Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a dynamic analysis and attitude control method for an electrodynamic multi-rope structure, belonging to the field of dynamics and control of spacecraft orbit and attitude. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, with the rapid development of mega-constellation programs worldwide, the number of space launches and the number of spacecraft in orbit have exploded, leading to a surge in space debris. This poses a threat to the safety of spacecraft in orbit and future space activities, making active debris removal essential. Among numerous active debris removal technologies, electro-powered ropes have attracted considerable attention due to their advantages of no fuel consumption, ease of implementation, and low cost.
[0003] Electro-dynamic tethers typically consist of three parts: the primary satellite, the secondary satellite, and a conductive tether, with the primary and secondary satellites connected by the conductive tether. Currently, electro-dynamic tethers are mainly single-tether structures. However, this single-tether structure not only has low redundancy and poor survivability, but also generates excessive current and voltage, damaging circuit structures and electronic components, thus leading to the failure of space debris removal missions. To address the problems and shortcomings of this type of electro-dynamic single-tether structure, the structural design of the electro-dynamic tether must be improved to increase system redundancy and survivability, thereby improving the success rate of space debris removal missions. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the issues of low redundancy, poor survival rate, and excessive current in a single tether of an electrodynamic single-tether structure, this invention aims to provide a dynamic analysis and attitude control method for an electrodynamic multi-tether structure. This method utilizes an electrodynamic multi-tether structure, connecting the primary and secondary satellites via multiple conductive tethers. While achieving the same deorbit efficiency as a single-tether structure, it also improves redundancy and survival rate, and reduces the maximum current in a single tether. By performing dynamic analysis and attitude control on the electrodynamic multi-tether structure, the method simultaneously stabilizes the attitude motion of the virtual rod and the primary satellite, avoiding the need for separate attitude control of the primary satellite and virtual rod, thus reducing the complexity of the control system.
[0005] The objective of this invention is achieved through the following technical solutions.

In this structure, the primary star is treated as a rigid body, the secondary star as a point mass, and the conductive tethers as massless elastic rods. The line connecting the primary star's center of mass and the secondary star is defined as a virtual rod. The three attitude angles of the primary star, the two attitude angles of the virtual rod, and the length of the virtual rod are selected as generalized coordinates.

We select three attitude angles α, β, and γ of the primary star, and two attitude angles θ and γ of the virtual rod. and the length l of the virtual rod s,m As a generalized coordinate:

The attitude of the virtual rod is controlled by the dynamic equations. Based on the generalized coordinates α, β, and γ of the primary star, the attitude of the primary star is controlled by the dynamic equations of the primary star attitude angle α, β, and γ constructed in step two. This simultaneously stabilizes the attitude motion of the virtual rod and the primary star, avoiding the need to control the attitude of the primary star and the virtual rod separately, and reducing the control complexity of the electrodynamic multi-rope structure.

In the dynamic equations, the attitude angle of the virtual rod can be controlled. Then, by combining equations (2), (4), and (5), the attitude motion of the virtual rod and the main star of the electrodynamic multi-rope structure can be stabilized simultaneously.

[0037] 3. The present invention discloses a dynamic analysis and attitude control method for an electro-dynamic multi-tether structure.

