Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of space disintegration event time reconstruction, and in particular relates to a space disintegration event time reconstruction method based on statistics of the intersection time between fragments and main wreckage. Background Art
[0002] With humanity's exploration and utilization of outer space, space activities have grown exponentially, leading to a significant increase in the amount of space debris, much of which is generated by spacecraft breakup events. Tracing the breakup of space debris is crucial for understanding its origin and evolution, as well as assessing its potential threat to orbiting spacecraft. The core of breakup tracing lies in reconstructing the time and location of space breakup events, as well as the physical characteristics of the breakup process, using observational data from debris clouds. Currently, research on space debris primarily focuses on debris cloud evolution modeling and orbital analysis.
[0003] For example, by combining multi-source observational data (such as radar and optical telescopes) with orbital mechanics models, high-precision orbit determination and evolution simulation of debris clouds can be achieved. Furthermore, methods based on probability density representations have been proposed to more efficiently describe the evolution of debris clouds. Simultaneously, ground-based simulation experiments are also being conducted to study the distribution characteristics of debris from satellite explosions and disintegration. These technical studies provide important theoretical foundations and methodological support for debris tracing.
[0004] Although existing technologies have made significant progress in orbit determination and evolution simulation of space debris, there are still some key shortcomings in tracing the disintegration source:
[0005] First, most existing disintegration models are based on simplified physical assumptions and cannot fully include all factors, such as satellite materials, interactions between debris, and momentum distribution at the moment of disintegration.
[0006] Secondly, although multi-source data fusion technology can improve the accuracy of orbit determination, the depth and breadth of data fusion still need to be further improved in disintegration tracing, especially in complex perturbation environments, and the adaptability and reliability of existing methods still face challenges.
[0007] Finally, existing technologies still lack research on tracing the time dimension of disintegration events, making it difficult to accurately determine the moment of disintegration, which affects subsequent research.
[0008] For example: Application number: 201711212888.5, Publication number: CN107992669A, Invention name: A method and system for determining the type of spacecraft disintegration events, a method for determining the type of spacecraft disintegration events based on a particle swarm optimization algorithm is proposed, which can efficiently distinguish and determine spacecraft explosion events and impact disintegration events, but does not reconstruct the time of the disintegration event.
[0009] The above-mentioned defects limit the accuracy and effectiveness of space debris disintegration tracing technology in practical applications, and new methods and technologies are urgently needed to break through the existing bottlenecks. Summary of the Invention
[0010] To address the technical challenges of reconstructing the moment of space disintegration in the presence of major debris and improving its accuracy, this paper proposes a method for reconstructing the moment of space disintegration based on statistics of the intersection of debris and major debris. This method is applicable to space disintegration events where major debris can be identified. By calculating the moment of closest approach between the debris and the major debris, a Gaussian kernel function is constructed for density estimation and analysis, allowing the peak value to be used to determine the moment of disintegration. The Gaussian kernel function constructed in this paper is smooth, robust, and versatile, effectively preserving marginal data and avoiding the problem of false rejection caused by data mutations.

It also performs orbit propagation based on the orbit type, taking into account perturbations such as the Earth's non-spherical gravity and atmospheric drag on low-orbit debris, as well as the superimposed three-body gravitational effect and solar and lunar gravitational perturbations on medium- and high-orbit debris, making it easy to understand and implement.
[0055] 2. Theoretically, the moment when the debris and the main debris are closest is the most correlated moment between them, i.e., the breakup moment. Therefore, for breakup events that could produce main debris, the present invention establishes coarse and fine distance models for the debris cloud and the main debris after orbital propagation.

[0109] In order to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, a specific example is now provided:
[0110] Step 1: Sequentially perform standardization processing and orbit propagation operations on the debris cloud orbit data and the main debris orbit data after the space disintegration event obtained by the space situational awareness and surveillance system.
[0111] The Centaur upper stage (Centaur Upper Stage) is a series of liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen upper stages for rockets. Since the Atlas-Centaur rocket of the 1960s, it has evolved into several models, including the Centaur I, Centaur II, Centaur IIA, and Centaur G. These models are widely used on Delta, Atlas, and Vulcan launch vehicles, as well as on the Space Shuttle. In September 2024, a US Centaur upper stage disintegrated in orbit. The disintegration was first detected by Slingshot Aerospace, a US commercial space situational awareness company, on September 16, 2024. The Russian space company JSC Vimpel subsequently conducted a systematic cataloging of the space debris generated by the incident. This cataloged debris data totaled 143 pieces, including the main debris, with orbital epochs between September 16 and 17.
