[0117] Example

[0118] This embodiment presents a multi-pulse parallel construction method for space gravitational wave detection formations using a parallel initialization approach. To demonstrate the versatility of this method, an equilateral triangle formation, the most common formation in space gravitational wave detection missions, is selected. Three spacecraft are positioned at the three vertices of the triangle, rotating around the flight center, as shown below. Figure 2 As shown, the formation formation is constructed by the simultaneous initialization of three spacecraft departing from the flyby center.

[0119] This embodiment places the formation's center position on the solar orbit, with an orbital radius of 149,579,870.7 km. Its orbital six elements are set as follows: semi-major axis... eccentricity track inclination Right ascension of ascending node Perihelion angle True close angle .

[0120] Specifically, it includes the following steps:

[0121] S1, based on mission requirements, determine the required formation size of the spacecraft in the formation. km, flight radius Pulse count .

[0122] S2, Derivation of the initial conditions for the circular configuration of the spacecraft based on the Clohessy-Wiltshire equations:

[0123] (1)

[0124] in The initial phase angle of the spacecraft on the fly-around circle, parameter This represents the orbital angular velocity of the primary star located in a circular orbit. The initial phase angle of three spacecraft in a triangular formation can be set as follows: , , The virtual flyby center of the spacecraft formation is located on the Sun's orbit, with an angular velocity of: .

[0125] The state variables of the three spacecraft are:

[0126] (2)

[0127] Based on the geometrical positional relationship of the three spacecraft in the formation constellation for gravitational wave detection, such as Figure 3 As shown, the terminal state constraints of each spacecraft after parallel construction are calculated:

[0128] (3)

[0129] S3 uses an optimization algorithm to calculate the optimal application time and velocity increment of each pulse in multi-pulse initialization control.

[0130] S4 further derives and calculates the state quantities of each spacecraft at each moment during the entire gravitational wave detection formation construction process, providing a basis for the implementation of actual engineering missions.

[0131] The determination of input parameters in S1 can be broken down into the following steps. First, based on mission requirements, the orbit of the formation and related parameters are determined. Then, the formation size, i.e., the orbital radius of the spacecraft within the formation, is determined. and the number of pulses applied .

[0132] The initial relative positions and velocities of all satellites in the formation are calculated according to equation (2). The calculated state variables containing relative positions and velocities are the target states of the multi-pulse required in subsequent steps.

[0133] according to Figure 4 As shown, based on the linearized Clohessy-Wiltshire equations for a circular orbit, the relationship between the velocity pulse increment and the initial and target states at each time step is derived. Considering the addition of control terms and expanding it into a state-space model, the equations are as follows:

[0136] The analytical solution is:

[0137] (5)

[0138] in ,

[0141] (6)

[0142] in .

[0143] Order to take For the moment when parallel construction is completed, for the first One spacecraft, Let the state variables of the spacecraft represent the state variables of the spacecraft at the moment when the formation is completed. Then, it becomes a matrix multiplication form as follows:

[0144] (7)

[0145] In the formula, This indicates the time when each pulse is applied.

[0146] In S3, it is necessary to calculate the velocity increment at each pulse application time in the multi-pulse initialization control. This can be described in detail below.

Based on the initial formation state, i.e., the pulse target state, calculated in equation (2), the optimal pulse application time in this equation is determined using an optimization algorithm. We searched for and identified its optimal performance indicator as fuel efficiency.

[0154] Fuel is extremely precious in space missions; therefore, this method constructs a performance index function:

[0155] (12)

[0156] definition The mathematical description of the optimization problem at this point is:

[0157] (13)

[0158] The goal is to minimize fuel consumption, achieving fuel optimization, with the timing of each pulse application being the optimization variable. Then, based on the determined target state after the pulse and the pulse application time, the velocity increment under each pulse can be calculated.

[0159] Step 4 further calculates the state variables of each spacecraft at each moment during the formation process and corrects them using differential correction. This step will be described in more detail below:

[0160] Based on the Clohessy-Wiltshire equation, the state variables at each moment during the formation construction process are calculated from the target state of the pulse, the pulse application time, and the velocity increment at each pulse application time calculated in S3.

[0161] Then, the linearization error in the above process is corrected by using the target shooting iterative algorithm. The steps of differential correction are as follows.

[0162] (1) Given a set of initial velocity increments Through a dynamic nonlinear model Integrating the data yields the actual terminal status:

[0163] (14)

[0164] (2) Calculate the error amount of the pulse termination state:

[0165] (15)

[0166] (3) Determine the correction value of the pulse velocity in reverse through the state transition matrix:

[0167] (16)

[0168] (4) The corrected pulse velocity is obtained as follows:

[0169] (17)

[0170] (5) Integrate again using the nonlinear model and calculate the terminal state error, i.e., repeat the aforementioned steps (1)-(2). If the corrected pulse velocity This can make the error amount If the error is less than the given value (determined according to the control accuracy requirements in actual problems), the iterative correction ends; if the error is greater than the given value, continue with steps (3)-(4) for another correction, and repeat the iteration. The given value is determined according to the requirements of the actual detection mission for the stability of the formation configuration.

[0171] For the initialization problem of this space gravitational wave detection formation, all three spacecraft in the formation satisfy equation (8), and the formation initialization is completed in parallel. The initial positions of the three spacecraft are the same. .

[0172] After optimization, the obtained pulse application time and velocity increment are as follows:

[0173] Table 1. Velocity increments at each time point

[0174]

[0175] After differential correction optimization, the changes in the distance between the three spacecraft (i.e., the formation arm length) at each moment during the formation formation process are as follows: Figure 5 As shown, the changes in the distances of the three spacecraft from the formation center at various moments during the formation formation process are as follows: Figure 6 As shown, the target optimization is as follows: Figure 7 As shown.

[0176] In summary, this invention provides a multi-pulse parallel construction method for gravitational wave detection formations that considers timing optimization. By applying subpulses, each spacecraft in the formation moves to a preset designated position, thereby forming a spacecraft formation suitable for space gravitational wave detection. By providing steps for calculating the initial position and velocity of each spacecraft and applying initialization control to reach the initial position and velocity, the state variables of each spacecraft at each moment during the formation construction process are calculated. This provides a reference for the design of satellite formation missions in practical engineering applications. Furthermore, by using differential correction, the accuracy of the linearized relative motion dynamics model established for the multi-pulse parallel space gravitational wave detection formation is improved, and the errors existing in the relative motion dynamics model are reduced. This method can effectively reach the preset initial state and improve the working efficiency of the formation components.
