Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of aerospace telemetry and control technology, and more specifically, to a method, apparatus, and electronic equipment for determining the orbit of a probe. Background Technology

[0002] Interplanetary deep space exploration relies on Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) to accurately determine the angular position of a probe in the sky. Currently, in lunar and deep space exploration missions, Delta Differential One-Way Ranging (Delta-DOR) is generally used for precise time delay measurements.

[0003] Delta-DOR technology improves measurement accuracy by alternately observing the detector and an extragalactic radio source located at a nearby angular position, and using the radio source data to calibrate the common error sources between the detector and the radio source, including common errors caused by the atmosphere, ionosphere, and instrumentation.

[0004] As deep space exploration distances increase and mission complexity grows, there is an urgent need to address the problem of high-precision processing of weak signals. For example, in missions exploring the edge of the solar system, probes need to travel to depths of 10 billion kilometers. This vast distance causes significant free-space loss during signal propagation (over 10 billion kilometers, with an X-band free-space loss of -310.9 dB), drastically weakening the signal strength received by ground stations. Furthermore, as the distance between the probe and Earth continues to increase, the lateral measurement error also increases with the same time delay measurement accuracy. Therefore, achieving high-precision orbit determination of weak signals from probes has become a critical challenge that urgently needs to be solved in deep space exploration.

[0005] There is currently no effective solution to the above problems. Summary of the Invention

This achieves the goal of high-precision orbit determination even in the weak signal environment of deep space exploration, thus realizing the technical effect of precise measurement and real-time updating of the probe's orbital state.

[0043] This invention proposes a method for calculating the orbit of a probe using local correlation interferometry. Considering the characteristics of local correlation interferometry, observation models for time delay and delay rate under coherent and incoherent modes are established.

[0045] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to various embodiments.

[0046] Example 1

[0047] According to an embodiment of the present invention, an embodiment of a method for determining a probe orbit is provided. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart in the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer-executable instructions. Furthermore, although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described may be executed in a different order than that shown here.

[0048] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of an optional method for determining a detector orbit according to an embodiment of the present invention, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0049] Step S101: Obtain the initial orbit information of the target detector, wherein the initial orbit information includes at least: initial position and initial velocity.

[0050] In this embodiment of the invention, the initial orbit information of the target detector can be obtained first. Here, "initial orbit information" refers to the position and velocity of the detector at a certain point in time. This information can be obtained through launch planning, preliminary orbit calculation or other measurement methods (such as optical observation).

[0051] Step S102: Based on the initial orbital information, the ephemeris of the target probe is determined using a dynamic model, wherein the ephemeris includes the position and velocity of the target probe at each moment.

[0052] In this embodiment of the invention, after obtaining the initial orbital information of the target probe, a dynamic model can be used to predict the probe's future orbit. The dynamic model is a mathematical description of the probe's motion state under the influence of various forces (such as gravity, solar wind, and radiation pressure). Based on the initial orbital information, this model can be used to calculate the predicted position and velocity of the target probe at each moment, forming an "ephemeris." Here, the ephemeris is a continuous time series that precisely records the spatial state of the probe at different points in time.

[0053] Step S103: Based on the base station location and ephemeris of each base station, the distance between the target detector and each base station at each time step is determined using a local correlation observation model, and the observation partial derivative at each time step is determined based on all distances, wherein the number of base stations is at least two.

[0054] In this embodiment of the invention, after determining the predicted orbit of the detector, the actual distance changes between the detector and each base station can be determined using the position information and ephemeris of at least two base stations via local correlation interferometry. Here, the local correlation observation model is an optimized data processing framework that allows preliminary data processing to be performed locally at each base station, reducing the burden of data transmission. Then, based on the calculated distance changes between the target detector and the base stations, the "observation partial derivatives," i.e., the rate of change of the detector's position and velocity relative to the time-delayed observations, are further determined to quantify the degree of influence of measurement errors on orbital parameters.

[0055] Step S104: Based on the measurement data and observation partial derivatives at each moment, the least squares estimation algorithm is used to determine the velocity change and position change of the target detector at each moment, and the orbit of the target detector is determined based on the initial orbit information, the velocity change and position change at each moment.

[0056] In this embodiment of the invention, by combining actual measurement data and theoretically predicted observation partial derivatives, a least squares estimation algorithm is used to determine the fine-tuning of the target detector's actual position and velocity at each moment. Here, least squares estimation is an optimization method based on probabilistic statistics principles, used to find a set of parameters that minimizes the sum of squared deviations between the observed values ​​and the model's predicted values. In this embodiment, the detector's orbital parameters, namely velocity and position, can be adjusted based on the residuals of the measurement data and their degree of matching with the theoretical predictions, thereby making the predicted orbit closer to the actual orbit. Then, these adjusted parameters are superimposed on the initial orbital information to complete the accurate determination of the target detector's orbit.

