[0002] Currently, to meet the mission requirements of deep space exploration, space electric propulsion technologies, represented by Hall thrusters, which offer long lifespan and high specific impulse, are developing rapidly. Hall thrusters are a type of space electric propulsion technology that uses orthogonal electromagnetic fields to ionize the working gas and generate thrust. They offer advantages such as long lifespan, simple and adjustable design, and precisely adjustable thrust, and have played a crucial role in space missions such as satellite orbit maintenance and main propulsion for deep space exploration. During the thruster's on-orbit operation, its plasma plume parameters (such as ion energy distribution and plume divergence angle) directly reflect the thruster's operating status, performance efficiency, and potential contamination effects on the spacecraft platform. Therefore, real-time and accurate plume diagnosis is essential. However, the accuracy of existing on-orbit diagnostic data for real-time plume diagnosis is relatively low. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation
[0018] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0019] The terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, used in the embodiments of this application, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, system, product, or device that includes a series of steps or units is not limited to the steps or units listed, but may optionally include other steps or units not listed, or may optionally include other steps or units inherent to these processes, methods, products, or devices.
[0020] Currently, existing multi-probe on-orbit diagnostic systems include: the Heinrich Hertz mission-EPDP, the Express-A#2 & 3 mission-DRTs, the Deep Space mission, and the Stentor mission. Among them, the EPDP is primarily used to study the interaction between electric thruster backflow and the spacecraft surface. The satellite is equipped with a pair of HEMPT 3050 thrusters and a pair of SPT 100 Hall thrusters as redundancy. For the EPDP probe package used for thruster diagnostics, the main probe package contains a planar Langmuir probe and a hindrance potential analyzer, fixed to the spacecraft. An erosion sensor is also fixed separately to the spacecraft.
[0021] However, current integrated electric propulsion systems either carry a limited variety of probes or have low integration, resulting in highly dispersed and bulky probes. Furthermore, they are limited to single missions, leading to poor economic efficiency, and are generally fixed to the spacecraft surface with limited measurement points. Moreover, in existing technologies, low-integration probe systems occupy significant space within the spacecraft, reducing economic efficiency, and poorly designed multi-probe systems can increase system complexity, thereby decreasing reliability. Therefore, the accuracy of existing on-orbit diagnostic data for real-time plume monitoring is relatively low.
[0022] Based on this, the present application provides an integrated electric propulsion plasma plume on-orbit diagnostic data processing method and system, which can solve the technical problem of low accuracy of existing on-orbit diagnostic data of plasma plumes for real-time diagnosis.
[0023] The embodiments of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0024] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating an integrated electric propulsion plasma plume on-orbit diagnostic data processing method provided in an embodiment of this application. The method is applied to an integrated electric propulsion plasma plume on-orbit diagnostic system, such as... Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the integrated electric propulsion plasma plume on-orbit diagnostic system includes a probe module 1, a probe frame 2, a circuit module 3, a mechanical interface module 4, and a signal transmission cable 5. The probe module 1 is threadedly fixed to the probe frame 2, and the probe frame 2 is threadedly fixed to the mechanical interface module 4. The circuit module 3 is located inside the spacecraft and is electrically connected to the probe module 1 via the signal transmission cable 5. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes: Step S110: Obtain probe measurement data of the thruster through various types of probes in the probe module.
