Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a parameter assignment method for a spacecraft relative navigation system, belonging to the field of relative navigation technology for space rendezvous and docking missions. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, the demand for spacecraft to perform on-orbit servicing missions such as debris removal, on-orbit maintenance, and cargo resupply has increased dramatically. Obtaining the relative state between the spacecraft and the servicing target using relative navigation technology is a prerequisite for completing on-orbit servicing missions.

[0003] When the relative distance between the spacecraft and the target is on the order of kilometers to tens of meters, the observed object is approximated as a point target. The onboard tracking and aiming equipment outputs the line-of-sight vector information of the target point relative to the origin of the measurement coordinate system in polar coordinates, including the line-of-sight distance, elevation angle, and azimuth angle. The line-of-sight vector has a non-linear mapping relationship with the relative position state of the two satellites. To facilitate the calculation by the navigation system, the polar coordinates of the line-of-sight vector are usually converted into the three-axis relative position in the Cartesian measurement coordinate system based on spatial geometry. This converted measurement information is then introduced into the relative navigation system, and the filtered estimate of the relative position of the two satellites is calculated by a linear Kalman filter. This relative orbital state estimation method based on converted measurements avoids the use of non-linear filters and the calculation of the Jacobian matrix, greatly saving onboard computing resources.

[0004] However, during the conversion of the line-of-sight vector to the relative position, the noise from the originally independent observations becomes coupled. The noise characteristics of the converted measurement information are no longer solely determined by the characteristics of the tracking and aiming equipment and the internal algorithm of a single machine, but change with the position of the target point within the tracking and aiming field of view. Because the noise characteristics of the converted measurement information are influenced by a combination of factors, the analytical expression of the parameter used to describe the noise characteristics of the measurement information in the relative navigation system—the measurement noise covariance matrix—is extremely complex. Current spaceborne relative navigation systems typically assume that the noise characteristics of the converted measurement information are consistent with the noise characteristics of the line-of-sight distance in the original measurement information. This assumption leads to inaccurate assignment of the measurement noise covariance matrix, significantly affecting the error convergence speed and state estimation accuracy of the navigation system. To address the impact of inaccurate assignment of the noise covariance matrix on the state estimation accuracy of the relative navigation system, existing methods mainly improve the theoretical accuracy of the assignment method. However, such techniques require extremely high computational costs, which is not conducive to real-time calculations by spaceborne computers with limited computing resources.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need to improve the method for assigning the measurement noise covariance matrix of the converted measurement information, so that it can accurately describe the noise characteristics of the converted measurement information, while having a concise expression form and low computational complexity, which is convenient for real-time calculation by the onboard computer. Summary of the Invention