[0057] In summary, the initial orbital information of the target probe, including its initial position and velocity, can be obtained first. Then, based on this orbital information, a dynamic model is used to predict the future ephemeris of the target probe, i.e., its expected position and velocity at each moment. Next, based on the base station position and the predicted ephemeris of each base station, a local correlation observation model is used to calculate the theoretical distance between the target probe and each base station, and further determine the observation partial derivative at each moment. Finally, combining the actual measurement data and the calculated observation partial derivative, the least squares estimation algorithm is used to solve for the small changes in the velocity and position of the target probe at each moment. This iterative optimization of the probe's orbital information ensures that even under extremely weak signal conditions, precise orbit determination of the probe can be achieved. This achieves the goal of high-precision orbit determination in the weak signal environment of deep space exploration, thus realizing the technical effect of precise measurement and real-time updating of the probe's orbital state. This solves the technical problem that traditional orbit determination methods cannot meet the accuracy requirements of deep space exploration missions due to signal attenuation.

[0058] To improve the accuracy of determining the ephemeris of the target probe, the method for determining the probe's orbit provided in Embodiment 1 of this application determines the orbit type of the target probe, which includes: lunar exploration orbit type and deep space exploration orbit type. When the orbit type is a lunar exploration orbit type, the ephemeris of the target probe is determined using a numerical integration algorithm based on initial orbit information and a preset set of dynamic accelerations. The preset set of dynamic accelerations includes at least one of the following: central mass, non-spherical perturbation, solar radiation pressure perturbation, other planetary perturbation, and post-Newtonian effect perturbation. When the orbit type is a deep space exploration orbit type, the orbit of the target probe is integrated by changing the celestial center based on the initial orbit information and the preset set of dynamic accelerations to obtain the ephemeris of the target probe.

[0059] In this embodiment of the invention, the orbit type of the target probe can be determined first. The orbit type can be determined based on the mission nature and operating environment of the probe. There are two main types of orbits: lunar exploration orbits and deep space exploration orbits. The orbit determination methods and dynamic models for each type are different to adapt to their unique needs and challenges.

[0060] In this embodiment of the invention, local correlation interferometry can be applied to orbit determination for lunar exploration and deep space exploration. Therefore, the dynamic model of the lunar orbit is shown in Table 1.

[0061] Table 1

[0062]

[0063] The lunar orbit time system uses Earth time. With the initial orbital values ​​and the dynamic accelerations in Table 1, the probe's position and velocity at similar times can be obtained using numerical integration.

[0064] The dynamic model of deep space exploration is shown in Table 2.

[0065] Table 2

[0066]

[0067] Deep space exploration orbital time systems all employ center-of-mass dynamic time. When a probe's orbit crosses the boundary of an influence sphere, the orbital integration can be performed by changing the center of the celestial body, or a larger celestial body can be used uniformly for orbital integration; the differences are negligible over short periods.

[0068] Specifically, when the target probe is in a lunar exploration mission, i.e., its orbit type is a lunar exploration orbit, a preset set of dynamic accelerations is introduced to predict the orbit based on the initial orbit information (including initial position and velocity). The preset set of dynamic accelerations includes a variety of factors that significantly affect the probe's motion state, including but not limited to: central mass: considering Earth as the main gravitational source, the main dynamic characteristics of the probe when moving away from the Moon are determined by the gravity of Earth's central mass; non-spherical perturbation: Earth is not a perfect sphere, and the changes in the gravitational field caused by its uneven mass distribution are described and simulated using a high-order Earth gravity model (such as the JGM3 model); solar radiation pressure perturbation: the pressure generated by solar radiation on the probe's surface affects its trajectory, especially in the space environment where there is no atmospheric drag; perturbation by other planets: in addition to Earth and the Moon, other large planets in the solar system also interfere with the probe's orbit, calculated using the relative positions of the Sun and other planets and their gravitational effects; post-Newtonian effect perturbation: considering relativistic effects, especially the additional gravitational effects that occur when the probe approaches a gravitationally powerful celestial body (such as the Sun).

[0069] To integrate these complex dynamic factors, numerical integration algorithms, such as the KSG (Kanevsky, Sagiv, and Goshen) integration method, can be used to process the dynamic model, thereby obtaining the precise position and velocity of the target detector at each moment, i.e., forming a detailed "ephemeris", which provides a theoretical basis for subsequent measurement data processing and comparison.

[0070] For deep space exploration orbits, more flexible and refined orbit integration strategies are needed because the probe may traverse different celestial bodies' influence regions. Based on initial orbital information, a dynamic acceleration set is applied. However, considering that the gravitational effects of celestial bodies (such as the Sun and major planets) change with the probe's position during deep space exploration, a method of changing the celestial body's center can be used for integration. This means that when the probe moves away from Earth or crosses the boundary of Earth's influence sphere, its integration center can be switched from the Earth's center to the heliocentric or other celestial body's center to more accurately reflect the gravitational environment experienced by the probe, thus obtaining a more precise ephemeris. This approach is suitable for missions that are very far from Earth, or even may approach other major planets, such as Jupiter, Pluto, or exploration of the solar system's edge.

