The invention discloses a
thermal control method and device for improving the performance of a
lunar orbit laser corner reflector, and belongs to the technical field of space flight and
aviation. The method comprises the following steps: in a non-test stage, analyzing illuminated and thermal environment data of the
corner reflector in a
lunar orbit, and designing heat dissipation and heat insulation measures, so that the
corner reflector is in a low-temperature storage stage; in the
test preparation stage, heating belts are started for preheating,
temperature measurement data of all areas of the corner reflector are collected, and the duty ratio of all the heating belts is independently adjusted in combination with a novel PID
temperature control algorithm and an external
heat flow prediction model; in the test process, the heating belt is started, all areas of the corner reflector are monitored and adjusted in real time, and when temperature deviation occurs, the duty ratio of the heating belt is adjusted through a novel PID
temperature control algorithm and an external
heat flow prediction model; and after the test is completed, the corner reflector enters the low-temperature storage stage again. According to the invention, high precision and high reliability of the
laser corner reflector on the
lunar orbit can be ensured, and the success probability of
laser ranging on the lunar
orbit spacecraft corner reflector by the ground is improved.
