Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of manufacturing measurement and detection, and relates to a system for automatic detection of the payload posture of a large space probe, and in particular to a system that directly provides automatic detection of the payload posture during the manufacturing process of the large space probe payload. Background Art
[0002] Satellite payload attitude measurement is used to obtain the attitude relationship between satellite payloads such as the IMU, antenna, and star sensors. It is an essential inspection and testing step during satellite assembly, integration, and testing. A search revealed two main measurement schemes. One is a manual aiming measurement scheme based on dual latitude and longitude. In this scheme, the satellite being measured is fixed, and two theodolites are used to align the mirror surfaces of the reference cubic mirrors on different payloads on the satellite being measured. The attitude relationship between the different payloads is then established through manual mutual aiming. This scheme obtains the payload attitude angle by aligning the electronic theodolite with the reference mirror and then manually aiming the horizontal and elevation angles of the measuring theodolite and the ground theodolite. Therefore, each payload position that needs to be measured requires a manually set up theodolite for alignment measurement. Furthermore, due to the complex satellite structure and diverse payload placement, this scheme has the problems of high difficulty and low efficiency in manual measurement, and the measurement accuracy is easily affected by external factors.
[0003] The second measurement scheme is based on a combined measurement scheme of a single theodolite, a vertical back frame and a high-precision turntable. In this scheme, the satellite payload is installed on a high-precision turntable using pin-hole positioning, and the theodolite is installed on the vertical back frame. The theodolite uses a digital CCD instead of human eye aiming. Through height adjustment and rotation adjustment of the turntable, the theodolite and the mirror surface of the first payload reference cubic mirror are aligned and the corresponding angle is recorded. Then, according to the design value or pre-learned attitude relationship between each reference cubic mirror, the turntable rotates and the vertical back frame carries the theodolite for height movement, so that the theodolite and the reference cubic mirror at the second measurement position are precisely aligned. Then, the second payload position is measured through the theodolite angle, the yaw repeatability provided by the vertical back frame, and the angle provided by the turntable. And so on. Therefore, this scheme is suitable for the automated measurement of small detectors. This solution requires the use of the rotation angle of the turntable and the high-precision yaw consistency provided by the vertical support frame as a reference benchmark. This is combined with the two-dimensional angle of the theodolite to achieve high-precision load attitude measurement. Therefore, the system requires regular calibration after operation, and the system accuracy is limited by the yaw repeatability of the turntable and support frame, making it difficult to further improve. Furthermore, for large space probes with heights exceeding 8 meters, high-precision rotational positioning is difficult due to their heavy weight and complex structure. Even with bottom positioning, the bottom-top assembly error and rotational tower error will affect measurement accuracy. Therefore, large space probes are not suitable for rotational measurement. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In order to solve the problems that the existing large-scale space probe payload attitude cannot be automatically measured and the existing automated measurement system has a complex structure and low measurement accuracy, the main purpose of the present invention is to provide a system for automatic detection of the payload attitude of a large-scale space probe, using an adaptive collimation target to build a ground measurement network with the support of a tracking and collimation measuring instrument, using one of the dual tracking and collimation measuring instruments to cooperate with the adaptive collimation target in the ground measurement network to realize real-time measurement of the spatial position and attitude of the tracking and collimation measuring instrument, using one of the dual tracking and collimation measuring instruments to realize collimation measurement with the cubic mirror on the satellite payload, using a high-altitude carrying platform to realize the initial positioning and stable support of the tracking and collimation measuring instrument according to the measured spatial position and attitude data, using a tracking and collimation measuring instrument support frame to realize precise positioning of the dual tracking collimators according to the measured spatial position and attitude data, thereby achieving the purpose of automatic measurement of the payload attitude of a large-scale space probe.
[0005] The present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:
[0006] The present invention discloses a system for automatic detection of the payload attitude of a large space probe, which mainly consists of four parts: a ground measurement network component, an omnidirectional mobile space positioning platform, a precise positioning platform, and a tracking and collimation measuring instrument.