[0046] To better illustrate the purpose and advantages of the present invention, the specific embodiments and effects of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to examples and accompanying drawings.
[0047] like Figure 8 As shown in the figure, the specific implementation steps of the electrodynamic multi-rope structure dynamic analysis and attitude control method disclosed in this embodiment are as follows:
[0048] Step 1: Accelerate the primary satellite's deorbiting using an electrodynamic multi-tether structure. Release the secondary satellite and conductive tethers when acceleration is required. The electrodynamic multi-tether structure consists of the primary satellite, the secondary satellite, and multiple conductive tethers. In this structure, the primary satellite is treated as a rigid body, the secondary satellite as a point mass, and the conductive tethers as massless elastic rods. The line connecting the primary satellite's center of mass and the secondary satellite is defined as a virtual rod. The three attitude angles of the primary satellite, the two attitude angles of the virtual rod, and the length of the virtual rod are chosen as generalized coordinates. The on-orbit motion diagram and structural composition diagram of the electrodynamic multi-tether structure are shown below. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown.
[0049] Step 2: Define the inertial frame, Earth-following coordinate system, orbital frame, primary star coordinate system, and virtual rod coordinate system used to construct the dynamic model of the electrodynamic multi-rope structure; based on the vector matrix operation rules, derive the dynamic equations for the six generalized coordinates of the electrodynamic multi-rope structure through the Lagrange equations. The dynamic equations for each generalized coordinate are: the dynamic equation for the primary star attitude angle α, the dynamic equation for the primary star attitude angle β, the dynamic equation for the primary star attitude angle γ, the dynamic equation for the virtual rod attitude angle θ, and the dynamic equation for the virtual rod attitude angle γ. The dynamic equations regarding the virtual rod length l s,m The dynamic equations are derived. Based on the six generalized coordinate dynamic equations, a dynamic model of the electrodynamic multi-tether structure is constructed, and the coupling dynamic characteristics between the tether and the host star are characterized through the dynamic model of the electrodynamic multi-tether structure.
[0050] The total kinetic energy of the electrodynamic multi-rope structure is:
[0051]
[0052] Where m m The mass of the main star.
[0053] The total potential energy is:
[0054]
[0055] Where μ g is the Earth's gravitational constant.
[0056] The system's Lagrangian function L can be expressed as:
[0057]
[0058] Substituting the above equation into the Lagrange equation, we can obtain the dynamic equations of the six generalized coordinates of the electrodynamic multi-rope structure. The final results are equations (2), (4)-(8).
[0059] For the electrodynamic multi-tether structure involved in this invention, the external environmental forces mainly considered are Earth's gravity and the Lorentz force, where Earth's gravity is a conservative force and has already been considered in the Lagrange function. The three components of the Lorentz force acting on the i-th tether in the primary star system are... and It can be represented as:
[0060]
[0061]
[0062]
[0063] The forces represented by equations (14)-(16) are the Lorentz forces in equations (2) and (4)-(5).
[0064] Step 3: Using the ETDA control strategy, adjust the generalized coordinates θ of the virtual rod and Control is performed based on the generalized coordinates θ of the virtual rod. Based on the dynamic equations of the virtual rod attitude angle θ constructed in step two, and the virtual rod attitude angle... The attitude of the virtual rod is controlled by the dynamic equations. Based on the generalized coordinates α, β, and γ of the primary star, the attitude of the primary star is controlled by the dynamic equations of the primary star attitude angle α, β, and γ constructed in step two. This achieves the goal of simultaneously stabilizing the attitude motion of the virtual rod and the primary star, avoiding the need to control the attitude of the primary star and the virtual rod separately, and reducing the control complexity of the electrodynamic multi-rope structure.
[0065] The control input of the ETDA control strategy is shown in equation (9). The control input of equation (9) is... and The attitude of the virtual lever can be controlled by substituting the values into equations (6) and (7) respectively. The control flow of the ETDA control strategy is shown in the figure.
[0066] Step 4: Using the dynamic equations of the electrodynamic multi-rope structure derived in Step 2, analyze the attitude dynamic characteristics of the electrodynamic multi-rope structure under uncontrolled conditions. Then, use the ETDA control strategy from Step 3 to control the electrodynamic multi-rope structure and verify the effectiveness of the control strategy in the multi-rope structure.
[0067] Given the electrodynamic multi-tether structure and initial orbital conditions as shown in Tables 1 and 2, it is assumed that at the initial moment, the virtual rod is located at the local vertical, the host star's body system coincides with the orbital system, neither the virtual rod nor the host star has an initial attitude angular velocity, and all tether elastic deformations are zero. The multi-tether structure is as follows: Figure 2 As shown in the figure, there are four conductive tethers, and their connection points to the main star are located at the midpoints of the four sides of the same face of the main star.

[0069]
[0070] Table 5.2 Initial conditions of the orbit
[0071]
[0072] When no control is applied to the electrodynamic multi-wire structure, the attitude motion of the virtual rod is as follows: Figure 3 As shown. In the simulation, the current of each tether is 0.19A. Under uncontrolled conditions, the outer angle of the virtual rod surface shows a gradually increasing amplitude, exceeding 80° at the 100th orbital cycle, as... Figure 3 As shown in (a). It is generally believed that when the amplitude of the attitude angle swing exceeds 90°, it is in an unstable state. Obviously, it is already very close to the unstable state at this time. Although the in-plane angle of the virtual rod is in a relatively stable motion state in the first 80 orbital cycles, it can be seen from equation (6) that there is a coupling relationship between the in-plane angle and the out-of-plane angle. When the out-of-plane angle increases rapidly and approaches the unstable state in the 80th to 100th orbital cycles, the amplitude of the in-plane angle also increases rapidly during this period and eventually exceeds 90°, entering the unstable state before the out-of-plane angle.
[0073] When no control is applied to the electrodynamic multi-tether structure, the primary star's attitude motion is as follows: Figure 4As shown in the figure, the first and third attitude angles of the primary star enter an unstable state after approximately 100 orbital periods. Since the rotation sequence of the primary star's attitude angles is "3-1-2," and the attitude motion of the virtual rod relative to the orbital system can also be considered as a "3-1-2" rotation, where the second rotation angle is 0°, therefore, the comparison... Figure 3 (a) and Figure 4 (a), and Figure 3 (b) and Figure 4 (c) It can be found that the changing trends of the first and third attitude angles of the primary star are consistent with the outer and inner angles of the virtual rod, respectively. This means that if the attitude motion of the virtual rod can be kept stable, the attitude motion of the primary star can be kept stable indirectly.
[0074] When the electrodynamic multi-rope structure is controlled based on the ETDA strategy, and the parameters of the electrodynamic multi-rope structure and the initial conditions of the track remain unchanged, the attitude motion of the virtual rod is as follows: Figure 5 As shown. The control parameters in the strategy at this time... Depend on Figure 5 It can be seen that the in-plane angle swing of the virtual rod converges to around -15° after approximately 10 orbital periods. Similarly, the out-of-plane angle also stabilizes around 0° under the control of the controller. When the virtual rod's attitude motion is controlled, the primary star's attitude motion is as follows: Figure 6 As shown. The primary star's first attitude angle is basically stable around -15°, as... Figure 6 As shown in (a); the second and third attitude angles move within the ranges of [-15°, 15°] and [-6°, 6°] respectively, as shown in (a); while the second and third attitude angles move within the ranges of [-15°, 15°] and [-6°, 6°] respectively, as shown in (a). Figure 6 (b) and Figure 6 As shown in (c), the simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the ETDA control strategy in electrodynamic multi-tether structures. This strategy can simultaneously stabilize the attitude motion of the virtual rod and the primary star in the multi-tether structure.

It should be understood that the above description is only a specific embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.
