Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of aerospace, and in particular relates to a method and system for modeling thermal radiation pressure of low-orbit satellites based on heat transfer mechanisms. Background Technology
[0002] After absorbing solar and terrestrial radiation, low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellites experience a rise in surface temperature and release thermal radiation. The reaction force generated by these thermal radiation photons on the satellite surface is called thermal radiation pressure, or thermal re-radiation pressure. Among all radiation pressure-related perturbations for LEO satellites, thermal radiation pressure perturbation is second only to solar radiation pressure. Researching and refining the thermal radiation pressure model for LEO satellites is not only crucial for reducing non-conservative force errors in precise mechanical models and improving satellite orbit determination and prediction accuracy, but it will also provide significant assistance in areas such as upper-level lateral wind field inversion and LEO satellite onboard accelerometer calibration.
[0003] In existing analytical modeling of thermal radiation pressure for low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellites, it is typically assumed that the satellite surface is in a state of constant thermal equilibrium, and the absorbed visible and infrared radiation energy is instantly re-radiated in the form of thermal radiation (Hackel et al., 2017). A study by Vielberg et al. (2020) on nonconservative force modeling for the GRACE satellite showed that thermal radiation pressure is the second largest radiation pressure after light pressure and cannot be ignored in the accurate modeling of nonconservative forces for LEO satellites. Wang et al. (2023), in their simplified dynamic orbit determination study of GRACE-FO, found that the static radiation pressure model based on instantaneous re-radiation cannot accurately reflect the thermal state of the satellite surface, leading to biases in the estimation of the light pressure scale factor. Wöske et al. (2018), in their onboard accelerometer calibration study, considered the influence of the satellite panel's thermal inertia and used a transient thermal radiation pressure model instead of a static thermal radiation pressure model to improve calibration accuracy. This transient thermal radiation pressure model has also been adopted by the GROOPS software to mitigate the impact of nonconservative force modeling errors in gravity field recovery studies (Mayer-Gürr et al., 2021). Siemes et al. (2023) investigated the impact of heat transfer between the panel and satellite on thermal radiation pressure modeling and found that the initial temperature error could affect thermal radiation pressure modeling for up to 6 hours under the heat transfer mechanism.
[0004] In summary, existing analytical models of thermal radiation pressure mostly use static thermal radiation pressure modeling, while transient thermal radiation models often treat the satellite panel as thermal insulator. There is relatively little research on the impact of the thermal conduction mechanism between the satellite panel and the star on the transient thermal radiation pressure model.

[0034] Existing analytical models of thermal radiation pressure mostly employ static thermal radiation pressure modeling, while transient thermal radiation models often treat the satellite panel as a thermal insulator. Research on the impact of the heat conduction mechanism between the satellite panel and the satellite body on transient thermal radiation pressure models is limited. Based on this, this invention proposes a method for modeling the thermal radiation pressure of low-Earth orbit satellites, including initial panel temperature determination and dynamic temperature updates, based on the heat transfer mechanism between the panel and the satellite body. Its overall technical approach is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the specific steps include the following:
[0035] Step 1: Determine the optical and thermodynamic parameters of the panel.
[0036] The optical and thermodynamic parameters of a low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellite panel are a set of parameters used to describe the fixed physical properties of the satellite panel, including optical parameters such as visible light absorptivity and infrared light absorptivity, and thermodynamic parameters such as specific heat capacity and thermal conductivity. Visible and infrared light absorptivity affect the panel's absorption of external radiation and release of thermal radiation power; specific heat capacity directly affects the panel's temperature change rate; and thermal conductivity affects the heat transfer power between the panel and the satellite body. When constructing a thermal radiation pressure model for a LEO satellite, the above parameters for each panel must first be determined. These parameters are usually calibrated by a ground laboratory before satellite launch.
[0037] Step 1: Calculate the panel's radiative absorption power.
[0038] The radiation absorption power of the panel directly affects the panel temperature, which in turn affects the thermal radiation power of the satellite panel and the resulting thermal radiation pressure. Radiation absorption power This can be obtained by calculating the portion of solar and terrestrial radiation energy absorbed by the panels in the multi-panel solar radiation pressure model of low-Earth orbit satellites:
[0039]
[0040] in, Power absorbed by solar radiation. Earth's radiation absorption power is divided into ground albedo absorption power. With the power absorbed by Earth's thermal radiation Two parts; At the speed of light, is the solar flux coefficient, and the product of the two is the total solar irradiance at a distance of 1 AU from the sun; This is the shaded function, with a value range of 0-1; The light pressure scale factor; This represents the distance from the sun to a low-Earth orbit satellite. and These are the absorption rates of the panel for visible light and infrared light, respectively. and These are the ground surface element albedo and thermal infrared emissivity, respectively, which can be obtained by interpolation using ocean and land radiative flux data provided by the Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System (CERES). The area of the panel that absorbs radiation. The angle between the normal to the panel and the direction from the satellite to the sun. It is the angle between the normal of the panel and the direction from the satellite to the ground element.
[0041] Step 3: Determine the initial temperature of the panel.
[0042] Considering the dynamic process of the satellite panel's temperature rising due to radiation absorption, and then changing due to the release of thermal radiation or heat exchange with the satellite, the temperature change between subsequent epochs is determined through numerical integration after the initial surface temperature is established. However, in the dynamic radiation pressure model, if the time span between two consecutive epochs is too long, the initial surface temperature of the panel needs to be re-determined. (Initial surface temperature of the panel) The determination of the panel surface generally assumes thermodynamic equilibrium, that is, the panel's radiation absorption power, thermal radiation release power and heat transfer power are in balance.