[0071] In this embodiment, regardless of whether the probe is in a lunar or deep space orbit, a dynamic model and appropriate integration algorithm can effectively overcome interference from signal attenuation, atmospheric and ionospheric delays, and achieve high-precision orbit determination. Particularly in deep space exploration missions, due to the extreme distance from Earth and the extremely weak signal strength, the advantages of local correlation interferometry are fully utilized. Combined with an integration strategy that changes the celestial center, precise orbit determination can be achieved even under weak signal conditions. This is crucial for ensuring subsequent communication connections, orbit adjustments, and even the smooth conduct of scientific experiments. Thus, not only is orbit determination accuracy improved, but the complexity of data processing and the demand for communication bandwidth are reduced, enhancing the overall efficiency and reliability of deep space exploration missions.

[0072] To improve the accuracy of determining the distance between the target detector and each base station at each moment, in the detector orbit determination method provided in Embodiment 1 of this application, when there are two base stations, the base stations are divided into a primary base station and a secondary base station; the first and second transmitted signals received by the primary and secondary base stations at the same receiving moment are determined, and the first transmission moment of the target detector transmitting the first transmitted signal and the second transmission moment of the second transmitted signal are determined; based on the primary base station's first base station position and the target detector's position at the receiving moment, the first downlink distance of the primary base station is determined, wherein the detector position is determined by interpolating the ephemeris; the first downlink distance refers to the distance between the target detector and the primary base station at the receiving moment; based on the secondary base station's second base station position and the target detector's position at the receiving moment, the second downlink distance of the secondary base station is determined, wherein the second downlink distance refers to the distance between the target detector and the secondary base station at the receiving moment.

[0073] In this embodiment of the invention, the time delay of conventional correlation interferometry is defined as: assuming the detector's launch time... The same transmitted signal received at the main station Sta1 The distance between the detector and the main station The same transmitted signal received at the secondary station Sta2 The distance between the detector and the secondary station The time difference between the main station and the secondary station receiving the same transmitted signal is used as the time delay. Specifically, it is expressed as:

[0074] (1);

[0075] Where c represents the speed of light.

[0076] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of an optional conventional correlation interferometry according to an embodiment of the present invention, such as... Figure 2As shown, two base stations are established on Earth: the main station Sta1 and the secondary station Sta2. The probe... (Velocity vector, representing the velocity and direction of the detector's motion) Motion at launch time The transmitted signal, and the time at which the signal is received at the master station Sta1. At this time, the distance between the detector and the main station Sta1 The time when the signal is received at the secondary station Sta2 At this time, the distance between the detector and the secondary station Sta2 .

[0077] In this embodiment of the invention, local correlation interferometry is used for observation modeling. Local correlation includes two modes. The first mode is an incoherent one-way measurement mode similar to traditional correlation, defined as: detector launch time... From the second launch time to the receiving time at the secondary station Sta2 distance (Second downlink distance), relative to the probe launch time From the first launch time to the main station Sta1 receiving time distance The time difference corresponding to the first downlink distance. The difference from traditional methods is that the primary and secondary stations receive signals at the same time, but the detectors transmit signals at different times. Therefore, when calculating the downlink distance... and The algorithm also differs from traditional related algorithms, specifically:

[0078] Calculate the downlink distance of the main station The timescale of the measurement data is :

[0079] (1) Calculate the location of the main station (Right now (Current location of the main station).

[0080] (2) Interpolation detector ephemeris (Right now (Detector position at the current moment).

[0081] (3) Calculate the downlink distance of the main station .

[0082] Calculate the downlink distance of the secondary station The timescale of the measurement data is :

[0083] (4) Calculate the location of the secondary station (Right now (Location of the secondary station at the current time).

[0084] (5) Interpolation detector ephemeris (Right now (Detector position at the current moment).

[0085] (6) Calculate the downlink distance of the secondary station The specific calculation steps are the same as those for calculating the downlink distance of the main station. The steps are the same.

[0086] Specifically, when two base stations are configured—one primary base station and one secondary base station—local correlation incoherent one-way measurement technology can be used to accurately calculate the target detector's orbit. A precise timing system, such as GPS (Global Positioning System) or Galileo, can be used to ensure clock synchronization between the two base stations. In practice, the primary and secondary base stations each receive two sets of signals emitted by the target detector: a first transmission signal and a second transmission signal, and the reception times of these two sets of signals are precisely recorded. Here, "first" and "second" transmission signals refer to two sets of signals emitted at different times, not their sequential order. Using high-precision timing equipment at the stations, the reception time of each set of signals is recorded, and combined with relativistic optical time corrections, the actual transmission time of the target detector is calculated in reverse. This process considers the signal propagation time in space and potential atmospheric and ionospheric delays, ensuring that the obtained transmission time is accurate and reliable. Then, using the known location of the primary base station (i.e., the "first base station location") and the "detector location" determined by interpolation of the target detector's ephemeris, the first downlink distance between the primary base station and the target detector is precisely calculated based on geometric relationships and relativistic correction theory. Here, the first downlink distance refers to the straight-line distance between the target detector and the primary base station at the receiving time; this distance is the basis for calculating the time delay. Simultaneously, using the location information of the secondary base station and the target detector's location at the same receiving time, the second downlink distance between the secondary base station and the target detector is calculated.

