AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In inter-star laser distance interferometer, due to the delay in beam transmission time and non-ideality of orbital mechanics caused by long distances between stars, the front finger angle changes, which makes the laser beam unable to be accurately received and emitted, affecting the establishment and maintenance of the laser link.

Method used

The space scanning technology based on the fore-finger angle mirror is adopted, and the outgoing laser beam is controlled to perform sub-region space scanning through the fore-finger angle mirror, and combined with the driving of a large-mass one-dimensional overall pointing deflection mechanism and satellite platform, the sub-region scanning of uncertain areas is realized until the remote satellite receives the laser beam and corrects its direction.

Benefits of technology

Through fast space scanning technology, inter-star laser links can be quickly established and maintained, reducing time costs and propellant consumption costs, and making full use of the limited beam pointing control resources on the star.

Abstract

The present invention discloses an intersatellite laser link capture device and method based on forward-pointing angle rotating mirror space scanning, which belongs to the field of spacecraft laser capture. The local satellite uses the forward-pointing angle rotating mirror to control the outgoing laser beam to perform sub-region space scanning; uses a large-mass one-dimensional overall pointing deflection mechanism and a satellite platform to control the outgoing laser beam to perform a drive to move the sub-region; repeats the first step after moving the sub-region; cyclically scans the uncertain area in different regions until the remote satellite receives the outgoing laser beam to correct the remote satellite pointing and emit a return beam to the local satellite. After receiving the return beam, the local satellite stops scanning and corrects its pointing. The present invention adopts the above-mentioned intersatellite laser link capture device and method based on forward-pointing angle rotating mirror space scanning, which can achieve the purpose of making full use of the limited beam pointing control resources on the satellite and greatly reducing the time cost and propellant consumption cost of the intersatellite laser link capture task.
