Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of satellite technology, and more specifically, to a method, device, medium and system for optimizing autonomous power consumption of a transit satellite payload. Background Art

[0002] When the satellite is in orbit and performing its mission, some payloads only need to work in the territory. The payloads switch their working modes by determining the entry and exit status of the current satellite. They work in full state in the territory and in standby mode outside the territory. For example, the data transmission payload used for communication between the satellite and the ground station needs to turn on the transmitting component during the satellite transit and turn off the transmitting component after leaving the territory to prevent the signal from being maliciously received outside the territory, while achieving the purpose of saving satellite power consumption.

[0003] The standby working mode of the transit payload abroad can certainly save some power consumption, but some modules are still in working state. This part of energy will be wasted abroad. In addition, with the vigorous development and application of small low-orbit satellites at this stage, satellite energy is more tight and the control of power consumption is more stringent. How to utilize the energy consumed by the payload standby work after leaving the country is a current problem, and there is no effective solution yet. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art and to provide a method, device, medium and system for optimizing the autonomous power consumption of a transit satellite payload, which can solve the problem of satellite energy shortage and promote the development and application of satellites.

[0019] S11: In T 1 On this basis, continue to extrapolate time t to obtain T 0 Satellite position X at time +(n+1)·t n+1 , calculate the distance threshold and determine whether the satellite is visible;

[0020] S12: If the ground station is not visible, indicating that the satellite is outside the country, then execute S11, continue to extrapolate time t, and determine whether the satellite is visible according to step 11; after executing m times, T 0 +(n+m)·t corresponds to the satellite position X n+m If the ground station is visible, it means that the satellite has just entered the country, and the time T is recorded.2 =T 0 +(n+m-1)·t is the entry time of the satellite;

[0021] S13: The calculated departure time T 1 and entry time T 2 The data packets are packaged according to the established data packet format and sent to the satellite's energy management unit, which executes the countdown to complete the outbound shutdown and inbound startup operations of the corresponding payload.

[0022] Furthermore, the satellite position is obtained by extrapolating and converting six numbers.

[0037] All features disclosed in all embodiments in this specification, or steps in all methods or processes implicitly disclosed, except for mutually exclusive features and / or steps, can be combined and / or expanded or replaced in any manner.

[0038] The specific implementation process of the present invention is as follows:

[0039] In view of the problems in the background, the present invention proposes a method for optimizing the autonomous power consumption of a transit satellite payload, which is divided into the following steps:

[0040] Step 1: The system working architecture includes the transit workload and the power management unit for realizing the power supply of the workload (see Figure 1 ).

[0041] Step 2: Get the current satellite position coordinates S, the ground station position coordinates T, and the effective visible elevation angle γ of the ground station (see Figure 2 ).

[0042] Step 3: Calculate the visible distance threshold, which is related to the satellite's location and the ground station's visible angle γ (γ ≥ 0°), and can adapt to the impact of satellite orbit changes. The calculation formula is as follows:

[0043]

[0044] Where θ is the calculated angle, and θ=(90+γ)°. When the visible angle γ=0°, the satellite position is Figure 1 In the S1 coordinate, the distance threshold calculation formula is simplified to:

[0045]

[0046] Step 4: Calculate the straight-line distance between the satellite position S and the ground station T, denoted as d;

[0047] Step 5: Determine the difference between the distance d and the threshold. If d≤D, the satellite is visible. If d>D, the satellite is not visible.

[0048] Step 6: Transit payload performs autonomous calculation process (see Figure 3 ), get the current system time T 0 The satellite position under 0 .

[0049] Specifically, the autonomous computing process of the environment payload includes the following sub-steps:

[0050] S1, get the current time T0;

[0051] S2, obtain the satellite position X at the current moment;

[0052] S3, calculate threshold D and calculate distance d;

[0053] S4, determine whether it is visible, if not, return to step S1, otherwise proceed to the next step;

[0054] S5, time extrapolation t;

[0055] S6, calculate the extrapolated satellite position X;

[0056] S7, calculating the threshold D and the distance d;

[0057] S8, determine whether it is visible, if yes, return to step S5, otherwise proceed to the next step;

[0058] S9, shutdown delay T1, jump to step S15;

[0059] S10, time extrapolation t;

[0060] S11, calculate the extrapolated satellite position X;

[0061] S12, calculating the threshold D and the distance d;

[0062] S13, determine whether it is visible, if yes, return to step S10, otherwise proceed to the next step;

[0063] S14, power-on delay T2;

[0064] S15, generating satellite data packets;

[0065] S16, sending to the satellite energy management unit to execute the power on / off operation.

