Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of space exploration technology. Specifically, it relates to a method and system for calculating the pointing of a laser link in the attitude adjustment of a GEO satellite, especially a method and system for calculating the pointing of a two-dimensional turntable of a laser link applicable to the attitude turning maneuver scenario of a GEO satellite. Background Technique

[0002] China is vigorously developing a high-orbit satellite remote sensing constellation. How to achieve fast transmission of image-level large data volume between satellites is a current challenge. At present, the laser link is the means with the highest communication rate in space applications. However, the beam divergence angle of the laser link is more than two orders of magnitude smaller than the beam angle of the inter-satellite link in the microwave system. Therefore, in the scenarios of the attitude movement of the local satellite during link establishment and the slow movement of the orbits of the two satellites during link establishment, how to ensure the accurate and stable pointing of the two-dimensional turntable of the laser link poses high requirements for engineering implementation.

[0003] After investigation, the relevant thesis and patent documents are as follows, but none of them involve the calculation of the pointing of the two-dimensional turntable of the laser link in the attitude turning maneuver scenario of a GEO satellite.

[0004] The thesis "Analysis and Compensation Control of the Optical Axis Pointing Error Sources of Inter-Satellite Laser Communication Machines" (Liu Zhenglin, Wang Yiqun, etc. Analysis and Compensation Control of the Optical Axis Pointing Error Sources of Inter-Satellite Laser Communication Machines [J]. Journal of Astronautics, 2023, 44(3): 455-464.) proposed a compensation scheme based on an error correction matrix for the optical axis pointing deviation caused by the installation errors of each optical element in the rear optical path of the inter-satellite laser communication machine, significantly reducing the influence of installation errors on the optical axis pointing accuracy. The biggest difference from the present invention is that it did not carry out research on the coupling between the laser mid-section pointing and the satellite attitude in the scenario of the attitude yaw turning maneuver of a GEO satellite.

[0005] The thesis "Research on Error Separation in the Calibration of the Pointing Error of a Laser Inter-Satellite Link Terminal" (Cheng Jingshuang, Lin Yiming, He Shanbao, Wang Haihong, etc. Research on Error Separation in the Calibration of the Pointing Error of a Laser Inter-Satellite Link Terminal [J]. Journal of Astronautics, 2019, 40(1): 85-93.) proposed a method for separating the spacecraft attitude measurement errors based on multi-link measurement for the problem that the spacecraft attitude measurement errors affect the calibration results in the on-orbit calibration of the pointing error of the laser inter-satellite link terminal. The biggest difference from the present invention is that it did not carry out research on the coupling between the laser mid-section pointing and the satellite attitude in the scenario of the attitude yaw turning maneuver of a GEO satellite.

[0006] The paper "Influence of On-Orbit Maneuver of Spaceborne Laser Communication Terminal on Temperature" (Liu Shaoran, Li Yifan, Zhang Wenrui, Tao Jiasheng, etc. Influence of On-Orbit Maneuver of Spaceborne Laser Communication Terminal on Temperature [J]. Journal of Astronautics, 2018, 39(11): 85-93.) carried out simulations on the transient temperature changes of the laser communication terminal in orbit, aiming to study the influence of on-orbit maneuvers, simplify the simulation of maneuver modes in thermal analysis and thermal tests, and focus on the analysis of the temperature field. The biggest difference from the present invention is that it did not carry out research on the coupling between the laser mid-section pointing and the satellite attitude in the scenario of the GEO satellite attitude yaw turn maneuver.

[0007] The patent "Method for Establishing Laser Link between Low-Earth Orbit Satellite and Ground Station" (Patent No.: ZL200610009891.2) solves the problem that the existing ground terminal and on-board terminal both need to perform scanning when establishing a laser link, resulting in a long capture time, and it is not the application scenario of high-orbit GEO inter-satellite link establishment proposed by the present invention.

[0008] The patent "Static Output Feedback PI Beam Stabilization Control Method for High-Orbit Satellite-Satellite Laser Link" (Patent No.: ZL201510962797.8) solves the problem of complex parameter selection of the PI controller in the existing tracking system of communication laser beams, focusing on the tuning of controller parameters, and it is not the application scenario of high-orbit GEO inter-satellite link establishment proposed by the present invention.

[0009] The patent "A Simplified Test Verification System Suitable for Laser-Microwave Hybrid Link Switching" (Patent No.: ZL201710537680.4) is mainly used for the simplified test verification of laser-microwave hybrid link switching, and it is not the application scenario of high-orbit GEO inter-satellite laser link establishment proposed by the present invention.

[0110] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments. The following embodiments will help those skilled in the art further understand the present invention, but do not limit the present invention in any form. It should be noted that those of ordinary skill in the art can make several changes and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention. These all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0111] The present invention provides a laser link two-dimensional turntable pointing calculation method applicable to the GEO satellite attitude turning maneuver scenario, which relates to the field of spacecraft dynamics and control. It includes the laser link two-dimensional turntable coordinate system definition method; the laser link pointing vector calculation method in the satellite body coordinate system; the laser link pointing vector calculation method in the turntable reference coordinate system; the conversion matrix calculation method from the turntable reference system to the satellite body system; the laser link two-dimensional turntable azimuth and pitch angle calculation method; the bilateral laser link target star fast switching method linked with the satellite attitude; and the laser link two-dimensional turntable pointing simulation method in the GEO satellite attitude turning maneuver scenario.

