    Abstract ( 2298 )   Save
    The transfer mechanism of satellite single-phase fluid loop thermal control system was analyzed and simplified.A transient thermal model including thermal modules model, controlled-object model,and control system model was developed.Aiming at the reduction of the temperature dynamic deviation caused by the larger inertia of satellite single-phase fluid loop,the heat load was taken as a feed forward control disturbance signal of satellite single-phase fluid loop on the basis of current PID control.Simulation results indicate that the feed forward PID control strategy has less disadvantage and better performance.The results can also instruct the engineering design.

    Abstract ( 2008 )   Save
    The broadcast ephemeris parameters for GPS have the characters of less parameters, unambiguous physical significance and high precision.It may be used in hybrid-constellation satellite navigation system which includes different kinds of satellites,for example,MEO satellites, IGSO satellites and GEO satellites.The accuracy of broadcast ephemeris for above different kinds of satellite orbits using the broadcast ephemeris parameters for GPS was analyzed.The variety law of the fitting result for broadcast ephemeris parameters within an orbit period of satellite was com- pared too.The simulation result shows that the fitting errors of broadcast ephemeris for MEO, IGSO and GEO are less than decimeters.It also shows that the variety laws of the fitting result of broadcast ephemeris for MEO and IGSO satellites are similar to each other and are different to GEO satellites.

    Abstract ( 2678 )   Save
    The application of direct optimization method (direct collocation method & nonlinear programming (NLP)) to lunar probe soft landing trajectory optimization was introduced.Firstly, the model of trajectory optimization control problem to lunar probe soft landing trajectory was established and the equations of motion were simplified respectively based on some reasonable hypotheses.Performance was selected to minimize the fuel consumption.The control variables were thrust attack angle and thrust of engine.Terminal state variable constraints were velocity and altitude constraints.Then,the optimal control problem was transformed into nonlinear programming problem using direct collocation method.The state variables and control variables were selected as optimal parameters at all nodes and collocation nodes.Parameter optimization problem was solved using the SNOPT software package.The simulation results demonstrate that the direct collocation method is not sensitive to lunar soft landing initial conditions;they also show that the optimal solutions of trajectory optimization problem are fairly good in real-time.Therefore, the direct collocation method is a viable approach to lunar probe soft landing trajectory optimization problem.

    Abstract ( 2092 )   Save
    Researches on the dynamic and control for the flexible spacecraft usually use the modal of the flexible appendages.In order to achieve precision attitude of the spacecraft,the vibration of the flexible appendages need to be suppressed.This problem can be solved effectively with piezoelectric sensor/actuator.The finite element modeling of the solar array with piezoelectric sensor/actuator was presented.The mathematical model was based on the first order shear deformation (FSDT).The dynamic models included the mechanical-electrical coupling effect and axial load in the 3-D beam elements.The shear locking problem was solved by assuming a shear strain field.The results of the modal analysis show that the dynamic characteristics changes with the different distribution of piezoelectric sensor/actuator.The axial load in the tripod of the solar array can increase the swaying frequency largely.The piezoelectric actuators applied voltages can enhance the structural damp of the solar array.