[0066] Step 7: Calculate the distance threshold D according to formula (1), and simultaneously calculate the straight-line distance between the satellite and the ground station. The satellite autonomously determines whether the ground station is visible.

[0067] Step 8: If the ground station is not visible, go back to step 6; if the ground station is visible, it means the satellite is within the territory, and go to step 9;

[0068] Step 9: Extrapolate time t to obtain T 0 + Satellite position X at time t 1 , calculate the distance threshold D according to formula (1), and calculate the straight-line distance d between the satellite and the ground station 1 , the satellite autonomously determines whether the ground station is visible;

[0069] Step 10: If the ground station is visible, execute step 9 and continue to extrapolate time t to calculate T 0 Satellite position X at time +2t 2 , and determine whether the satellite is visible according to step 9. After executing n times, T 0 +n·t corresponding to the satellite position is recorded as X n If the ground is not visible, it means the satellite is out of the sky. Record the time T 1 =T 0 +(n+1)·t is the departure time of the satellite.

[0070] Step 11: In T 1 On this basis, continue to extrapolate time t to obtain T 0 Satellite position X at time +(n+1)·t n+1 , calculate the distance threshold, and determine whether the satellite is visible.

[0071] Step 12: If the ground station is not visible, indicating that the satellite is outside the country, then execute step 11, continue to extrapolate time t, and determine whether the satellite is visible based on step 11. After executing m times, T 0 +(n+m)·t corresponds to the satellite position X n+m If the ground station is visible, it means that the satellite has just entered the country, and the time T is recorded. 2 =T 0 +(n+m-1)·t is the entry time of the satellite.

[0072] Step 13: The calculated departure time T 1 and entry time T 2 The data packets are packaged according to the established data packet format and sent to the satellite's energy management unit, which executes the countdown to complete the outbound shutdown and inbound startup operations of the corresponding payload.

[0073] In other embodiments of the present invention, it is assumed that the full-state working power consumption of a certain payload is 32W in China, the standby power consumption is 16W outside China, the orbit extrapolation time interval is t=1s, and the satellite position is obtained by extrapolating and converting six numbers. The station address data is detailed in Table 1, T 0 The six numbers corresponding to the time are detailed in Table 2.

[0074] The satellite visibility at time T0 for 48 hours is analyzed, and the simulation results are as follows: Figure 3 The corresponding first 7 entry and exit times are shown in Table 3. The longest overseas duration was 47929s, about 13.3h.

[0075] Assume that the load is at T 0 Always on, according to Figure 2 The calculation process is determined to be overseas and the subsequent calculation process is not executed; it is assumed that the load is at T 0 +700s, the payload is automatically judged as being in the territory, and the subsequent calculation process is executed. The calculated entry and exit times are detailed in Table 4. The STK result is used as a reference value, and the error time of exit and entry calculated by this method is 2s, and the error time of entry is 6s. Assuming that the payload is at T 0 At +27450s, the payload was turned on and determined to be in the territory. The subsequent calculation process was executed. The calculated entry and exit times are shown in Table 5. The STK result was used as a reference value. The exit error time was 1s and the entry time error was 55s when compared with the calculation method.

[0076] According to the orbital parameters of the embodiment, the average orbit is 6684s, the domestic time is 930s, and the error is 6s to 55s. The overseas duty cycle is 58.26% to 86.00. In conjunction with the satellite's autonomous energy management unit, the transit payload can be autonomously turned on and off in and out of the country. The overseas standby power consumption of 16W will no longer be consumed. This effect is significant for small low-orbit satellites with tight energy.