[0087] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of an optional locally correlated incoherent one-way measurement according to an embodiment of the present invention, such as... Figure 3 As shown, two base stations are established on Earth: the main station Sta1 and the secondary station Sta2. The probe...

At this time, the distance between the detector and the main station Sta1 The probe at launch time The second signal is transmitted, and the receiving time of this second signal at the secondary station Sta2 is... At this time, the distance between the detector and the secondary station Sta2 .

[0088] In this embodiment, not only can precise time delay data between the target probe and the primary and secondary base stations be obtained under weak signal conditions, but the time delay rate can also be further calculated, thereby achieving high-precision probe orbit determination in deep space environments. This effectively compensates for the shortcomings of traditional interferometry techniques under conditions of significant signal attenuation, demonstrating its unique value and advantages, particularly in missions exploring Jupiter, Pluto, and even the edge of the solar system. Through joint analysis of time delay and time delay rate between base stations, coupled with collaborative work with a unified telemetry and control system, orbit determination accuracy is significantly improved, providing a solid technical guarantee for the successful implementation of subsequent deep space exploration missions.

[0089] To improve the accuracy of determining the first downlink distance of the main base station, in the detector orbit determination method provided in Embodiment 1 of this application, the steps are as follows: Step 1, based on the location of the first base station and the detector location, determine the initial distance between the target detector and the main base station, wherein the detector location is the location of the target detector at the receiving time; Step 2, based on the distance from the target detector to the center of mass of each celestial body, the distance from the main base station to the center of mass of each celestial body, and the initial distance, determine the relativistic light travel time; Step 3, based on the relativistic light travel time and the speed of light, correct the initial distance to obtain the corrected distance; Step 4, based on the corrected distance and the speed of light, determine the total light travel; Step 5, based on the receiving time and the total light travel, determine the initial transmission time of the target detector; using the initial transmission time as the new receiving time, repeat steps 1 to 5 above until the absolute difference between the corrected distance determined in the current iteration and the corrected distance determined in the previous iteration is less than a preset distance threshold, and the corrected distance determined in the last iteration is determined as the first downlink distance.

[0090] In this embodiment of the invention, the downlink distance of the master station is calculated. The steps are as follows:

[0091] 1) Calculate the initial value of the downlink distance:

[0092] (2);

[0093] 2) Calculate the relativistic light travel time (RLT) based on the position vectors of the detector and the ground station:

This represents the scale factor, which can be set to 1. In a Mars mission, it is actually sufficient to consider only the influence of the Sun.

[0096] 3) Calculate the distance correction:

[0097] (4);

[0098] 4) Calculate the total optical travel time :

[0099] (5);

[0100] 5) Calculate the detector launch time:

[0101] (6);

[0102] 6) By replace Repeat steps 1) through 5) until the current value is reached. Compared with the previous calculation value (The difference between the corrected distance determined in the previous iteration) The process ends at time m.

[0103] Specifically, based on the known location of the main base station and the instantaneous location of the target detector at the moment of reception (obtained through interpolated ephemeris data), geometric calculation methods (such as the Euclidean distance formula) are applied to estimate the initial distance between them. Then, using formulas of general relativity, combined with the distances from the target detector to the center of mass of each celestial body, the distance from the main base station to the center of mass of each celestial body, and the obtained initial distance, the relativistic light travel time of the signal propagating in space is calculated. Here, each center of mass includes, but is not limited to, the Sun, major planets, and the Moon, and the positions of the celestial bodies are provided by the DE436 ephemeris. Based on the relativistic light travel time, and combined with the speed of light (usually approximated as 299,792,458 m / s), the propagation distance of the signal is recalculated to obtain the corrected distance. The corrected distance is an improvement on the initial distance, more closely approximating the actual physical distance of signal propagation. Based on the corrected distance, the total light travel time of the signal is calculated again using the speed of light; this time is the total time from the signal being emitted by the target detector to being received by the main base station. Subtracting the calculated total light travel time from the reception time yields the initial transmission time of the signal emitted by the target detector. This point in time marks the starting point of the iterative correction process. This time will then be used as the new receiving time, and all the aforementioned steps will be recalculated. The transmitting time obtained in the previous step will be used as the new receiving time, and steps one through five will be repeated until the absolute difference between the corrected distances obtained from two adjacent iterations is less than a preset distance threshold (e.g., on the order of meters or smaller). Through this iterative correction process, the final determined first downlink distance is a high-precision result obtained after multiple corrections.

