[0064] The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0065] To solve the problems faced by antenna satellites in the overall design, such as the difficulty in matching the payload design with the satellite platform design and the low fundamental frequency leading to satellite damage during the whole-satellite launch into orbit, the technical problems mainly solved by a rapid optimization design method for antenna satellite systems based on surrogate models disclosed in the present invention are described as follows: Analyze the mission requirements of antenna satellites, construct reasonable antenna satellite structure models, geometric occlusion models, power models, attitude control models, position-keeping models, orbit transfer models, and mass analysis models, etc. for optimization. Considering that there are high-time-consuming analysis models such as finite element analysis and long-time numerical integration in the optimization process of antenna satellites, the surrogate model approximation optimization method is combined to replace the antenna satellite for disciplinary model analysis and optimization. On the premise of meeting the various engineering constraints of the antenna satellite, while further increasing the overall fundamental frequency of the satellite, the launch mass is reduced.

[0066] An embodiment of the present application provides a rapid optimization design method for antenna satellite systems based on surrogate models, including the following steps:

[0067] Step 1: For the antenna satellite system to be optimized, sort out the disciplines involved in its design and the coupling relationships between the disciplines;

[0068] Sort out the key disciplines involved in the antenna satellite design, and use the structural design matrix to sort out the parameter relationships between the disciplines. For example, Figure 1 analyze the antenna satellite model in and the normal working condition of the satellite. Since the area of the antenna payload is large after deployment, it will affect the power supply of the solar panels. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the occlusion relationship between the payload and the solar panels after the antenna satellite payload is deployed, and consider the influence of the solar panel area on the power supply and distribution of the antenna satellite. In addition, when considering the normal operation of the antenna satellite, due to the large surface mass, the influence of the solar space environment disturbance torque is aggravated. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out research on the attitude control and on-orbit position-keeping of the antenna satellite to quantitatively analyze the influence of the space environment on the attitude and orbit of the satellite; considering the integrity of the antenna satellite launch mission, it is necessary to carry out an orbit transfer analysis model to realize the mission of the satellite maneuvering from the transfer orbit to the geostationary orbit after "separation of the satellite and the rocket". And the mass distribution is the top priority of the satellite design. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out the mass estimation and distribution summary analysis of each subsystem. Finally, the structural design is the core of the antenna satellite design. It needs to take into account both the payload design and the platform design, which is the key to improving the comprehensive performance of the antenna satellite.

[0069] After the above task analysis, the antenna satellite design involves disciplines such as geometric occlusion, power supply and distribution, attitude control, structure, position-keeping, orbit transfer, and mass. Use the design structure matrix to sort out its coupling relationship, as Figure 2 shown.

[0070] Step 2: Based on the coupling relationship, construct the analysis models corresponding to each discipline respectively;

[0071] Step 201: Geometric occlusion model construction. Based on Figure 1 the antenna-satellite model, draw the basic configuration to analyze the occlusion of the satellite solar panel by the antenna payload, as Figure 3 shown.

[0072] Construct a satellite body coordinate system at the centroid of the satellite body. Take the centroid of the satellite platform as the origin, the direction parallel to the long side of the solar panel as the Y B axis, the direction parallel to the surface of the satellite platform and perpendicular to Y B as the X B axis, the direction along the forward direction of the satellite is positive, and the normal direction of the satellite platform surface is the Z B axis, with the direction pointing to the payload being positive. Consider the design parameters of the satellite platform: the length of the satellite body is l1, the width is w1; the length of the solar panel is L s , the width is W s ; the radius of the payload is R, the height from the surface of the satellite body is h; the angle between the solar panel and the Y B OX B plane is β; consider the sunlight as a parallel vector and use the unit vector e = [l, m, n] T to represent, where l, m, and n are the components in the satellite body coordinate system, M (the three-dimensional space coordinates are [a, b, c] T ), P (the three-dimensional space coordinates are [x, y, z] T ) represent any point on the payload and the solar panel respectively. When the formula (1) is satisfied, it can be explained that the solar panel is occluded by the payload. According to the number of intersection points N BI of the shadow and the boundary of the solar panel, it is divided into five categories for discussion, as Figure 4 shown. Then, further classify and analyze according to the relationship between the projection of the geometric center of the payload and the distances d i (i = 1, 2, 3, 4) of the four boundaries of the solar wing array and the radius R of the payload, so as to obtain the occluded area S shading of the solar panel.

