Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of aerospace launch technology, and in particular relates to an on-orbit maneuvering control method, equipment and storage medium for a parent and child satellite. Background Art
[0002] In current multi-satellite missions, the coordination between satellites is only achieved through mission planning and task allocation, and does not rely on orbital or position maneuvers. Multiple satellites complete their respective tasks through communication and data sharing, while their orbits and positions remain stationary. Even if the sub-satellite system design is adopted in some space missions, once the sub-satellite is released or deployed, no further maneuvering operations are performed. The sub-satellite relies on the initial release speed and orbital parameters to operate in orbit, while the mother satellite continues to perform main tasks and data processing. The non-maneuverable sub-satellite system cannot flexibly adjust the orbit and attitude according to mission requirements, and it is difficult to respond to emergencies or new mission requirements. For example, when it is necessary to readjust the formation or accurately align with the target, the non-maneuverable system is stretched, limiting its mission expansion capabilities.
[0003] In addition, as mission requirements become more complex, satellites need to be dynamically adjusted on-orbit, but non-maneuverable systems can only perform preset static missions and are difficult to flexibly respond to environmental changes or dynamic mission adjustments. This system has poor adaptability in multi-task scenarios, especially in missions that require immediate response (such as satellite attack and defense, earth observation, or space science exploration), and shows great limitations. Moreover, in non-maneuverable satellite formations, although the satellites are precisely designed to form a formation at the initial launch, over time, due to external disturbances such as solar radiation pressure, the inhomogeneity of the earth's gravitational field, and aerodynamic drag, the formation may gradually become unstable, and the relative position deviation between satellites increases, affecting the execution accuracy and effect of the mission. Moreover, in complex mission scenarios, especially missions that require multiple satellites to work together (such as formation imaging, synchronous observation, etc.), non-maneuverable systems lack orbit and attitude adjustment capabilities, making it difficult to achieve precise relative position control, resulting in unsatisfactory collaborative work effects. The inability to adjust the relative position and attitude between satellites in real time according to mission requirements seriously affects the system's mission execution capability.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to invent an on-orbit maneuvering control method for a parent-child satellite to solve the above-mentioned defects existing in the non-maneuvering parent-child satellite system in the prior art in performing missions. Summary of the invention
[0005] In order to solve the technical problems in the prior art of non-maneuverable parent-child satellite systems in the execution of missions, such as lack of flexibility, poor mission adaptability, low formation stability, and inability to achieve precise coordinated control, the present invention proposes an on-orbit maneuverable control method, device and storage medium for parent-child satellites, so as to improve the mission flexibility of the parent-child satellite system, enhance the accuracy of mission execution, improve the autonomy and reliability of missions, and enhance the collaborative working ability of the system.
[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a method for controlling the on-orbit maneuverability of a parent and child satellite, comprising the following steps:

[0010] Step 4: Establish a real-time monitoring system to continuously collect sub-satellite status information, orbital data and potential threat information, and adjust the maneuver control strategy based on the sub-satellite status information, orbital data and potential threat information.

[0012] The described method for on-orbit maneuvering control of a parent-child satellite also includes the following steps: determining whether data leakage or system failure occurs, and if so, isolating the affected modules.
[0013] In step 1, the specific method of controlling the parent star and the sub-star to enter orbit is:
[0014] After determining the best launch window, the rocket is launched to ensure that the parent satellite and the sub-satellite enter the space according to the predetermined trajectory;
[0015] After the mother satellite and the sub-satellite reach the predetermined orbit, the orbit correction thrusters are used to perform preliminary maneuvers to ensure that the mother satellite and the sub-satellite accurately enter the target orbit.
[0016] In the step 1, after the parent satellite and the sub-satellite enter the target orbit, the step of real-time monitoring of the orbital parameters of the satellite is also included.
[0017] The step 2 also includes the following steps: controlling the sub-satellite to implement a predetermined on-orbit maneuver according to the on-orbit maneuver strategy, wherein the on-orbit maneuver includes orbit change, maintaining relative position and avoiding collision; when implementing the predetermined on-orbit maneuver, monitoring the status of the propulsion system in real time to ensure stability and effectiveness during the maneuver.
[0018] In addition, the present invention also provides a parent-child satellite on-orbit maneuvering control device, including: a processor and a memory connected to the processor in communication;
[0019] The memory stores computer-executable instructions;
[0020] The processor executes the computer-executable instructions stored in the memory to implement the on-orbit maneuvering control method for a parent-child satellite.
[0021] The described on-orbit maneuvering control device for a parent and child satellite also includes an orbital parameter monitoring module, which is used to collect the orbital parameters of the satellite in real time and then send them to the processor to meet the needs of on-orbit maneuvering.
[0022] The computer-executable instructions stored in the memory include:
[0023] Status monitoring module: used to obtain the orbital parameters of the satellite in real time and send them to the decision algorithm module;
[0024] Autonomous maneuvering control module: used to obtain mission requirements in real time and calculate the satellite's on-orbit maneuvering strategy based on the autonomous maneuvering control algorithm;
[0025] Decision-making algorithm module: used to adjust the maneuvering control strategy according to satellite status information, orbit data and potential threat information;
[0026] Emergency Response Module: used to analyze potential offensive and defensive threats and assess possible impacts on on-orbit maneuver control; determine key defense measures for satellites and the parent satellite during maneuvers and develop response strategies.
[0027] In addition, the present invention also provides a computer-readable storage medium, in which computer-executable instructions are stored. When the computer-executable instructions are executed by a processor, they are used to implement the method for in-orbit maneuvering control of a parent and child satellite.
[0028] The present invention proposes a method, device and storage medium for controlling the on-orbit maneuverability of a parent and child satellite, which have the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art:
[0029] 1.

A real-time monitoring system is established to continuously collect satellite status information, orbital data and potential threat information, and dynamically adjust the maneuvering control strategy according to the monitoring data to ensure the adaptability and safety of the satellite in complex environments.

Specifically, it also includes the following steps: during the maneuvering and mission execution process, the collected data is encrypted and transmitted using a secure communication protocol to ensure the security of the information during transmission.
[0049] Furthermore, a method for on-orbit maneuvering control of a parent and child satellite in this embodiment also includes the following steps: determining whether data leakage or system failure occurs, and if so, isolating the affected modules.