[0112] Reference Figure 1 As shown, a method for calculating the pointing of a two-dimensional turntable of a laser link applicable to the attitude turning maneuver scenario of a GEO satellite includes:

[0113] Step 1: Method for defining the coordinate system of the two-dimensional turntable of the laser link;

[0114] Reference Figure 2 As shown, ① Define the reference coordinate system O jz X jz Y jz Z jz :

[0115] The origin O jz : Located at the centroid position of the two-dimensional turntable of the laser;

[0116] O jz Z jz axis: Perpendicular to the installation surface of the two-dimensional turntable of the laser and upward;

[0117] O jz Y jz axis: Along the azimuth axis direction of the two-dimensional turntable of the laser;

[0118] O jz X jz axis: Satisfies the right-hand rule and is obtained by cross-multiplying the O jz Z jz axis and the O jz Y jz axis.

[0119] This coordinate system is fixed relative to the satellite body.

[0120] ② Define the coordinate system O sd X sd Y sd Z sd :

[0121] The origin O sd : Located at the intersection of the azimuth axis and the pitch axis of the two-dimensional turntable of the laser;

[0122] O sd X sd axis: Along the optical axis direction of the laser optical lens;

[0123] O sd Z sd axis: Along the pitch axis direction of the two-dimensional turntable of the laser;

[0124] O sd Y sd axis: Satisfies the right-hand rule and is obtained by cross-multiplying the O sd Z sd axis and the O sd Xsd Obtained by the cross product of the axes.

[0125] This coordinate system moves as the two-dimensional turntable rotates and is a follow-up coordinate system.

[0126] When the two azimuth angles and pitch angles of the two-dimensional turntable are both zero, the corresponding coordinate axes of the above two coordinate systems are parallel to each other.

[0127] Step 2: Method for calculating the laser link pointing vector in the satellite body coordinate system;

[0128] Let the laser link pointing vector between satellite G and the target satellite be L, which is expressed as L in the inertial system i , and can be obtained from the orbits of the two satellites for establishing the link. Let the position of the local satellite in the inertial system be r local , and the position of the target satellite in the inertial system be r tar , then we can get:

[0129]

[0130] Let the laser link pointing vector be expressed as L in the orbit coordinate system o , denoted as L o = [L ox L oy L oz T , then we can get:

[0131] L o = A oi L i

[0132] where A oi is the transformation matrix of the local satellite orbit coordinate system relative to the inertial system.

[0133] Let the laser link pointing vector in the satellite body coordinate system be L b , denoted as L b = [L bx L by L bz T , then we can get:

[0134] L b = A bo L o

[0135] where A bo is the transformation matrix of the local satellite body coordinate system relative to the orbit coordinate system.

[0136] Step 3: Method for calculating the laser link pointing vector in the turntable reference coordinate system;

[0137] Let the pointing vector of the laser link in the pitch servo coordinate system be L sd , since this vector servo-tracks the target star, we have:

[0138] L sd = [1 0 0] T

[0139] Let the rotation angle of the two-dimensional turntable around the pitch axis be α and the rotation angle around the azimuth axis be β. Then, the pointing vector L in the turntable reference coordinate system can be obtained as: jz :

[0140] L jz = R y (-β)R z (-α)L sd

[0141] where R z is the rotation matrix about the Z axis, and R y is the rotation matrix about the Y axis.

[0142] Step 4: Calculation method of the transformation matrix from the turntable reference system to the satellite body system;

[0143] As shown in the installation layout of the two optical heads Figure 3 shown, it can be known that:

[0144] From the laser head I reference coordinate system to the satellite body system: rotate -150° about the Z axis and then 180° about the X axis, that is:

[0145]

[0146] From the laser head II reference coordinate system to the satellite body system: rotate 60° about the Z axis and then 180° about the X axis, that is:

[0147]

[0148] Step 5: Calculation method of the azimuth angle and pitch angle of the laser link two-dimensional turntable;

[0149] In the satellite body system, the laser pointing vector can be expressed as

[0150] L b = A bo L o = A bjz L jz = A bjz R y (-β)R z (-α)L sd

[0151] Simplifying the intermediate variables, we can get

[0152] Abo L o = A bjz R y (-β)R z (-α)L sd

[0153] Expanding gives

[0154]

[0155] According to the above equation, the two rotation angles α and β of the two-dimensional turntable can be obtained by solving the equation.

[0156] For laser head I and laser head II, A bjz are both skew-symmetric matrices. Without loss of generality, let them be

[0157]

[0158] Substituting gives

[0159]

[0160] Simplifying gives

[0161]

[0162] Since β ∈ [0, π), so solving according to the above equation gives

[0163]

[0164] Step 6: A fast target star switching method for bilateral laser link establishment linked to satellite attitude;

[0165] According to the layout of the satellite attitude and the two-dimensional turntable of the laser link, taking the layout of Figure 3 as an example, during the yaw attitude maneuver of the satellite, when the azimuth axis of the two-dimensional turntable of the laser link is perpendicular to the satellite orbit plane, drive the two-dimensional turntable to quickly maneuver around the azimuth axis to achieve the east-west switching of the link establishment target star on the GEO orbit. The maneuvering angle of the azimuth axis can be calculated from the fixed-point longitudes of the link establishment target star and the link establishment home star.

[0166] Step 7: A simulation method for the pointing of the two-dimensional turntable of the laser link in the scenario of the attitude turning maneuver of the GEO satellite.

[0167] Set the time series and simulation step size, and gradually calculate the satellite attitude and the orbit of the link establishment target star at each moment. Calculate the pointing of the two-dimensional turntable of the laser link according to the aforementioned steps 2 - 5, and combine the target star switching method in step 6 to obtain the calculation results of the azimuth angle and elevation angle over the entire time series. Taking the laser head II of Figure 3 as an example, the variation laws of the azimuth angle and elevation angle of the two-dimensional turntable of the laser link within one day are asFigure 4 as shown
