AI Technical Summary
In the existing technology, the thrust noise prediction accuracy of micro-Newton level propulsion thrusters is insufficient, and there is a lack of systematic suppression methods, resulting in insufficient accuracy of trajectory and attitude control.
A thrust output model and a valve opening control model are established. Through dynamic coupling simulation and fast Fourier transform, the model parameters are optimized to suppress noise, including the nozzle valve opening being controlled by the deformation of the piezoelectric element, taking into account temperature creep, drive circuit noise and measurement noise.
Significantly reduces thrust noise amplitude and improves the orbit and attitude control accuracy of the cold gas microNewton propulsion system in deep space missions.