[0025] In one possible implementation, probe module 1 is a detachable probe module. The probe module contains various types of probes, including an erosion sensor, a hindrance potential analyzer, a planar Langmuir probe, a Faraday probe, and a spherical Langmuir probe. The planar Langmuir probe includes a first collecting electrode, an insulating ceramic, a first guard electrode, and a first upper and lower electrical connection assembly. The first collecting electrode and the first guard electrode are simultaneously applied with a scanning voltage of -20 to 80 V. The spherical Langmuir probe includes a second collecting electrode, an insulating assembly, a second guard electrode, a second upper and lower electrical connection assembly, an insulating connection, and a base. The second collecting electrode and the second guard electrode are simultaneously applied with a scanning voltage of -20 to 80 V. The hindrance potential analyzer includes an inlet grid, a shielding grid, a scanning grid, a collecting electrode, a positioning shaft, a positioning ring, a bias copper sheet, front and rear covers, and a wire clamp. The wire clamp is used to fix the wires. The body of the erosion sensor includes a chromium oxide ceramic substrate and a corresponding silver plating layer on its surface. The aforementioned various types of probes are different types and / or different sizes of probes selected according to different measurement tasks. The acquisition of thruster probe measurement data through the various types of probes in the probe module may specifically include the following steps: The plasma parameters of the thruster's beam region are obtained by using a planar Langmuir probe. The plasma parameters of the beam region include at least one of the thruster's beam region plasma density, electron temperature, and space potential. The plasma parameters of the thruster's recirculation region are obtained using a spherical Langmuir probe. These parameters include at least one of the following: thruster recirculation region plasma density, electron temperature, and space potential. The thruster beam current and plume divergence half-angle were obtained using a Faraday probe; the ion energy distribution function in the thruster beam region was obtained using a hysteresis potential analyzer; and the erosion rate of the thruster on the spacecraft surface caused by the sputtering of film surface material under ion bombardment was diagnosed by measuring the change in film resistance using an erosion sensor.
[0026] For example, such as Figure 5The detachable probe modules shown all use aluminum alloy bases measuring 45 mm * 45 mm * 5 mm, which are fixed to the grooves of the probe frame via M4 threads. The electrodes of the detachable probe modules (erosion sensor, hindrance potential analyzer, planar Langmuir probe, Faraday probe, and spherical Langmuir probe) are all fabricated using magnetron sputtering technology to form a 1 μm titanium nitride coating on the surface of titanium alloy. This is because titanium alloy has advantages such as high conductivity, weak magnetism, high structural strength, and light weight. Compared to titanium alloy, titanium nitride coating has higher corrosion resistance, sputtering resistance, and a more uniform surface work function, hence this process is adopted. The planar Langmuir probe consists of a collector electrode, insulating ceramic, a guard electrode, and upper and lower electrical connection components. The collector electrode has a diameter of 4 mm, and it and the guard electrode are simultaneously subjected to a scanning voltage of -20 to 80 V (4 s). The guard ring is used to ensure the flatness of the sheath. This probe is used to acquire plasma parameters such as plasma density, electron temperature, and space potential in the thruster beam region. The spherical Langmuir probe consists of a collector electrode, insulating components, a guard electrode, upper and lower electrical connection components, insulating connections, and a base. The collector electrode has a diameter of 50 mm and is simultaneously subjected to a scanning voltage of -20 to 80 V (4 s) along with the guard electrode. The guard electrode is used to ensure the flatness of the sheath, and its insulation is made of PEEK. This probe is used to obtain plasma parameters such as plasma density, electron temperature, and space potential in the thruster's backflow region. The Faraday probe adopts the exact same structure as the planar Langmuir probe and can serve as a backup for each other. The collector electrode and guard electrode are simultaneously subjected to a voltage of -30 V. This probe is used to obtain the thruster beam current value, plume divergence half-angle, etc. The hysteresis potential analyzer includes an inlet grid, shielding grid, scanning grid, collector electrode, positioning shaft, positioning ring, bias copper sheet, front and rear covers, and wire clamps. The wire clamps are used to fix the wires to prevent them from breaking due to vibration and impact. This probe is used to obtain the ion energy distribution function in the thruster beam region. The erosion sensor consists of a chromium oxide ceramic substrate and a silver plating layer on its surface, with plating dimensions of 10 mm × 0.1 mm × 0.002 mm. This probe diagnoses the erosion rate of the spacecraft surface caused by electric propulsion backflow by measuring the change in thin film resistance caused by sputtering of the film surface material under high-energy ion bombardment. It should be noted that the dimensions of the various detachable probe modules provided in this embodiment can be modified according to different missions to meet the needs of Hall thruster plume plasma diagnostics. Figure 4 Five detachable probe modules are shown as examples only.
