Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of approach observation of a service spacecraft multi-orbit maneuvering strategy, and relates to an approach observation method of a service spacecraft multi-orbit maneuvering strategy based on J2 perturbation compensation. Background Art
[0002] The actual needs of space missions have led to the study of orbital maneuvering strategies for on-orbit servicing and close observation problems, especially in dealing with space targets, such as space debris and repairing failed spacecraft. With the continuous advancement of space technology and the increase in the frequency of space activities, the complexity of the space environment has also increased, making the protection of space assets and the handling of space targets a common challenge faced by the aerospace field. When performing these tasks, the service spacecraft needs to be able to perform orbital maneuvers accurately to complete various close observation tasks. Traditional on-orbit servicing problem research is usually based on the continuous thrust model and uses methods such as differential games to find the optimal maneuvering strategy. Although these methods are quite mature in theory, in practical applications, since the service spacecraft mainly relies on pulse thrust to perform orbital maneuvers, there is a difference between the continuous thrust model and the actual operation, which limits its application effect in actual space missions. In addition, considering the impact of J2 perturbations on the orbit, this perturbation must also be taken into account in orbit design and maneuvering strategies to improve the accuracy and reliability of the mission.
[0003] In the field of spacecraft orbital maneuvering strategies, although theoretical methods such as differential games provide a theoretical framework for on-orbit servicing problems, these methods are mostly based on continuous thrust models, while actual service spacecraft orbital maneuvers rely more on pulse thrust. The difference between this model and actual operation may cause existing methods to face certain limitations when dealing with pulse thrust spacecraft on-orbit servicing problems. In addition, existing studies mostly focus on finding the optimal fuel solution under the constraint of approach distance, and rarely consider the impact of orbit change strategy selection on the final relative position of the service spacecraft, which may limit the in-depth understanding of the relative motion law of the service spacecraft and the comprehensive optimization of the maneuvering strategy. At the same time, most existing studies are based on the CW equation, and only explore the maneuvering strategy of the service spacecraft under the two-body dynamics model. The impact of J2 perturbation, as the most important perturbation force of the non-spherical earth, has a decisive influence on the on-orbit operation of the service spacecraft. It not only causes long-term changes in orbital elements, but also causes nutation and precession of the orbital plane. These effects are crucial for precise orbit maintenance, formation flight of service spacecraft, and mission execution. Therefore, it is necessary to fully consider the impact of J2 perturbation in the orbit design and control of the service spacecraft to ensure that the service spacecraft completes its mission safely and effectively. Summary of the invention

This method aims to optimize the orbital maneuver of the service spacecraft and provide an approximate range for the maneuvering parameters that meet the mission constraints to improve the efficiency and accuracy of the algorithm. In addition, considering the impact of the J2 perturbation on the orbit, this technology establishes the equation of motion and relationship equations under the J2 perturbation to improve the accuracy of the orbital design and maneuvering strategy. Through this technology, the relative motion of the service spacecraft in the actual space environment can be more accurately understood and predicted, providing a solid scientific basis for the orbital design and mission planning of the service spacecraft.

[0022] In step 2, the relationship equation is:
[0023]
[0024]
[0025]
[0026] Where [M, N, U] is the end time position.
[0027] In step 3, the end time distance constraint is: r1<r pe <r2; where r pe is the relative distance between the service spacecraft and the space target, r1 is the shortest distance between the service spacecraft and the space target, and r2 is the farthest distance between the service spacecraft and the space target;

[0059] Step 3: Setting constraints that meet the task requirements, wherein the constraints consist of a termination time distance constraint, a termination time illumination angle constraint, and a single speed increment constraint;
[0060] Step 4: uniformly sample all the termination time positions that meet the termination time distance constraint, input all the sampling points into the service spacecraft multi-orbit maneuvering strategy model, output the single velocity increment required for the service spacecraft to reach the termination time position, retain the single velocity increment that meets both the termination time illumination angle constraint and the single velocity increment constraint, and obtain the velocity increment solution set;
[0061] Step 5: Construct a circular area with the space target as the center and a radius that satisfies the distance constraint at the termination time; use the circular area to display the relative distance between the service spacecraft and the space target corresponding to each single velocity increment in the velocity increment solution set; when the service spacecraft arrives at the circular area at the specified time, the marking mission is successful; the orbital maneuvering strategy of the service spacecraft is obtained from each successful single velocity increment of the marking mission to conduct close observation of the space target.
