5 results about "Elliptic orbit" patented technology

In astrodynamics or celestial mechanics, an elliptic orbit or elliptical orbit is a Kepler orbit with an eccentricity of less than 1; this includes the special case of a circular orbit, with eccentricity equal to 0. In a stricter sense, it is a Kepler orbit with the eccentricity greater than 0 and less than 1 (thus excluding the circular orbit). In a wider sense, it is a Kepler orbit with negative energy. This includes the radial elliptic orbit, with eccentricity equal to 1.

A method for controlling a tethered docking-based on-orbit servicing robot

This invention discloses a tether-based approach docking control method for an on-orbit service robot. Focusing on the approach docking process, it studies the relative dynamics and control of the tether-based on-orbit service robot. A relative dynamic equation is established for the service robot to approach a customer satellite using tether tension. The influence of the customer satellite's orbital eccentricity, orbital altitude, and the robot's tether-retrieval rate on the system's relative motion is analyzed, along with the pitch motion characteristics under constant tether length. A stable tether-retrieval control law with a constant pitch angle constraint is proposed. By designing a tether length variation law, the robot can smoothly retrieve the tether to approach the customer satellite. Numerical simulation is used to verify the tether-retrieval control law. This control method can be used on elliptical orbits with non-zero eccentricity. By maintaining a constant pitch angle through tether-retrieval control, it is beneficial for changing the system's relative motion state and stabilizing the pitch motion.

Aircraft descent arc energy planning method and apparatus

This invention provides a method and apparatus for energy planning during the descent phase of an aircraft. After the first-stage engine separates, the minimum RCS attitude of the aircraft is calculated based on its current position and the position of the target detection point. When the aircraft's flight altitude exceeds a preset altitude, its attitude is adjusted to the minimum RCS attitude, and the aircraft is controlled to fly without power. After the aircraft reaches the highest point of its orbit without power, the optimal firing time and optimal firing attitude of the second-stage engine are searched based on the aircraft's tilt angle constraints and reentry point coordinate constraints. The second-stage engine is controlled to ignite at the optimal firing time, and the aircraft's attitude is adjusted to the optimal firing attitude. This achieves the control of the second-stage engine not igniting during the ascent phase of the elliptical orbit. After the aircraft flies without power over the highest point of the elliptical orbit, it flies according to the searched optimal firing time and optimal firing attitude. After the engine is exhausted, it flies according to the attitude constrained by the reentry angle of attack, ensuring that the aircraft's orbit meets the constraints. This increases the difficulty of detection, tracking, and orbit prediction for the aircraft during the second-stage flight phase.