[0027] In one alternative embodiment, the probe frame is manufactured using aluminum alloy 3D printing to provide electromagnetic interference resistance. Reinforcing ribs are provided on the four sides and bottom of the probe frame to improve rigidity, strength, and stability, preventing deformation under high-intensity shocks during satellite launch. A groove is provided in the center of the bottom surface of the probe frame for fixing a standard electrical connector, enabling electrical connection between the probe module and the signal transmission cable, which is a standard aerospace information transmission bus. Grooves for fixing the probe module are provided on the five sides of the probe frame, excluding the bottom surface. An erosion sensor, a hindrance potential analyzer, a planar Langmuir probe, and a Faraday probe are fixed around the probe frame, while a spherical Langmuir probe is fixed to the top of the probe frame.
[0028] For example, such as Figure 6 The probe frame shown is entirely made of 3D-printed aluminum alloy, possessing excellent anti-electromagnetic interference capabilities to ensure the accuracy and reliability of signals within the probe system. Reinforcing ribs are designed on the four sides and bottom of the probe frame to improve rigidity and strength, enhance stability, and prevent deformation under the high-intensity shocks and impacts during satellite launch. A groove for an electrical connector is designed in the center of the bottom surface for fixing a standard electrical connector, thereby achieving electrical connection between the probe module and the signal transmission cable. The signal transmission cable uses an aerospace standard information transmission bus standard, such as 1553B. Small holes of 4.5 mm are opened around the bottom surface for fixing the probe frame to the robotic arm via threaded connections. Each of the five sides of the probe frame (excluding the bottom surface) has a 45 mm * 45 mm * 5 mm groove for fixing the detachable probe module. In this embodiment, the erosion sensor, hindrance potential analyzer, planar Langmuir probe, and Faraday probe are sequentially fixed around the probe frame, while the spherical Langmuir probe is fixed at the top.
[0029] The probe system utilizes a cubic frame with an electrical connector at the bottom. By fixing different probes to the sides of the cube, it can carry five different probes for multi-probe joint diagnostics, ensuring the reliability and comprehensiveness of the parameters measured in situ. Furthermore, the entire probe system envelope is less than 85 mm * 100 mm * 285 mm, featuring a compact structure and high integration of probes via bottom electrical connectors. Through combined diagnostics using Langmuir, Faraday, hindrance potential analyzers, and erosion sensors, it achieves integrated diagnostic measurement of microscopic plasma parameters and macroscopic erosion. The planar Langmuir and Faraday analyzers can serve as backups for each other, ensuring high reliability.
[0030] As an optional implementation, the mechanical interface module is connected to the robotic arm and the spacecraft via a standard flange; the base is a motion platform for translational, rotational or combined motion; the satellite overall control unit in the circuit module is used to control the movement of the base through commands and drive the robotic arm, probe module and probe frame to move through the base, so as to meet the position requirements in different probe missions through movement.
[0031] For example, such as Figure 3 The mechanical interface shown is connected to the robotic arm and the spacecraft via standard flanges. The base is a motion platform capable of translational, rotational, or combined movements. The satellite overall control unit in the circuit module can command the base to move, thereby driving the robotic arm, detachable probe module, and probe frame to meet the positional requirements of different probe missions.
[0032] The modular design of the probes, with each probe secured to the probe frame using a 45 mm x 45 mm base, facilitates easy installation and replacement. By modifying the probe dimensions according to the thruster's plume parameters, different space missions can be performed. The system is relatively complete, including a robotic arm interface module and a circuit module in addition to the probe system. By simply inputting a preset program (the robotic arm motion program covering probe measurement points, probe power supply, and data acquisition programs) into the overall control module of the circuit module, real-time monitoring of the thruster for different missions can be achieved. Since only probe dimensions and program input are required for different missions, it is highly economical and has a short development cycle. Furthermore, with the addition of the robotic arm module, the measurement points are no longer fixed, allowing coverage of the entire space area, facilitating subsequent mission requirements such as mapping three-dimensional space plasma parameters.
