141] Step S34 Mapped to The model considers the characteristics of feature fragments before and after evolution. The size remains unchanged.
[0142] Step S35: Repeat steps S32 to S34 until all feature fragments have been traversed, and finally determine the evolved feature fragment distribution. .
[0143] Step S4: Based on the short-to-medium-term evolution continuum feature points obtained in Step S3, the Student's t-mix model is used to reconstruct the final state distribution of the disintegration fragments.
[0144] Step S41: Establish a Student t-mixture model that represents the final state distribution of the disintegration fragments.
[0145] Compared to Gaussian mixture models, Student's t-mixture model (TMM) is insensitive to outliers and allows some data points far from the center. Therefore, this invention uses Student's t-mixture model for final state distribution reconstruction.

For the first The covariance matrix of the t-distribution of students. For the first The degrees of freedom of the t-distribution for each student; , , These are the parameters to be estimated.
[0151] Step S42: Use the expectation-maximization algorithm to solve for the parameters in the student t-mixed model.
[0152] First, the parameters in the TMM model are initialized, and then the expectation-maximization algorithm is used to solve for the parameters (including the mean) in the TMM. covariance and weighting coefficients By iteratively alternating between the expectation step and the maximization step, the solution converges to the threshold, and the above parameters are obtained. The iterative process is as follows:
