1 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 spacecraft-oriented radiator design method

The application discloses a spacecraft-oriented radiator design method and system, and belongs to the technical field of spacecraft thermal control. In order to solve the problems of non-uniform area and aperture, inaccurate extreme condition identification and lack of cross-validation in the prior art, the method comprises the following steps: obtaining an orbit and a radiator parameter; calculating an orbit position, a solar vector and an eclipse; independently calculating five types of external heat flow sub-items of a solar direct radiation, an earth albedo, an earth infrared, a deep space radiation and an earth radiation on a front surface and a back surface of the radiator, and summing up to obtain a total net heat flow density; according to a solving mode, a first mode of inversely solving a radiator area with a fixed temperature constraint is executed, or a second mode of inversely solving a balance temperature with a fixed area is executed; and finally, energy closure diagnosis and sub-item conservation checking are performed. Through double-sided sub-item modeling, reciprocal solving and three-stage extreme condition searching, the application realizes the improvement of design accuracy, the reduction of calculation cost and the quantitative evaluation of model self-consistency, and is suitable for the thermal control design of various low earth orbit spacecrafts.
