AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In existing technologies, the sensor layout for spacecraft magnetic moment testing leads to reduced testing accuracy. In particular, the reduced sensor spacing in near-field layouts results in a lower signal-to-noise ratio and increased testing error, making it difficult to meet the requirements for high-precision magnetic measurements.

Method used

Several special sensor layout methods based on near-field analysis were employed, including a spacecraft permanent magnet moment, a stray magnetic moment testing line layout, and a three-component magnetic sensor layout. By rationally arranging multiple magnetic acquisition sensors and magnetic monitoring sensors on the spacecraft's equatorial plane, the distance ratio between the sensors and the spacecraft was ensured to meet 0.4.

Benefits of technology

It improves the accuracy of magnetic testing of spacecraft and reduces testing errors, especially for large cylindrical shells and combined spacecraft, avoiding eccentricity errors and improving the accuracy of magnetic control.