[0033] Step S120: The circuit module converts the analog signal of the probe measurement data into a digital signal, and the probe measurement data is processed in real time and the thruster performance is monitored in real time by transmitting data through the interface based on the digital signal, so as to obtain the on-orbit diagnostic results of the electric propulsion plasma plume.
[0034] As one possible implementation, the circuit module includes a power processing unit, a satellite overall control unit, and a signal measurement unit. The circuit module converts the analog signals of the probe measurement data into digital signals, and based on these digital signals, transmits data via an interface for real-time processing of the probe measurement data and real-time monitoring of the thruster's performance. Specifically, this may include the following steps: The power processing unit converts the 28V bus into the voltage required by each probe in the probe module and powers the probes; the signal measurement unit converts the analog signals of the probe measurement data into digital signals, transmits the digital signals to the satellite overall control unit in real time, and transmits data down through the 1553B bus interface in real time for real-time processing of probe measurement data and real-time monitoring of thruster performance. The control signal is generated by the satellite overall control unit. The interface between the power processing unit and the satellite overall control unit includes the level signal of the power switch of each probe controlled according to the control signal and the analog and digital data path of the probe measurement part returning the measurement signal.
[0035] For example, such as Figure 7 The diagram shows a system schematic of the circuit module. The power supply unit in the circuit module includes: a -30V voltage generation unit, a 0.1V voltage generation unit, a -20~80V scanning voltage generation unit, and a 0~600V scanning voltage generation unit, used to convert the 28V bus voltage into the voltage required by each probe to power it. The signal measurement unit in the circuit module is used to convert the measured probe analog signals into digital signals and transmit them in real time to the satellite overall control module (e.g., ...). Figure 7 The system is integrated into the overall control unit (BCU) and transmits data in real time via the 1553B bus interface to achieve real-time processing of probe data and real-time monitoring of thruster performance. Control signals are generated by the satellite overall control module. The interface between the power processing unit (PPU) and the satellite overall control module includes the level signals controlling the power switches of each probe and the analog and digital data paths for the measurement signals returned by the probe measurement section.
[0036] By setting up probe modules, probe frames, circuit modules, mechanical interface modules, and signal transmission cables in an integrated electric propulsion plasma plume on-orbit diagnostic system, and by acquiring multi-faceted probe measurement data of the thruster using probe modules containing various types of probes, and then converting the analog signals of the measurement probes corresponding to the multi-faceted probe measurement data into digital signals through the circuit module, and performing real-time processing of probe measurement data and real-time monitoring of thruster performance based on the digital signals transmitted through the interface, this system can provide highly economical, highly reliable, and scalable in-situ measurements for on-orbit electric propulsion plume diagnostics, thereby improving the accuracy of on-orbit plasma plume diagnostic data for real-time plume diagnosis.
[0037] In this embodiment, the detachable probe module facilitates easy disassembly and assembly, and allows for modification of probe size and configuration for different tasks. It offers good maintainability and expandability, and facilitates multi-probe joint diagnostics to achieve cross-validation and complementary in-situ measurements. Furthermore, the integrated electric propulsion plasma plume on-orbit diagnostic system is highly integrated and compact, with an overall envelope of 85 mm * 100 mm * 285 mm. Moreover, the main structural components of the integrated electric propulsion plasma plume on-orbit diagnostic system are made of aluminum alloy, while the probe electrodes and gates utilize a titanium alloy surface nitriding process. This reduces weight while ensuring minimal internal electromagnetic interference, uniform work function on the electrode surface, antigen oxygen content, corrosion resistance, and excellent strength. In addition, the integrated electric propulsion plasma plume on-orbit diagnostic system boasts high integrity and can be directly applied to acquire probe data and monitor thruster performance in real time during different on-orbit missions. A robotic arm can achieve full coverage of space measurement points.