[0007] The ground measurement network components are distributed on both sides of the large space detector to be measured, and are used to construct an overall measurement network on the ground, establish a measurement coordinate system, and cooperate with the tracking and collimation measuring instrument to provide real-time spatial coordinate data for the high-altitude carrying platform, thereby providing data support for the planning of the high-altitude carrying platform movement. At the same time, when the tracking and collimation measuring instrument arrives at the stationary state of the measurement station, the tracking and collimation measuring instrument is used to perform alignment measurement to provide attitude data for the tracking and collimation measuring instrument, which serves as the attitude reference for the measurement of the large space detector payload. The omnidirectional mobile space positioning platform is used to install a precise positioning platform, which is used to realize the spatial carrying and stable support of the collimation tracking measuring instrument installed on the precise positioning platform. The precise positioning platform is installed on the high-altitude carrying platform and is used to install the tracking and collimation measuring instrument to realize adaptive position adjustment according to the structure of the cubic mirror of the large space detector payload measured by the tracking and collimation measuring instrument, and arrive at the alignment measurement station. The tracking collimator is used to provide measurement laser and collimation data for the adaptive collimator target, thereby establishing a ground measurement network. At the same time, the aiming angle is established through collimation measurement with the cubic mirror of the large space probe payload to be measured, and then the automatic measurement of the large space probe payload is achieved through collimation measurement with an adaptive target in the ground measurement network component.
[0008] The ground measurement network assembly primarily consists of a ground position and attitude measurement unit consisting of multiple adaptive collimation targets and a leveling support frame. The adaptive collimation target can sense the direction of the tracking collimator's emission and perform two-dimensional horizontal and pitch rotation adjustments, allowing the reference plane conic mirror mounted on it to return the incident laser beam along its original path while simultaneously measuring the horizontal and pitch rotation angles with high precision, thereby providing a reference for the attitude angle of the tracking collimator. The support frame can provide leveling and stabilizing support functions, facilitating the placement of the ground position and attitude measurement unit in different locations.
[0009] The omnidirectional mobile space positioning platform is mainly composed of an omnidirectional mobile carrier, a vertical high-altitude carrier frame, and a stable support. The omnidirectional mobile carrier is the basis of automated measurement. It adopts omnidirectional wheels with stable support and is equipped with a control system based on measurement data to realize autonomous navigation positioning and stable support after initial positioning. The vertical high-altitude carrier frame is installed in the middle of the omnidirectional mobile vehicle and is used to install a precise positioning platform. It realizes mobile positioning in the height direction of space based on the measurement data of the tracking and alignment measuring instrument installed on the precise positioning platform and the adaptive alignment target in the ground measurement network component. The stable support is used to increase the lateral stiffness of the vertical high-altitude carrier frame and improve the stability of the tracking and alignment measuring instrument installed on the precise positioning platform during measurement.
[0010] The precise positioning platform primarily consists of a high-precision two-dimensional translation stage, a lower connecting plate, support rods, a lower connecting plate, and an upper connecting plate. The high-precision two-dimensional translation stage is mounted on a vertical motion slide of a vertical high-altitude carrier. It supports a tracking and alignment measuring instrument via a support frame consisting of the lower connecting plate, support rods, and lower and upper connecting plates. This platform achieves precise two-dimensional horizontal movement based on alignment measurement data from the tracking and alignment measuring instrument mounted on the precise positioning platform and a cubic mirror mounted on the payload of a large space probe.
[0011] The tracking collimator is mainly used to cooperate with the adaptive collimator target to achieve high-precision spatial position and attitude measurement between the tracking collimator measurement and the adaptive collimator target. When the adaptive collimator target is fixed on the ground, the real-time measurement of the spatial position of the tracking collimator can be achieved, and then the large-area spatial positioning of the tracking collimator can be achieved through the measurement network constructed by two or more ground position and attitude measurement units, thereby providing the omnidirectional mobile space positioning platform with motion reference data of the spatial position. At the same time, by reasonably arranging the ground measurement network around the large detector, it is effectively avoided that the large space detector blocks the line of sight of the tracking collimator, thereby providing all-round automatic attitude measurement for the large detector load measurement. In addition, the spatial coordinate measurement of the measurement reference point is achieved by coordinating the tracking collimator measurement with the spherical angle cone target mirror, thereby realizing the alignment of the design coordinate system and the measurement coordinate system of the large space detector, thereby improving efficiency. The tracking collimator establishes a coordinate relationship with the adaptive collimator target that constitutes the ground position and attitude measurement unit, thereby constructing a ground measurement network.