[0104] In this embodiment, by introducing relativistic optical time-of-travel correction and iterative distance calculation, the accuracy of the target probe's orbit calculation is significantly improved. In deep space exploration, especially for missions to Jupiter, Pluto, and the edge of the solar system, this effectively overcomes the challenges of signal strength attenuation and increased lateral measurement errors, enabling precise orbit determination of the probe at vast distances. By combining traditional interferometry techniques with local correlation techniques, the bandwidth requirements for data transmission can be significantly reduced while maintaining or even improving the accuracy of orbit determination, providing strong technical support for lunar and deep space exploration missions.

[0105] To further accurately determine the distance between the target detector and each base station at each moment, in the detector orbit determination method provided in Embodiment 1 of this application, when there are three base stations, the base stations are divided into a main base station, a secondary base station, and an uplink base station; the third and fourth transmission signals received by the main base station and the secondary base station at the same receiving moment are determined; the third transmission moment of the uplink base station transmitting the third transmission signal and the first arrival moment of the third transmission signal reaching the target detector are determined, and the fourth transmission moment of the uplink base station transmitting the fourth transmission signal and the second arrival moment of the fourth transmission signal reaching the target detector are determined; based on the first base station position of the main base station, the third base station position of the uplink base station, and the detector position of the target detector at the receiving moment, the first distance sum of the main base station is determined, wherein the first distance sum is obtained by adding the first distance between the target detector and the main base station at the receiving moment to the second distance between the target detector and the uplink base station at the receiving moment; based on the second base station position of the secondary base station, the third base station position of the uplink base station, and the detector position of the target detector at the receiving moment, the second distance sum of the secondary base station is determined, wherein the second distance sum is obtained by adding the third distance between the target detector and the secondary base station at the receiving moment to the fourth distance between the target detector and the uplink base station at the receiving moment.

[0106] In this embodiment of the invention, the second mode of local correlation interferometry is similar to the coherent three-way measurement mode in the Unified Command and Control System (UXB), defined as: the time when the uplink station Sta3 transmits the signal (fourth transmission signal) (Fourth launch time) Elapsed time (Second arrival time) Arrives at the detector, and is relayed by the detector to the secondary station Sta2 for reception. distance and (Second distance sum), and the time of the uplink station Sta3 transmitting the signal (third transmission signal). Time (First arrival time) Arrives at the detector, and is relayed by the detector to the main station Sta1 for reception. distance and The time difference corresponding to (first distance sum). The difference from the incoherent mode is that the distance calculation for both the master and slave stations is the sum of distances including uplink. The similarity is that the data timestamps are both the signal reception time, and they are the same for both the master and slave stations. Specifically:

[0107] Calculate the distance to the main station and The timescale of the measurement data is :

[0108] (1) Calculate the location of the main station ;

[0109] (2) Interpolation detector ephemeris ;

[0110] (3) Calculate the downlink distance of the main station The calculation steps are the same as those in the incoherent mode (i.e., the first model);

[0111] (4) Calculate the distance from the uplink station to the detector. .

[0112] Calculate the distance to the secondary station and The timescale of the measurement data is :

[0113] (5) Calculate the location of the main station ;

[0114] (6) Interpolation detector ephemeris ;

[0115] (7) Calculate the downlink distance of the main station The calculation steps are the same as those for calculating the downlink distance of the main station. Steps;

[0116] (8) Calculate the distance from the uplink station to the detector. The calculation steps are the same as calculating the uplink distance from the uplink station to the detector. The steps.

[0117] Specifically, if the number of base stations is expanded to three, defined as the main base station, secondary base station, and uplink base station, a more complex local correlation interferometry technique can be adopted to improve the accuracy of detector orbit calculation. First, both the main and secondary base stations are equipped with high-precision clocks and synchronization receivers to ensure signal reception synchronization. Then, through cross-checking and comparison of signals, it is confirmed that the third and fourth signals transmitted by the target detector were indeed received at the same reception time. Using the high-precision clock and timing system of the uplink base station, the third transmission time of the third transmitted signal and the fourth transmission time of the fourth transmitted signal are recorded. The target detector is equipped with dedicated signal receiving and decoding equipment, capable of accurately recording the first arrival time of the third transmitted signal and the second arrival time of the fourth transmitted signal. Based on the known location of the first base station (main base station), the location of the third base station (uplink base station), and the detector position of the target detector at the reception time obtained through ephemeris interpolation, the first distance between the main base station and the target detector and the second distance between the target detector and the uplink base station are calculated. Subsequently, these two distances are added together to obtain the first distance sum. Similar to the distance calculation for the primary base station, the third distance between the secondary base station and the target detector, and the fourth distance between the target detector and the uplink base station, are calculated using the location of the secondary base station and the same location information of the target detector at the time of reception. Finally, these two distances are added together to obtain the second distance sum.