[0062] In step 1, the equation of motion is:
[0063]
[0064]
[0065]
[0066] Where [x, y, z] is the position vector of the service spacecraft after time t in the target orbital coordinate system, and t is the time from the initial time; represents the state vector of the service spacecraft at the initial time t0 of the mission in the target orbital coordinate system, where the state vector includes the position vector and the velocity vector, [x0, y0, z0] is the position vector, is the velocity vector; c is the perturbation coefficient, i ref is the average orbital inclination of the space target, r ref is the average orbital radius of the space object, R e is the radius of the earth, J2 is the harmonic coefficient of the gravity field, and n is the average orbital angular velocity of the service spacecraft.
[0067] In step 2, the relative motion propagation relationship is:
[0068]
[0069] In the formula, is the velocity vector of the service spacecraft at the initial time t0 of the mission in the target orbit coordinate system,
[0070] [ΔV x ,ΔV y ,ΔV z ] is the single velocity increment of the service spacecraft when the pulse increment is applied at the initial moment t0 of the mission, that is, the velocity increment obtained by the service spacecraft in the three directions x, y, and z of the target orbit coordinate system, [V x0 ,V y0 ,V z0 ] is the velocity of the service spacecraft before the pulse increment is applied.
[0071] In step 2, the relationship equation is:
[0072]
[0073]
[0074]
[0075] Where [M, N, U] is the position at the end time. This relationship equation does not consider the maneuvering strategy under constraints. Given the initial and final state position vectors, the pulse increment required for track change can be obtained.
[0076] In step 3, in order to make the strategy more realistic and operational, constraints were added when solving the model. The constraints involved the proximity of the target point, the sun angle of the target point, and the maximum speed change allowed for a single maneuver. By introducing constraints, it is ensured that the maneuver strategy not only meets the control characteristics of the service spacecraft, but also meets the specific requirements of the mission objectives; among them, the termination time distance constraint is: r1<r pe <r2; where r pe is the relative distance between the service spacecraft and the space target, r1 is the shortest distance between the service spacecraft and the space target, and r2 is the farthest distance between the service spacecraft and the space target;
[0077] The illumination angle constraint at the termination time is: θ1<θ<θ2; where θ is the illumination angle, that is, the angle between the vector of the space target pointing to the sun and the vector of the space target pointing to the service spacecraft, θ1 is the upper limit of the illumination angle, and θ2 is the lower limit of the illumination angle;
[0078] The single velocity increment constraint is: In the formula, [ΔV x ,ΔV y ,ΔV z ] is the velocity increment obtained by the service spacecraft in the x, y, and z directions of the target orbit coordinate system, ΔV Represents the total velocity increment available for a single orbit change of the serviced spacecraft.
[0079] In step 4, the uniform sampling method includes:
[0080] The orbital parameter range of the service spacecraft is set, with the space target at the termination time as the origin and the azimuth, pitch angle and distance of the service spacecraft relative to the space target as the step size to ensure the uniformity of sampling.
[0081] In step 4, the single speed increment that satisfies both the illumination angle constraint at the termination time and the single speed increment constraint is retained, and the method for obtaining the speed increment solution set includes:
[0082] Eliminate the single speed increment that does not meet the illumination angle constraint at the end time;
[0083] Calculate the velocity increment ΔV obtained by each single velocity increment in the remaining single velocity increments in the three directions of the target orbit coordinate system x, y, and z x , ΔV y , ΔV z The sum of is the total speed increment, and the total speed increment exceeding the threshold is excluded to obtain the speed increment solution set.