[0043] Panel heat radiation release power This can be determined using the Stefan-Boltzmann law:
[0044]
[0045] in, This represents the area of the panel; This is the infrared radiation emission coefficient of the panel, which is numerically the same as the infrared light absorption rate of the panel. The Stefan-Boltzmann constant is 5.670373. , This refers to the panel temperature.
[0046] Panel heat transfer power It is determined by the panel's thermal conductivity and the temperature difference between the panel and the satellite body:
[0047]
[0048] in, The thermal conductivity between the panel and the satellite body; For panel temperature, The initial temperature is the temperature of the satellite body, which is usually taken as the normal operating temperature of the electronic components of the low-orbit satellite, i.e., room temperature 298K.
[0049] Panel initial temperature The following equation must be satisfied:
[0050]
[0051] By rearranging the above equation, we can obtain information about The quadratic equation of :
[0052]
[0053] Solving the above quartic equation will yield the initial temperature of the panel:
[0054]
[0055]
[0056]
[0057]
[0058] Step 4: Panel temperature is dynamically updated.
[0059] The impact of thermal changes on the panel of a low-Earth orbit satellite on the rate of temperature change is related to the specific heat capacity of the panel.
[0060]
[0061] in, The specific heat capacity of the panel represents the amount of heat absorbed, released, or transferred by the panel. The degree of temperature change caused Its definition is as follows:
[0062]
[0063] Determining the initial temperature of the satellite panel Then, the panel temperature for subsequent epochs is updated using numerical integration:
[0064]
[0065] in, This represents the current epoch satellite panel surface temperature; The panel temperature of the previous epoch. This represents the temperature change between the two integral quantization intervals before and after the panel. The number of subintervals into which the numerical integral is divided. The sub-interval index; For the first The radiative absorption power of the panel in each integrator sub-interval; For the first The thermal radiation power of the panel in each integral sub-interval; For the first The heat transfer power between the integrator interval panel and the satellite body.
[0066] radiation Determined by interpolation of the panel absorption power between two consecutive epochs:
[0067]
[0068] in, The radiation absorption power of the satellite panel at the current epoch is calculated using the radiation pressure model. This represents the panel's radiation absorption power in the previous epoch.
[0069] thermal radiation power Determined by the panel surface temperature of the previous sub-interval:
[0070]
[0071] in, For the first The panel surface temperature of each sub-region; is the index of the integral subinterval.
[0072] The heat transfer power is determined by the temperature difference between the panel and the satellite body in the previous sub-section:
[0073]
[0074] in, For the first The satellite body temperature for each sub-interval was also obtained using numerical methods:
[0075]
[0076] in, The current satellite body temperature in the integral sub-interval; This represents the temperature change between the two sub-intervals. The thermal power of the satellite body in the current integral sub-interval is usually the thermal power of the electronic components provided by the low-Earth orbit satellite launcher. This represents the sum of the heat transfer power between each panel and the satellite body in the current integral sub-interval.
[0077] Step 5: Calculation of thermal radiation pressure of low-orbit satellites.
[0078] Once the temperature of the low-Earth orbit satellite panel is determined, the panel's thermal radiation power and the resulting thermal radiation pressure can be determined.
[0079]
[0080] in, The thermal radiation pressure exerted by the flat panel on the low-Earth orbit satellite is N; N is the number of panels on the low-Earth orbit satellite. For panel serial number, For the first Each panel emits heat radiation; It is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant; For the first The thermal radiation release power of each panel is calculated by combining the panel surface temperature with the Stefan-Boltzmann law. The speed of light; For the first The unit normal vector of each panel. For the first The area of each panel, For the first Infrared radiation emission coefficient of each panel For the first The surface temperature of each panel.
[0081] Given the mass of low-Earth orbit satellites In this case, the perturbation acceleration generated by thermal radiation pressure can be further determined by Newton's second law. size:
[0082]
[0083] As an example, this invention uses the GRACE-FO satellite for experimental verification. The optical and thermodynamic parameters of the GRACE-FO satellite are shown in Table 1 below:
[0084] Table 1 Optical and thermodynamic parameters of the GRACE-FO satellite
[0085] The specific heat capacity of the GRACE-FO satellite is The satellite's thermal power is set to 200W as published on the World Meteorological Organization website.
[0086] Using both the traditional static thermal radiation pressure model and this method, the panel temperatures of each panel of the GRACE-C satellite on days 090 and 180 of 2019 were obtained as follows: Figure 2 As shown in (a)-(d), compared with the traditional static thermal radiation pressure model, the panel temperature change obtained by this method is more gradual, and the influence of the satellite's frequent entry and exit from the Earth's shadow on the panel surface temperature is effectively weakened (as shown in panel 8 in the figure), making the thermal radiation pressure model more consistent with the actual situation during the satellite's on-orbit operation. The improvement effect is more obvious during the 090-day period when the solar altitude angle on the orbital plane is relatively low, and the satellite's entry and exit from the Earth's shadow is more frequent. However, during the 180-day period when the solar altitude angle on the orbital plane is relatively high, the low-orbit satellite's single-sided panel is backlit for a long time (as shown in the figure). Figure 2 (c)-(d) Panel 1), the temperature modeling of the backlight panel in the traditional model has been too low for a long time, which will cause the non-conservative force modeling error in the normal direction of the satellite orbital plane. This can be significantly improved by introducing the heat transfer mechanism from the satellite body to the backlight panel.