[0118] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of an optional local correlation coherence three-way measurement according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 4 As shown, three base stations have been established on Earth: the main station Sta1, the secondary station Sta2, and the uplink station Sta3. The probe...

Transmit a signal, which takes time The signal arrives at the detector and is relayed to the main station Sta1 for reception. distance and ( This represents the distance from the detector to the main station, Sta1. The distance from the detector to the uplink station Sta3.

[0119] In this embodiment, by introducing uplink base stations to participate in local correlation interferometry in coherent mode, signal redundancy and diversity are increased. This not only improves the robustness of signal transmission but also helps to more precisely identify and correct various error sources during signal transmission, including but not limited to atmospheric delay, ionospheric effects, Doppler shift, and relativistic effects. By accurately calculating the first and second distance sums, the ability to monitor the target probe's orbital state can be significantly enhanced, enabling high-precision orbit determination even in deep space exploration environments with extremely weak signals. Compared to traditional incoherent modes, measurements in coherent mode provide richer datasets, helping to improve the accuracy of orbit prediction and real-time adjustments. This provides a more accurate and reliable means of orbit determination for subsequent lunar and deep space exploration missions, especially for exploration of Jupiter, Pluto, and even the edge of the solar system. Furthermore, this coherent measurement mode based on multiple base stations can also reduce the bandwidth requirements for data transmission to some extent, optimizing resource allocation in deep space communication links.

[0120] To improve the accuracy of determining the second or fourth distance, in the detector orbit determination method provided in Embodiment 1 of this application, the steps are as follows: Step 1: Based on the arrival time and ephemeris, determine the detector position of the target detector at the arrival time, wherein the arrival time is either the first arrival time or the second arrival time; Step 2: Based on the position of the third base station and the detector position, determine the initial distance between the target detector and the uplink base station; Step 3: Based on the distance from the target detector to the center of mass of each celestial body, the distance from the uplink base station to the center of mass of each celestial body, and the initial distance, determine the relativistic light travel time; Step 4: Based on the relativistic light travel time and the speed of light, correct the initial distance to obtain the corrected distance; Step 5: Based on the corrected distance and the speed of light, determine the total light travel time; Step 6: Based on the arrival time and the total light travel time, determine the initial transmission time of the uplink base station; Using the initial transmission time as the new arrival time, repeat steps 1 to 6 until the absolute difference between the corrected distance determined in the current iteration and the corrected distance determined in the previous iteration is less than a preset distance threshold, and determine the corrected distance determined in the last iteration as the second or fourth distance.

[0121] In this embodiment of the invention, the distance from the uplink station to the detector is calculated. (Second distance):

[0122] 1) By obtaining the detector's relay time (First arrival time) and ephemeris (at the moment) (The position of the detector below) calculates the position of the uplink station at the corresponding time. (at the moment) (Location of the upstream station below).

[0126] 4) Calculate the distance correction:

[0127] (8);

[0128] 5) Calculate the total optical travel time :

[0129] (9);

[0130] 6) Calculate the uplink station transmission time:

[0131] (10);

[0132] 7), by replace Repeat steps 1) through 6) until the current value is reached. Compared with the previous calculation value The difference between (the corrected distance determined in the previous iteration) The process ends at time m.

[0133] Calculate the uplink distance from the uplink station to the detector. (Fourth distance), the calculation steps are the same as calculating the distance from the uplink station to the detector. The calculation steps.

[0134] Specifically, using the GPS receiver carried by the detector and pre-set ephemeris data, interpolation calculations are performed to obtain the detector's exact position coordinates at the specified arrival time. Based on the location of the third uplink base station and the determined target detector location, the straight-line distance between them is calculated using basic geometric distance formulas to obtain the initial uplink distance. Combining the distance between the target detector and the center of mass of each celestial body (such as the Sun or planets), the distance from the uplink base station to the center of mass of each celestial body, and the initial uplink distance obtained in the previous step, the formula for calculating the travel time of light in general relativity is applied to accurately estimate the time extension experienced by the signal during propagation (relativistic travel time of light). Using the speed of light as a fixed parameter and combining it with the relativistic travel time of light, the actual propagation distance of the signal is recalculated to obtain the corrected distance. Based on the corrected distance and the speed of light, the total propagation time of the signal (total travel time of light), i.e., the time required for the signal to be sent from the uplink base station to the target detector, is calculated. The arrival time is subtracted from the obtained total travel time to determine the exact time when the uplink base station transmitted the signal. This time is then used as the new arrival time, restarting the calculation process from the beginning of step one. After completing one round of calculations, the initial launch time obtained in the previous round (i.e., the corrected arrival time) is used as the starting point for the new round of calculations. Steps one through six are repeated until the absolute difference between the corrected distance and the result of the previous iteration is lower than a preset distance threshold. The final determined corrected distance is regarded as the true distance between the target detector and the uplink base station, i.e., the second distance or the fourth distance.