[0084] Step five also includes the step of selecting a service spacecraft orbital maneuvering strategy that meets predefined standards as the best orbital maneuvering strategy for close-in observation of the space target.
[0085] In step five, the predefined criteria are defined based on mission requirements, including but not limited to selecting the service spacecraft orbital maneuvering strategy corresponding to the smallest velocity increment or the shortest transfer time among the service spacecraft orbital maneuvering strategies that mark the success of the mission as the optimal orbital maneuvering strategy for close observation of the space target.
[0086] In step 5, the circular area whose radius satisfies the distance constraint at the end time is:
[0087] A first circular area with a radius of r1 being the closest distance between the service spacecraft and the space target, and a second circular area with a radius of r2 being the farthest distance between the service spacecraft and the space target, the first circular area and the second circular area are concentric circles.
[0088] In order to explain the technical solution of the present invention in detail, a specific example is now provided:
[0089] The target orbit coordinate system is Figure 1 As shown:
[0090] An orbital coordinate system is established with the space debris as the origin. The origin O of the coordinate system is fixedly connected to the center of mass of the service spacecraft and moves along the orbit with it. The x-axis coincides with the geocentric radius r of the service spacecraft. The y-axis is perpendicular to the x-axis in the orbital plane, pointing in the positive direction of motion. The z-axis is determined by the right-hand rule, that is, in the direction of the orbital angular momentum.
[0091] In a certain mission, at an initial time t0 = 0, the service spacecraft and the space debris are located in an orbit with an altitude of 35779 km. The initial position of the service spacecraft relative to the space debris is shown in Table 1. The service spacecraft is planned to perform orbital maneuvers through pulse thrust. The mission goal is to make the service spacecraft at t f = Approaching space debris after 10 hours, and the final distance must be between 10 km and 50 km, and the illumination angle is required to be between 0° and 90°. In addition, the speed increment of each pulse thrust is controlled, and its maximum value shall not exceed 10 m / s.
[0092] Table 1
[0093]
[0094] In order to meet the task requirements, the constraints are established as follows:
[0095] 0<θ<90;
[0096] 10km<r pe <50km;
[0097]
[0098] By calculating the relational equation and screening through constraints, we ensure that only solutions that are feasible in actual operations are retained, thereby ensuring the practicality of the solution. Finally, 128,775 single speed increments that meet the constraints are determined to form the speed increment solution set. These single speed increments represent possible paths for mission success in specific scenarios.
[0099] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, by constructing two circular areas with the space debris as the center and the radius of 10 kilometers and 50 kilometers respectively, the reach of the service spacecraft can be intuitively displayed under the conditions of satisfying the single velocity increment constraint and the illumination angle constraint at the termination time. When the service spacecraft reaches these areas at the specified time, the mission can be considered successful. The end points of different colors represent different single velocity increments. This visualization method provides an intuitive way to identify and select the best orbital maneuvering strategy. After adding each single velocity increment that marks the success of the mission to the original velocity, the orbital maneuvering strategy of the service spacecraft can be obtained by propagating through the existing propagation model. The present invention does not improve the existing propagation method, which will not be repeated here.
[0100] By using the method described in this example, it is possible to accurately calculate the velocity increment solution set required for the service spacecraft to approach the space debris after 10 hours under a specific initial state. This method not only optimizes the calculation process of orbital maneuvers, but also ensures the accurate achievement of mission objectives. Experimental data confirms that the method of the present invention can efficiently handle complex orbital maneuvering problems, ensure that the service spacecraft approaches the space debris within the predetermined time, and complete the established mission under the conditions of satisfying the illumination angle constraint at the termination time and the distance constraint at the termination time. In addition, the present invention provides a more direct calculation method for actual operations through specific relational expressions, which significantly improves the success rate and efficiency of mission execution.