[0112] The conversion model converts the orbital data of the debris cloud and the main debris from TLE to the J2000 geocentric inertial coordinate system; at the same time, the timestamps of the orbital data of the debris cloud and the main debris are converted to the modified Julian day (MJD).
[0113] The debris cloud and the main debris are medium- and high-orbit debris (orbit altitude > 8370km). Considering the three-body gravitational effect and the gravitational perturbations of the sun and the moon, the SGP4 model is used for orbital propagation.
[0114] Step 2: Based on the position coordinates of the debris cloud and the main debris after orbital propagation, a coarse distance model is constructed. The time of the closest distance between any fragment in the debris cloud and the main debris is calculated by the coarse distance model, and the first time set is obtained as follows: Figure 1 shown.
[0115] Step 3: Construct the first Gaussian kernel function of the first moment set, and estimate the first probability density estimate of the first moment set by the first Gaussian kernel function, such as Figure 2 shown.
[0116] The cumulative distribution of the first probability density estimate is constructed to estimate the cumulative distribution function, such as Figure 3 As shown. The confidence interval is constructed by combining the inverse function of the estimated cumulative distribution function with the significance level:
[0117] CI 95% =[F -1 (α / 2),F -1 (1-α / 2)], and the confidence interval is [2024-09-04 22:00:43, 2024-09-07 14:18:16];
[0118] Remove the large error fragment data outside the confidence interval; in this example, a total of 19 large error fragment data are removed, and 124 fragment track data are retained after screening.
[0119] Step 4: Based on the position coordinates of the debris cloud and the main wreckage within the confidence interval, a fine distance model is constructed. The time of the closest distance between any fragment in the debris cloud and the main wreckage within the confidence interval is calculated by the fine distance model, and the second time set is obtained as follows: Figure 4 shown.
[0120] Step 5: Construct the second Gaussian kernel function of the second moment set, and obtain the second probability density estimate of the second moment set by the second Gaussian kernel function, such as Figure 5 As shown, the closest distance moment corresponding to the maximum second probability density estimate is taken as the time of the spatial disintegration event, and the disintegration time is 2024-09-06 12:35:40 (Beijing time).
[0121] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0122] 1. The present invention sequentially performs standardization processing on the debris cloud orbital data and the main debris orbital data obtained by the space situational awareness and surveillance system after a space disintegration event, aligning the coordinate system and calibrating the timestamp to ensure the accuracy and consistency of the timestamp. It also performs orbit propagation based on the orbit type, taking into account perturbations such as the Earth's non-spherical gravity and atmospheric drag on low-orbit debris, as well as the superimposed three-body gravitational effect and solar and lunar gravitational perturbations on medium- and high-orbit debris, making it easy to understand and implement.
[0123] 2. Theoretically, the moment when the debris and the main debris are closest is the most correlated moment between them, i.e., the breakup moment. Therefore, for breakup events that could produce main debris, the present invention establishes coarse and fine distance models for the debris cloud and the main debris after orbital propagation. This coarse-fine dual-stage optimization model strategy accurately determines the moment of closest approach. The moment of spacecraft breakup is determined based on this moment of closest approach between the main debris and the debris cloud, improving temporal resolution.
[0124] 3. Constructing a Gaussian kernel function for non-parametric probability density estimation can improve computational efficiency, be applicable to large-scale fragmented clouds, and increase anti-interference capabilities. Based on the constructed coarse-fine dual-stage optimization model strategy, the constructed Gaussian kernel function is called twice, which is smooth, robust, and versatile. It can effectively retain edge data and avoid the problem of false rejection caused by data mutation.
[0125] 4. Construct a confidence interval by using the inverse function of the constructed cumulative distribution function, delete the fragmented data outside the confidence interval, and eliminate large errors or erroneous fragmented data, thereby improving robustness.
[0126] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any modifications or substitutions that can be easily conceived by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