[0135] In this embodiment, by introducing relativistic correction and iterative optimization mechanisms, the accuracy of distance and time measurements between the target probe and the uplink base station is significantly improved. This precise measurement is particularly crucial for orbit calculations in deep space environments, as it allows for a more accurate understanding of the probe's real-time dynamics, including its position, velocity, and orientation, thereby improving the reliability of orbit prediction and control. Especially when tracking spacecraft traveling billions of kilometers away, even minute distance errors can lead to significant deviations in orbit predictions.

[0136] To improve the accuracy of determining the observation partial derivative at each moment, in the detector orbit determination method provided in Embodiment 1 of this application, the local correlation delay of the target detector at each moment is determined based on all distances; the delay rate is determined based on the adjacent local correlation delays with a preset integration time interval; the first partial derivative of the local correlation delay with respect to the orbit information of the target detector is determined, and the second partial derivative of the delay rate with respect to the orbit information of the target detector is determined; the observation partial derivative is determined based on the first and second partial derivatives.

[0137] In this embodiment of the invention, in the locally correlated incoherent one-way measurement mode, based on the first downlink distance With the second downlink distance The absolute difference between them is used to calculate the local correlation delay of the detector. ,Right now Then, the local correlation delay rate of the detector is calculated. That is, if the latency integration time (preset integration time) is Then the latency can be expressed as: ,in, express Locally correlated latency at any given moment Indicates interval back The local correlated latency at each moment. Then, the latency is calculated. For the probe's position and velocity (orbital information) ( Indicates location, The partial derivative (first partial derivative) of velocity is given by the following formula:

[0138] (11);

[0139] (12);

[0140] in, express The detector's position at that moment, express The current location of the main station. express The detector's position at that moment, express The location of the secondary station at the current time. express The detector speed at that moment.

[0141] Calculate latency Regarding the position and velocity of the detector The partial derivative (second partial derivative) is given by the following formula:

[0142] (13);

[0143] (14);

[0144] in, express The current speed of the main site This indicates the speed between the detector and the master station. express The detector speed at that moment, express The speed of the secondary station at that moment The speed between the detector and the secondary station.

[0145] In the local correlation coherence three-pass measurement mode, the detector's local correlation coherence mode delay is calculated. ,Right now Calculate the detector's local correlation delay rate. The steps are the same as for the locally correlated incoherent one-way measurement mode. Calculate the delay. Regarding the position and velocity of the detector The partial derivatives are calculated using the same steps as for the locally correlated incoherent one-way measurement mode. The delay rate is then calculated. Regarding the position and velocity of the detector The partial derivatives are obtained by taking the same steps as in the local correlated incoherent one-way measurement mode.

[0146] Specifically, based on the obtained distance and the speed of light, the time difference is calculated. This time difference is the local correlation delay. For each measurement moment, a corresponding delay calculation is performed to construct a complete delay dataset. Based on the local correlation delay, within a preset integration time period (e.g., a few seconds or minutes), the ratio of the delay difference between adjacent measurement moments to the time interval is calculated, thus obtaining the delay rate. This process usually needs to be performed over a time series to ensure sufficient data coverage, thereby accurately reflecting the detector's velocity changes. Using the principles of differential calculus, the relationship between delay and delay rate and orbital information such as detector position and velocity is mathematically derived, determining the partial derivatives between each pair of variables. The first partial derivative reflects the direct impact of delay on orbital information, while the second partial derivative reveals the subtle correlation between the delay rate and orbital parameters. These partial derivatives will play a crucial role in the subsequent least squares orbit fitting, used to adjust orbital parameters to better match the observation data. The calculated first and second partial derivatives are then organized to construct a complete partial derivative matrix. Each row represents the time delay or delay rate at an observation moment, and each column corresponds to an orbital parameter, such as the probe's position coordinates and velocity components. This matrix forms the basis for least squares estimation and other statistical orbit determination methods, allowing the residuals of the observation data to be traced back to the uncertainties in the orbital parameters, thereby guiding precise orbit corrections.

[0147] In this embodiment, by accurately measuring and analyzing the time difference of signal propagation and its rate of change (time delay and delay rate), as well as the sensitivity of these parameters to changes in the probe's orbital information (partial derivatives), a refined calculation of the deep space probe's orbit is achieved. This not only helps improve the accuracy of orbit estimation but also maintains good orbit determination performance in weak signal environments, which is of great significance for subsequent deep space exploration missions, such as exploration of Jupiter, Pluto, and the edge of the solar system. By continuously monitoring the time delay and delay rate, and combining it with partial derivative matrix analysis, the probe's orbital parameters can be adjusted in real time to ensure that it flies accurately along the predetermined orbit, meeting the stringent accuracy requirements of deep space exploration missions.