[0012] The adaptive pitch adjustment assembly is used to mount a perforated conic mirror, a reference plane mirror, and a laser displacement sensor (PSD). This allows for position sensing of the incoming laser beam from the tracking collimator and subsequent pitch adjustment, enabling tracking collimation measurement and alignment with the reference plane mirror. The horizontal rotation adjustment assembly is used to mount the adaptive pitch adjustment assembly, ensuring pitch rotation accuracy, providing power for pitch rotation, and enabling high-precision measurement of pitch angles. The base assembly is used to mount the horizontal rotation adjustment assembly, ensuring horizontal rotation accuracy, providing power for horizontal rotation, and enabling high-precision measurement of horizontal angles. The control assembly is used to collect and calculate PSD data, perform adaptive motion control, and measure and calculate pitch and horizontal angles.
[0013] Preferably, the vertical high-altitude carrying back frame in the omnidirectional mobile space positioning platform adopts a back stand, with a guide rail laid on the front, a brake motor driving the screw to drive the slide to move, and an additional back counterweight to achieve the goal of a low starting position of the instrument, smooth movement and protection of the safety of the tracking and alignment measuring instrument.
[0014] Preferably, the slide position of the vertical high-altitude carrier in the omnidirectional mobile space positioning platform adopts an absolute positioning grating ruler as a measurement feedback means to achieve precise height direction mobile positioning control of the tracking collimation measuring instrument.
[0015] Preferably, the high-precision two-dimensional displacement stage used in the precise positioning platform adopts an absolute positioning grating ruler as a measurement feedback means to achieve precise two-dimensional displacement movement of the tracking collimation measuring instrument.
[0016] Preferably, the tracking and alignment measuring instrument utilizes two sets of tracking and alignment measuring instruments arranged in an upper and lower arrangement. The inverted tracking and alignment measuring instrument is used to cooperate with the measurement network constructed by the ground position and attitude measurement unit to achieve real-time measurement of the spatial position of the tracking and alignment measuring instrument itself as navigation data for the omnidirectional mobile space positioning platform. At the same time, after arriving at the measurement station, the tracking and alignment measuring instrument and the adaptive tracking and alignment standard constituting the ground position and attitude measurement unit are used to achieve high-precision attitude measurement of the tracking and alignment measuring instrument itself. The upper tracking and alignment measuring instrument is used to perform position and alignment measurements with the cubic mirror installed on the payload of a large space probe.
[0017] The present invention discloses a working method of a system for automatic detection of payload attitude of a large space probe as follows:
[0018] The large-scale space detector to be measured is fixedly installed. The spatial coordinate values of the adaptive alignment target measured by the tracking collimator are recorded. Simultaneously, alignment measurements are performed, recording the angle values of the tracking collimator and the adaptive target. This establishes a unified positional relationship between the two ground position and attitude measurement units and the tracking collimator, thus forming a ground measurement network. The coordinate measurement function of the tracking collimator is used in conjunction with a spherical cone target to measure the reference points of the large-scale space detector to be measured. Coordinate fitting is used to align the measurement coordinate system with the coordinate system of the large-scale space detector. The tracking collimator, in conjunction with the ground position and attitude measurement unit, performs spatial positioning measurements of the tracking collimator mounted on the omnidirectional mobile spatial positioning platform, thereby providing ground and altitude guidance data for the omnidirectional mobile spatial positioning platform. The tracking collimator, in conjunction with the ground position and attitude measurement unit, performs spatial positioning measurements of the tracking collimator mounted on the omnidirectional mobile spatial positioning platform, thereby providing ground and altitude guidance data for the omnidirectional mobile spatial positioning platform. The omnidirectional mobile spatial positioning platform plans a path based on the payload's attitude measurement points and pointing data, combining it with guidance data to achieve initial positioning on the ground and in space. The tracking and alignment instrument calculates its own position through alignment measurement of its positional relationship with the large space probe payload being measured. The precise positioning platform and vertical back frame then precisely adjust their position and attitude based on the tracking and alignment instrument's alignment measurement results. The tracking and alignment instrument then performs alignment measurements with the large space probe payload being measured and with the adaptive alignment target of the ground position and attitude measurement unit. Attitude measurements of different payloads are performed sequentially. When the tracking and alignment instrument reaches a position where it can no longer see the adaptive alignment target of the ground position and attitude measurement unit, it uses data from the established ground measurement network to automatically calculate its own position relationship with the adaptive alignment target of the ground position and attitude measurement unit on the other side, achieving automatic aiming and tracking measurement, and completing the measurement reference conversion. Attitude measurements of the remaining payloads are then completed sequentially, enabling automatic detection of the large space probe payload's attitude.
