7 results about "Eclipse" patented technology

An eclipse is an astronomical event that occurs when an astronomical object is temporarily obscured, either by passing into the shadow of another body or by having another body pass between it and the viewer. This alignment of three celestial objects is known as a syzygy. Apart from syzygy, the term eclipse is also used when a spacecraft reaches a position where it can observe two celestial bodies so aligned. An eclipse is the result of either an occultation (completely hidden) or a transit (partially hidden).

A method and system for evaluating stability margin of a long-range retro-orbital spacecraft

The application provides a method and system for evaluating the stability margin of a long-distance retrograde orbit spacecraft. First, the current orbit state information of the target spacecraft is obtained. Then, based on the evaluation allowed time range, evaluation time interval, speed error size range and speed error size interval, an error parameter combination set is constructed. Next, based on the current orbit state information and the error parameter combination set, the stability evaluation parameters and the eclipse evaluation parameters corresponding to the error parameter combination are determined through a high-precision ephemeris model. Second, based on the stability evaluation parameters and the eclipse evaluation parameters, the target error parameter combination is determined. Finally, the stability margin is determined based on the target error parameter combination. This method combines the characteristics of long-distance retrograde orbits, engineering application requirements and the influence of eclipses, and selects parameters through the error parameter combination set to determine the stability margin. In this way, the efficiency and accuracy of determining the stability margin of the spacecraft can be effectively improved.

The application relates to a sun-eclipse-avoiding method and system for a spaceborne laser terminal based on optical path switching and pointing maintenance, which comprises the following steps: based on satellite attitude, orbit data and laser terminal pointing data, a real-time included angle theta between a sun vector and a laser communication link vector is calculated in real time; a first protection threshold theta1 is preset, and it is judged whether physical optical path switching is started; when the real-time included angle theta is less than or equal to theta1, it is determined that it is in a sun-eclipse danger stage, and the incident optical path is switched from a communication receiver to a light shield plate area; during the optical path switching, the pointing of the laser terminal to the communication target is maintained unchanged; the real-time included angle theta is continuously monitored, and when theta is greater than theta1, the optical path is restored from the light shield plate area to the communication receiver; and after the optical path is restored, the communication link is recovered in stages based on the unchanged terminal pointing, so that the communication link is re-established. Through the cooperative mechanism of hardware optical path switching and pointing maintenance, the communication receiver is quickly protected, and the link is quickly recovered.