[0148] To improve the accuracy of determining the velocity and position changes, the method for determining the probe orbit provided in Embodiment 1 of this application constructs an observation equation based on the measurement data and observation data at each moment. The measurement data includes at least the measured position and measured velocity of the target probe; the observation data includes observation values ​​determined by the local correlation observation model, and the observation values ​​include at least the local correlation time delay, the observed position and observed velocity of the target probe; based on the observation partial derivatives, the least squares estimation algorithm is used to solve the observation equation to obtain the velocity and position changes of the target probe at each moment.

[0149] In this embodiment of the invention, statistical orbit determination can be performed based on a unified telemetry and control system and local correlation interferometry. Specifically, the least squares estimation method is used for detector orbit determination. Least squares estimation can find estimated values ​​of detector orbit parameters and model parameters that minimize the sum of squares of the observation residuals calculated from the estimated values.

[0150] For the The observation equation for the set of measurement data can be described as:

[0151] (15);

[0152] in, This represents the i-th set of measurement data. It is a nonlinear function, representing The nonlinear function of the observed data X at time t. Indicates error.

[0153] right In reference state Linear expansion at the point yields:

[0154] (16);

[0155] in, , , G represents the calculated value. Indicates the initial time. Indicates a small quantity.

[0156] The overall observation equation can be expressed as:

[0157] (17);

[0158] Where H represents the state function and x represents the independent variable. Indicates a small quantity.

[0159] Its linear unbiased minimum variance estimate is:

[0160] (18);

[0161] in, This indicates the weighting settings for the observed data, where y represents the difference between the measured and calculated values.

[0162] The corresponding covariance matrix is:

[0163] (19);

[0164] Formula (18) can be used to improve the reference state and achieve statistical orbit determination.

[0165] here, That is, the observation partial derivative corresponding to the i-th measurement time. This is the state transition matrix, obtained through numerical integration.

[0166] Therefore, given the probe's initial orbit, station location, Earth's rotation parameters, and observed data, a least-squares improvement can be performed on the probe's orbital state. The weights of the measurement data are typically set based on the statistical results of the measurement data noise.

[0167] Lunar and deep space probes typically use UXB (Ultra-Ultra-Body-Body) systems for ranging and velocity measurements, and VLBI (Vehicle-Landed Biological) systems for time delay and delay rate determination. Ranging and velocity measurements constrain the radial direction of the probe's orbital system, while time delay and delay rate constrain the normal and track directions. Similarly, local correlation VLBI measurements, like traditional correlation measurements, cannot accurately calculate the probe's orbit relying solely on local correlation VLBI. Therefore, the probe orbit calculation strategy is shown in Table 3.

[0168] Table 3

[0169]

[0170] It should be noted that when the probe orbit is close to the celestial body, the system difference can be solved without constraints; when it is far away from the celestial body, the solution of the system difference will produce anomalies. At this time, it is necessary to use constrained solution of the system difference in order to control the solution of the measurement system difference within a reasonable range.

[0171] Specifically, the target probe's measured position and velocity at each moment can be collected first to ensure data accuracy and continuity. Local correlation delays, the target probe's observed position, and observed velocity are then integrated as additional observation data. Based on the measurement and observation data, observation equations are constructed. These equations relate the probe's dynamic parameters (such as position and velocity) to observed values ​​(such as delay and delay rate), forming a series of mathematical expressions that describe the relationship between the target probe's actual state and its measurement and observation data. Next, using the constructed observation equations and observation partial derivatives, observation matrices and partial derivative matrices are formed, ready for least-squares estimation. The least-squares estimation algorithm is applied by calculating the residuals between the observed values ​​and the model predictions, and minimizing the sum of squares of these residuals to obtain the optimal orbital parameter estimates.

[0172] In this embodiment, by constructing observation equations that integrate measurement data and indirect observation data from local correlation interferometry, and solving these equations using a least-squares estimation algorithm, a highly accurate estimate of the target probe's orbital state (including position and velocity) is achieved. This is particularly valuable for deep space exploration missions, where the additional observational information provided by local correlation interferometry becomes extremely precious under conditions of extremely weak signals. The introduction of observational partial derivatives further improves the accuracy of orbital estimation, as these derivatives reveal the subtle but crucial relationship between the observed values ​​and orbital parameters, guiding the algorithm to finely adjust the parameters. Through these steps, the orbital calculation capability is significantly enhanced, maintaining a high degree of control over the probe's state even in the deep space environment billions of kilometers away from Earth. This provides solid technical support for subsequent deep space exploration missions, including but not limited to the exploration of Jupiter, Pluto, and even the edge of the solar system.

In this way, the orbital information of the probe is continuously iterated and optimized to ensure that the probe's orbit can be accurately determined even under extremely weak signal conditions. This achieves the goal of high-precision orbit determination in the weak signal environment of deep space exploration, thereby realizing the technical effect of precise measurement and real-time updating of the probe's orbital state. This solves the technical problem that traditional orbit determination methods cannot meet the accuracy requirements of deep space exploration missions due to signal attenuation.