[0073]

[0074] Case ①: N BI = 0, which can be divided into min(d i ) > R, that is, the solar wing is not occluded by the payload at all, S sunward = L S W S , S shading = 0; or max(d i ) < R, that is, the solar wing is completely occluded by the payload, S sunward = 0, S shading = L S W S。Case ②: N BI = 2. According to d i < the number N of R d it can be divided into four categories, as Figure 5 shown;

[0075]

[0076] Among them, B i (x i , y i ), i = 1, 2, 3, 4 represent the four boundary points of the single-sided solar wing; C p (x p c , y p c ) are respectively the projection points of the load geometric center on the surface of the solar wing; A B and B B represent the intersection points of the load projection and the boundary of the solar wing. Case ③: N BI = 4. According to the number of N d it can be divided into three categories, as Figure 6 shown. Taking N d = 2 as an example for analysis and integral calculation;

[0077] When N d = 0,

[0078] When N d = 1,

[0079] When N d = 2,

[0080] (3) Among them, A B , B B (x b , y b ), C B (x c , y c ) and D B represent the intersection points of the load projection and the boundary of the solar wing.

[0081] Case ④: N BI = 6. There is only one category of situation where N d = 1, as Figure 7 shown. Integral analysis and calculation are adopted;

[0082]

[0083] Among them, A B , B B (x b , yb ), C B (x c , y c ), D B , E B and F B (x f , y f ) represent the intersection points of the load projection and the boundary of the solar panel wing.

[0084] Case ⑤: N BI = 8, there is only one type of case where N d = 0, as shown in Figure 8 , and integral analysis and calculation are adopted;

[0085]

[0086] Among them, A B , B B (x b , y b ), C B (x c , y c ), D B , D B , E B , F B (x f , y f ) and G B (x g , y g ) represent the intersection points of the load projection and the boundary of the solar panel wing.

[0087] The above is the occlusion analysis of one-sided solar panels. For the occlusion analysis of the other side, only the solar light vector e = [l, m, n] T needs to be corrected to e = [l, -m, n] T .

[0088] The unoccluded solar panel area S is obtained through Equation (6) sunward .

[0089] S sunward = 2L S W S - S shading (6)

[0090] Step 202: Modeling of the power supply and distribution model. Based on the geometric occlusion analysis model, obtain the occluded solar panel area S shading and the unoccluded solar panel area S sunward, obtain the power supply of the solar panels according to the empirical formula, and consider the interference of the space environment resulting in the decline of the output power of the solar array, and obtain the output power at the end of the life of the solar array to ensure that the power supply and distribution discipline can effectively meet the power supply requirements during the on-orbit operation of the satellite as shown in Equation (7).

[0091]

[0092] Among them, S0 is the solar constant, X is the correction factor for the oblique incidence of sunlight on the solar array, X s is the seasonal change factor of sunlight, X e is the gain factor of the output power of the solar array due to the reflection of the earth, X0 is other correction factors; ε is the light transmission coefficient when the payload is blocked, η s is the photoelectric conversion efficiency of a single solar cell, F c is the combined loss factor of the solar array; β p is the power temperature coefficient of the solar array (unit: % / °C), ΔT is the difference between the orbital operating temperature of the solar cell and the standard temperature (°C), χ is the angle between the sunlight and the normal direction of the solar array; L t year is the on-orbit operating life of the satellite, d y is the annual average power decline of the solar wing during on-orbit operation. P BOL is the power at the initial stage of the life of the solar array, P EOL is the power at the end of the life of the solar array.

[0093] The mass of the solar array is obtained by multiplying the area of the solar wing by the material density, as shown in (8), where ρ solar (unit: kg / m 2 ) is the average density of the solar wing.

[0094] M solar = ρ solar ×(S sunward + S shading ) (8)

[0095] Among them, M solar is the mass of the solar array.

[0096] The depth of discharge DOD of the battery is defined as the ratio of the discharge capacity C of the battery to its nominal capacity C s . The power demand of the whole satellite during the shadow period is P e . Considering that the general battery pack uses the north-south battery pack power supply method, the discharge power P bat of a single battery pack is P e / 2. The calculation formula for the depth of discharge of the battery is as follows:

[0097]

[0098] Among them, T e is the time of the geostationary orbit shadow period, and V bat is the average discharge voltage of the battery pack.

[0099] On this basis, the calculation formula for the mass of a single battery pack is obtained.

[0100] M battery = C s ·V bat / γ b (10)

[0101] Among them, γ b is the specific energy of the battery.

