Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of space-based situation awareness, and particularly relates to a situation awareness method for close-range orbiting tracking of a rocket final stage, which realizes efficient and very economical situation awareness measurement of the rocket final stage after star-rocket separation. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the vigorous development of global aerospace industry, various types of aerospace launch activities are becoming more and more frequent. In the past decade, the number of global aerospace launches has shown an increasing trend year by year, with an average of more than 100 times per year. Such high-intensity launch activities make the rocket orbital stage, if not properly disposed of, an important source of space debris. In recent years, the disintegration of the rocket's second stage (final stage) has occurred several times, and the disintegration of large final stages has generated a large amount of space debris, which has affected the orbital resources and subsequent launch tasks. These space debris run at high speed in orbit, like a "space bullet", seriously threatening the safety of on-orbit spacecraft.
[0003] Space-based situation awareness is an important field of aerospace development, and the monitoring and early warning of space debris require detection and identification of space debris. After accurate identification and tracking of space debris, ground personnel can calculate their position, velocity and orbit, and catalog these "space targets". This not only can provide early warning of collision risks, but also can lay the foundation for future debris cleanup and space resource recovery. Currently, many countries and space agencies have built specialized space target telescopes and monitoring networks through independent research and development or international cooperation, such as the European Space Agency's Space Debris Telescope SDT, the University of Bern Institute of Astronomy's Laser and Astrometry Telescope, and the U.S. space agency (NASA)'s Michigan Orbital Debris Survey Telescope MODEST. They are typical ground-based optical observation equipment for space debris monitoring, used to improve the detection and tracking capabilities of space debris. More and more aerospace companies and agencies are turning to space-based situation awareness platforms, providing timely, accurate and in-depth space safety information through autonomous and intelligent situation awareness satellites.