[0019] The large space probes mentioned above refer to lunar, Martian and other probes with a size of more than 2 meters.
[0020] Beneficial effects:
[0021] 1. The present invention discloses a system for automatically detecting the attitude of a large space probe payload. When the space probe is fixed, the system can realize automatic measurement of the attitude of the probe payload by cooperating with a mobile tracking collimator and a fixed adaptive collimator target. Compared with the existing solution of mounting the probe on a turntable and carrying a theodolite on a back frame for alignment measurement, the system can effectively avoid the large angle measurement error caused by the rotational pyramid error after the probe is mounted on the turntable and the problem of limited turntable load, thereby improving measurement accuracy and expanding the scope of application of the measurement system.
[0022] 2. The present invention discloses a system for automatically detecting the attitude of a large space probe payload. The reference for the attitude angle of the large space probe payload being measured is obtained by tracking the collimator and the adaptive collimator standard in the ground position and attitude measurement unit. The combined angle measurement error of the tracking collimator and the adaptive target is ±5", which can effectively improve the accuracy of attitude measurement compared with the existing theodolite mutual aiming method and the attitude measurement method using a turntable and a back frame to provide a reference.
[0023] 3. The present invention discloses a system for automatically detecting the attitude of large space probe payloads. This system utilizes a tracking collimator in conjunction with an adaptive collimator target in a ground position and attitude measurement unit to achieve real-time coordinate tracking and measurement. This allows for spatial positioning measurements of the tracking collimator mounted on an omnidirectional mobile space positioning platform. The tracking collimator calculates its own position by collimating the positional relationship with the large space probe payload being measured. The precise positioning platform and vertical back frame then precisely adjust their position and attitude based on the tracking collimator's measurement results. This effectively improves the automation of alignment measurements during measurement, thereby increasing measurement efficiency. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0032] The present invention is further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and implementation examples.
[0033] See attached Figure 1 As shown, the system disclosed in this embodiment for automatic detection of the payload posture of a large space probe 5 mainly consists of four parts: one is a ground measurement network component 1, the second is an omnidirectional mobile space positioning platform 2, the third is a precise positioning platform 3, and the fourth is a tracking and collimation measuring instrument 4.
[0034] The ground measurement network assembly 1 is distributed on both sides of the large-scale space detector 5 to be measured, and is used to construct an overall measurement network on the ground, establish a measurement coordinate system, and cooperate with the inverted tracking collimator 4 to provide real-time spatial coordinate data for the high-altitude carrier platform, thereby providing data support for the planning of the high-altitude carrier platform's movement. At the same time, when the tracking collimator 4 reaches the stationary state of the measurement station, the tracking collimator 4 is aligned with the tracking collimator 4 to provide posture data for the tracking collimator 4, which serves as the posture reference for the load measurement of the large-scale space detector 5. The omnidirectional mobile space positioning platform 2 is used to install the precise positioning platform 3, which can realize the spatial carrying and stable support of the collimator tracking instrument installed on the precise positioning platform 3. The precise positioning platform 3 is installed on the high-altitude carrier platform and is used to install the tracking collimator 4 to realize adaptive position adjustment according to the structure of the cubic mirror of the load of the large-scale space detector 5 measured by the tracking collimator 4, and arrive at the collimation measurement station. The tracking collimator 4 is used to provide measurement laser and collimation data for the adaptive collimator target 101, thereby establishing a ground measurement network component 1. At the same time, the aiming angle is established through collimation measurement with the cubic mirror of the payload of the large space probe 5 to be measured, and then the automatic measurement of the payload of the large space probe 5 is realized through collimation measurement with an adaptive target in the ground measurement network component 1.
[0035] See attached Figure 2 As shown, the ground measurement network component 1 is mainly composed of a ground position and attitude measurement unit consisting of multiple adaptive collimation targets 101 and a leveling support frame 102. The adaptive collimation target 101 can sense the direction of emission of the tracking collimator 4 and perform two-dimensional horizontal rotation and pitch rotation adjustment, so that the reference plane angle conic plane mirror installed thereon can return the incident laser to the original path, and at the same time measure the horizontal and pitch rotation angles with high precision, thereby providing a reference for the attitude angle of the tracking collimator 4; the support frame can have leveling and stable support functions, which is convenient for the arrangement of different positions of the ground position and attitude measurement unit.