[0038] In some embodiments, the power processing unit includes: a -30 V voltage generation unit, a 0.1 V voltage generation unit, a -20~80 V scanning voltage generation unit, and a 0~600 V scanning voltage generation unit; the method may further include the following steps: The -30 V voltage generation unit provides power to the collector and guard, RPA shielded gate, and -20~80 V scanning voltage generation unit. The wide input voltage DC / DC controller chip executes a flyback boost-buck topology. The coupled inductor is driven by an N-channel MOSFET. When the switch is on, energy is stored in the main winding of the inductor. When the switch is off, the energy is released to the load through the secondary winding and DC blocking capacitor to convert 28 V to -30 V. The collector and guard of PLP and SLP are powered by a -20~80 V scanning voltage generation unit. The 1MHz crystal oscillator signal is divided to a specified value by a frequency divider and then input to the digital-to-analog converter chip via a specified bit counter to output a -1~4 V scanning voltage signal within a specified time. The -1~4 V scanning voltage signal is then amplified by a signal amplification module composed of a power operational amplifier to generate a -20~80 V scanning voltage signal. The erosion sensor in the probe module is powered by a 0.1 V voltage generation unit, and the output is linearly adjustable by using a constant 50 μA current source inside a low dropout linear regulator and a programmable resistor to convert 28 V to 0.1 V. The RPA scanning gate is powered by a 0~600 V scanning voltage generation unit. A low-dropout linear regulator is used to regulate and step down the power supply and generate an error amplifier reference voltage. The transformer is controlled by a high-voltage capacitor charging controller chip to boost and rectify the voltage to charge the high-voltage capacitor and raise the output voltage. A portion of the output voltage is compared with the input 0~5 V control signal, amplified, and fed back to the FB pin of the high-voltage capacitor charging controller chip. The high-voltage capacitor charging controller chip switches between working, holding, and non-working states to make the output voltage follow the 0~5 V control signal for linear scanning.
[0039] As an example, the power processing unit includes: a -30 V voltage generation unit for powering the FP collector and guard ring, the RPA shielded gate, and a -20~80 V scan voltage generation unit. Figure 7 As shown, an LT3758 is used to implement a flyback boost-buck topology: an N-channel MOSFET drives a coupled inductor. When the switch is on, energy is stored in the inductor's main winding; when off, the energy is released to the load through the secondary winding and a DC blocking capacitor, achieving a 28V to -30V conversion. A -20~80V scanning voltage generation unit is used to power the collector and guard ring of the PLP and SLP, respectively. Figure 7 As shown, the 1MHz crystal oscillator signal is divided into 256 segments by a frequency divider and then input to the AD9764 digital-to-analog converter chip via a 14-bit counter to output a scan voltage signal of -1 to 4V within 4 seconds. This scan signal is then amplified by a signal amplification module (gain 20) composed of OP454 to generate a scan voltage signal of -20 to 80V. A 0.1V voltage generation unit is used to power the erosion sensor (ES). Figure 7 As shown, a linearly adjustable output is achieved using the LT3081's internal constant 50 μA current source and programmable resistors, converting 28 V to 0.1 V. The 0~600 V scan voltage generation unit powers the RPA scan gate. First, the LT3081 regulates and steps down the power supply to generate the error amplifier reference voltage. Then, the LT3751 (high-voltage capacitor charging controller chip) controls the transformer to boost and rectify the voltage, charging the high-voltage capacitor and raising the output voltage. 1 / 12 of the output voltage is compared with the input 0~5 V control signal, amplified, and fed back to the LT3751 FB pin. This controls the chip (the aforementioned LT3751 high-voltage capacitor charging controller chip) to switch between active / hold / inactive states, ensuring the output voltage follows the 0~5 V control signal for linear scanning.
