Method for designing bias orbit of spacecraft in halo orbit in sun-earth three-body gravitational field
ActiveCN106202640AGuaranteed accuracyReduce consumptionSpecial data processing applicationsElectricityMassive gravity
The invention discloses a method for designing a bias orbit of a spacecraft in a halo orbit in a sun-earth three-body gravitational field. The invention proposes a semi-analytic-solution-based orbit design method for a task demand of thrusting the spacecraft in the halo orbit to a heliocentric grave orbit by adopting a small thrust force in the sun-earth three-body gravitational field. According to the method, the calculation amount can be greatly reduced while the orbit precision is ensured. In addition, the invention proposes a method for realizing orbit maneuvering by adopting a minute continuous thrust system which mixes a variable reflectivity solar sail with electric propulsion. The method for realizing the orbit maneuvering by a mixed thrust force is capable of greatly reducing fuel consumption. The purpose of orbit maneuvering with minimum fuel consumption is achieved through optimization design of a posture angle of the solar sail. Compared with a conventional pulse bias orbit design method, the method proposed by the invention has the advantages that the calculation time can be shortened to a great extent on the premise of ensuring the solving precision.