[0036] See attached Figure 3As shown, the omnidirectional mobile space positioning platform 2 is mainly composed of an omnidirectional mobile carrier 201, a vertical high-altitude carrier frame 202, a stable support 203 and other components. The omnidirectional mobile carrier 201 is the basis of automated measurement. It adopts an omnidirectional wheel solution with stable support, and is equipped with a control system based on measurement data to achieve autonomous navigation positioning and stable support after initial positioning. The vertical high-altitude carrier frame 202 is installed in the middle of the omnidirectional mobile vehicle and is used to install the precise positioning platform 3. It realizes mobile positioning in the height direction of space based on the measurement data of the tracking and alignment measuring instrument 4 installed on the precise positioning platform 3 and the adaptive alignment target 101 in the ground measurement network component 1. The stable support 203 is used to increase the lateral stiffness of the vertical high-altitude carrier frame 202, and improve the stability of the tracking and alignment measuring instrument 4 installed on the precise positioning platform 3 during measurement.
[0037] See attached Figure 4 As shown, the precise positioning platform 3 is primarily composed of a high-precision two-dimensional translation stage 301, lower connecting plates 305-302, support rods 303, lower and upper connecting plates 304, and other components. The high-precision two-dimensional translation stage 301 is mounted on the vertical motion slide of the vertical high-altitude carrier 202. It is used to support the tracking and alignment measuring instrument 4 via a support frame consisting of the lower connecting plates 305-302, support rods 303, and lower and upper connecting plates 304. It achieves precise two-dimensional horizontal movement based on alignment measurement data from the tracking and alignment measuring instrument 4 mounted on the precise positioning platform 3 and the cubic mirror mounted on the payload of the large space probe 5.
[0038] The tracking collimator 4 is mainly used to cooperate with the adaptive collimator target 101 to achieve high-precision spatial position and attitude measurement between the tracking collimator measurement and the adaptive collimator target 101. When the adaptive collimator target 101 is fixed on the ground, the real-time measurement of the spatial position of the tracking collimator 4 can be achieved. Then, through the measurement network constructed by two or more ground position and attitude measurement units, the large-area spatial positioning of the tracking collimator 4 can be achieved, thereby providing the omnidirectional mobile space positioning platform 2 with motion reference data of the spatial position. At the same time, by reasonably arranging the ground measurement network around the large detector, the occlusion of the tracking collimator 4 when measuring the load can be effectively avoided, thereby providing a full range of automatic attitude measurement for the large detector load measurement. In addition, the tracking collimator measurement can be combined with the spherical angle cone target to achieve the spatial coordinate measurement of the measurement reference point, thereby enabling the alignment of the design coordinate system and the measurement coordinate system of the large space detector 5, thereby improving efficiency. The tracking collimator 4 establishes a coordinate relationship with the adaptive collimator target 101 that constitutes the ground position and attitude measurement unit, thereby constructing a ground measurement network.

[0042] The adaptive pitch adjustment assembly 1011 is used to mount a perforated conic mirror, a reference plane mirror, and a laser displacement sensor (PSD), enabling position sensing of the laser beam from the tracking collimator 4 and subsequent pitch adjustment, thereby achieving alignment and aiming between the tracking collimator 4 and the reference plane mirror. The horizontal rotation adjustment assembly 1012 is used to mount the adaptive pitch adjustment assembly 1011, ensuring pitch rotation accuracy, providing power for pitch rotation, and enabling high-precision measurement of pitch angles.

The control assembly 1014 is used to collect and calculate PSD data, perform adaptive motion control, and measure and calculate pitch and horizontal angles.
[0043] When the angle of the reference plane mirror of the adaptive target is adjusted to be less than ±20° from the direction of the incoming light, the laser emitted from the main tracking collimator 4 passes through the small hole of the corner cone and reaches the PSD of the pitch adjustment component. After the position of the PSD sensor senses the offset of the laser, the adaptive pitch adjustment component 1011 control system will adaptively adjust the reference plane mirror to the direction of the incoming light, and then correct the pitch and horizontal adjustment angles of the main tracking collimator 4 and the adaptive adjustment device according to the laser image reflected back from the main tracking collimator 4, thereby realizing the alignment of the laser emitted by the reference plane mirror and the main tracking collimator 4.