[0102] Step 203: In the attitude control discipline, construct the models of the gravity gradient torque and the solar radiation pressure torque acting on the antenna satellite during on-orbit operation. During the overall design phase, it is necessary to ensure that the momentum wheel unloading torque is greater than or equal to the accumulated solar radiation pressure torque within the unloading period. The constructed gravity gradient torque model is shown in Equation (11), where I xx , I yy , I zz , I xy , I xz , and I yz respectively represent the principal axis moment of inertia and the product of inertia in the working state of the antenna satellite; r x , r y , and r z respectively represent the vector components from the earth's center to the satellite's center of mass.

[0103]

[0104] The constructed solar radiation pressure torque is shown in Equation (13):

[0105]

[0106] Among them, l p is the vector from the satellite's center of mass to the center of pressure, α is the solar absorption coefficient of the satellite component surface, c rd is the solar diffuse reflection coefficient of the satellite component surface, c rs is the solar specular reflection coefficient of the satellite component surface, p is the average pressure of solar radiation pressure, d A is the area of the satellite irradiated by incident light / projected, τ A and n A are the unit vectors in the solar direction and the normal vector of the satellite surface, θ is the incident angle of sunlight, and H(·) is the Heaviside function, and the specific representation is shown in Equation (14).

[0107]

[0108] During the unloading period, the angular momentum to be unloaded by the antenna satellite momentum wheel is as shown in Equation (15), which can be obtained by integrating the solar radiation pressure moment and the gravity gradient moment. Among them, η is the design redundancy of the momentum wheel unloading. The attitude control discipline adopts a redundant assembly scheme of four momentum wheels with three positive and one oblique, as Figure 9 shown. Therefore, during one unloading period, the momentum wheel unloading margin is as shown in Equation (16), and the momentum wheel mass is determined by Equation (17).

[0109]

[0110] C A C = Hw - max(Hwx, Hwy, Hwz) (16)

[0111] M control = 4×(5.8 + 17(H w - 6) / 90) + 90.4 (17)

[0112] Among them, M control is the momentum wheel mass.

[0113] Step 204: In the structural discipline, use the Patran three-dimensional finite element modeling and analysis software to construct the model of the antenna satellite in the stowed state as Figure 10 shown. The satellite platform uses a cylindrical barrel with a diameter of 1000 mm as the main load-bearing structure. The platform also includes a top plate, a bottom plate, a docking ring, four partition plates, the surrounding plate surfaces, and four storage tanks. In addition, the antenna load part consists of a cylindrical barrel with a diameter of 1000 mm and 10 hinges with a simplified diameter of 40 mm; the connection part is composed of a conical composite connection ring. This finite element model contains a total of 8562 elements and 10908 nodes, and its design parameters and constraint conditions are sorted out in Table 1.

[0114] Table 1 Design variables and constraint conditions of the structural discipline

[0115]

[0116] Step 205: In the position-keeping discipline, to ensure that the on-orbit working position accuracy of the antenna satellite meets the requirements, four electric thrusters are symmetrically arranged and installed on the surface of the satellite platform, as Figure 11 shown. To eliminate the interference torque in the space environment, the thruster ignition scheme is as follows: Thrusters 1–4–2–3 work sequentially in each thrust unloading period, and the working longitudes of thrusters 1 and 2, and thrusters 3 and 4 are the same, and the former and the latter have a working phase difference of 180°. The representations of the electric thrusters in the satellite body coordinate system are (-d T , d N , h c ), (d T , d N , hc ), (-d T , -d N , h c ) and (d T , -d N , h c ), so the thrust coefficients of the four-point thruster vectors are expressed as shown in Equation (18).

[0117]

[0118] The dynamic linear characterization of the electric thruster position-keeping maneuver can be described as shown in Equation (19). Among them, the orbital drift rate D is the angular rate of the GEO satellite relative to the standard geostationary orbit, λ represents the mean longitude of the working position of the electric thruster, e x and e y respectively represent the orbital eccentricity vector components, i x and i y respectively represent the orbital inclination vector components, ΔV R 、ΔV T 、ΔV N are the orbital radial, tangential, and normal velocity increments respectively, V s is the geostationary orbit velocity, and l represents the mean longitude of the working position of the electric thruster engine.