[0045] The corner cube is mounted at the center of the reference plane mirror. Light is transmitted through a hole punched in the corner cube. It is used in conjunction with the PSD to sense the direction of the incident laser and simultaneously return incident laser light over a wide range, thereby achieving distance measurement. The reference plane mirror provides a high-precision mirror reflection reference for measurement alignment. The PSD is mounted on the PSD mount, which is mounted behind the centering ring. The centering ring has the reference plane mirror embedded within it. The assembled cube, reference plane mirror, PSD, centering ring, PSD mount, and reference plane mirror adjustment seat are collectively known as the corner cube reference plane mirror adjustment subassembly. The pitch rotation axis is a hollow structure with an axis; the angle cone reference plane mirror adjustment subassembly is placed in the hollow structure of the pitch rotation axis and is fixed by the reference plane mirror adjustment seat; the angle cone reference plane mirror adjustment subassembly is concentric and coaxial with the pitch rotation axis; the whole is placed inside the pitch axis mounting seat of the horizontal rotation adjustment assembly 1012; one end of the pitch rotation axis is equipped with a pitch circular grating mounting plate, which is placed in the mounting cover of the horizontal rotation adjustment assembly 1012; the other end is equipped with a pitch drive motor mover and a pitch drive motor stator, which are placed in the mounting cover of the horizontal rotation adjustment assembly 1012.

[0048] The control assembly 1014 includes a scale reading head processor, a motor driver, and a bottom mounting plate. The scale reading head processor processes angle measurement data, and the motor driver drives the horizontal drive motor. The bottom mounting plate is used to connect to an external mounting base.
[0049] See attached Figure 7 As shown, the working method of the system for automatic detection of the payload attitude of a large space probe 5 disclosed in the present invention is as follows:
[0050] The large-scale spatial detector 5 to be measured is fixedly installed. The spatial coordinate values of the adaptive alignment target 101 measured by the tracking collimator 4 are recorded. Simultaneously, alignment measurements are performed, recording the angle values of the tracking collimator 4 and the angle values of the adaptive target. This establishes a unified positional relationship between the two ground position and attitude measurement units and the tracking collimator 4, thus forming a ground measurement network. The coordinate measurement function of the tracking collimator 4 is used in conjunction with a spherical cone target to measure the reference points of the large-scale spatial detector 5 to be measured. Coordinate fitting is then used to align the measurement coordinate system with the coordinate system of the large-scale spatial detector 5. The tracking collimator 4, in conjunction with the ground position and attitude measurement unit, is used to perform spatial positioning measurements of the tracking collimator 4 mounted on the omnidirectional mobile spatial positioning platform 2, thereby providing the omnidirectional mobile spatial positioning platform 2 with ground and altitude guidance data. The tracking collimator 4, in conjunction with the ground position and attitude measurement unit, is used to perform spatial positioning measurements of the tracking collimator 4 mounted on the omnidirectional mobile spatial positioning platform 2, thereby providing the omnidirectional mobile spatial positioning platform 2 with ground and altitude guidance data. The omnidirectional mobile space positioning platform 2 plans a path based on the payload attitude measurement points and pointing data, and realizes initial positioning on the ground and in space in combination with the guidance data. The tracking and alignment measuring instrument 4 calculates its own position by means of alignment measurement and the positional relationship between the payload of the large-scale space detector 5 being measured. The precise positioning platform 3 and the vertical back frame then precisely adjust the position and attitude based on the alignment measurement results of the tracking and alignment measuring instrument 4. The tracking and alignment measuring instrument 4 then performs alignment measurement with the payload of the large-scale space detector 5 being measured, and performs alignment measurement with the adaptive alignment target 101 of the ground position and attitude measurement unit. The attitude measurements of different payloads are performed in sequence. When the tracking and alignment measuring instrument 4 reaches a position where it cannot see the adaptive alignment target 101 of the ground position and attitude measurement unit, the tracking and alignment measuring instrument 4 uses the data of the established ground measurement network to automatically calculate the positional relationship between its own position and the adaptive alignment target 101 of the ground position and attitude measurement unit on the other side, realizes automatic aiming and tracking measurement, and completes the measurement reference conversion. The attitude measurements of the remaining different payloads are completed in sequence.