[0119]

[0120] Combining Equation (18) and Equation (19), the small-thrust geostationary orbit position-keeping control strategy is as shown in (20), where ΔV = [ΔV1 ΔV2 ΔV3 ΔV4] T respectively represent the velocity increments of the four electric thrusters, and K is the control matrix. According to the right ascension of the ascending node of the thruster startup and the installation layout parameters, the control matrix K can be obtained. In addition, according to the perturbation equation, the orbital element change vector Y in each small control period can be calculated. Therefore, the thruster velocity increment in each small control period is as shown in (21). According to the Tsiolkovsky formula, the propellant consumption and the velocity increment are as shown in Equation (22). Among them, m1 is the initial in-orbit mass of the satellite; I e sp is the specific impulse of the electric propellant; η p is the thruster efficiency; F e p is the thrust magnitude of the electric thruster; Δt is the working duration of the thruster.

[0121]

[0122] ΔV = K -1 Y (21)

[0123]

[0124] Wherein, M ep is the fuel mass consumed by the electric thruster for on-orbit position keeping, and Δv e is the velocity increment of the electric thruster.

[0125] Step 206: For the orbit transfer discipline, considering the characteristics of the large satellite mass and the more mature and stable chemical propulsion technology, the problem of the transfer of the chemical propulsion orbit transfer strategy from the GTO orbit to the GEO orbit is carried out. The ground station monitoring and observation constraints during the engine ignition operation are not considered temporarily, and only the engine continuous operation propulsion time constraint is considered. The orbit transfer process is divided into N ∈ [3, 8] stages. Considering the maximum single-thrust propulsion duration constraint of the engine, one or more parking orbits in the orbit transfer process are selected in sequence. Since the pulse required to change the inclination at the apogee is the smallest, and the GTO intersects and is inscribed with the GEO at the apogee, the satellite can effectively complete the orbit transfer by applying an apogee pulse. In this study, since the propulsion working duration constraint of the chemical propulsion will limit the pulse size, the ideal single apogee pulse needs to be divided into multiple apogee pulses. Therefore, several intermediate parking orbits need to be selected, and its orbit transfer process is as Figure 12 shown, where the single orbit maneuver is as Figure 13 shown.

[0126] Calculate the maximum pulse capability that can be provided currently as shown in Equation (23), and the fuel consumption of the entire orbit transfer and the satellite mass after orbit transfer are as shown in Equation (24). Among them, m0 represents the satellite mass before the orbit transfer; M cp represents the fuel consumption of the chemical propellant for the orbit transfer.

[0127] ΔV max = gI c sp [lnm0 - ln(m0 - F c t max / gI c sp )] (23)

[0128] M cp = m0[1 - exp(-||Δv c || / gI c sp )] (24)

[0129] Wherein, ΔV max is the maximum velocity increment that the chemical engine can provide for the satellite when the initial launch mass is m0 under the action of the maximum working duration t max ; I c sp is the specific impulse of the chemical propellant; Δv c is the velocity increment generated by the chemical thruster; M cpThe fuel mass required for a chemical thruster to transfer a satellite from a GTO large elliptical orbit to a GEO orbit.

[0130] Step 207: In the mass analysis discipline, the total mass of the satellite system consists of seven parts: the mass of the solar panels, the mass of the battery, the mass of the momentum wheel, the dry mass of the structure, the mass of the chemical propellant, the mass of the electric propulsion working fluid, and other masses. Among them, the mass of the solar panels and the battery are directly obtained from the power supply and distribution discipline model; the mass of the momentum wheel is directly obtained from the attitude control discipline model; the dry weight of the structure is obtained by finite element analysis of the structure discipline; the mass of the chemical propellant is obtained according to the orbit discipline. Considering the stability of the engine operation, the mass of the chemical propulsion fuel is increased by 10% as the final orbital transfer propellant carrying amount; for the other given masses, the mass composition of the final antenna satellite is shown in Equation (21).

[0131] M total = M solar + M battery + M control + M ep + M cp + M structure + M other (25)

[0132] Among them, M solar is the mass of the solar array, M battery is the mass of a single set of batteries, M control is the mass of the momentum wheel, M ep is the fuel mass consumed by the electric thruster for on-orbit position keeping, M cp represents the fuel consumption of the chemical propulsion for orbit transfer, M structure is the thickness of the satellite platform, M other is the set mass of other systems; in this embodiment, M other = 300 kg can be taken.

[0133] Step three: Construct an antenna satellite optimization problem model, with the minimum overall mass of the antenna satellite as the objective, the key parameters of each key discipline as optimization variables, and satisfying the constraints such as the initial and final on-orbit working power of the antenna satellite, the depth of discharge of the storage battery, the fundamental frequency of the whole satellite, and the on-orbit working position keeping accuracy.

The specific implementation steps are as follows, and its optimization process is as Figure 14 shown.

Take the optimized design scheme as the current pseudo-optimal solution, and calculate The true model response value and add it to the sample database.
