    Abstract ( 1867 )   Save
    In order to meet the requirements of EVA (Extra-Vehicular-Activity)and RVD (RendzVous and Docking) of manned space vehicles, it is necessary to develop a hatch mechanism with high reliability and good seal performance which can be operated by both electromotion and manual. Based on analyses of the hatch characteristics of manned space vehicles, a new design project for the electric latching mechanism of the hatch is put forward. The switch mechanism used to transfer the modes of electric/manual operation is designed, which make the manual mode separate from electromotion. By software Pro/E, the models of hatch mechanism parts are constructed and assembled. Kinematic simulation on the hatch mechanism is carried out with software ADAMS. The simulation results show that the new electric/manual hatch can realize its motion correctly and has the advantage of simple structure, little resistance force and high transmission efficiency.

    Abstract ( 1990 )   Save
    The orbit determination difference between space target and controllable vehicle are compared and analyzed, the solar wing orientation mode and it′s influence to orbit is discussed. The Fourier transform of distance from space target to center of earth is chosen as key parameter if the earth station orbit measure data is limited on distance, azimuth and elevation.

    Abstract ( 1953 )   Save
    Evaporator maybe deprimes when a Capillary Pumped Loop (CPL) is operating, which affects its reliability greatly. Deprime of evaporator may result from many factors which are analyzed in this paper. Moreover, a multiple loop coupling CPL experiment system is developed and tests are conducted to observe transient responses and deprime procedures of the system when some thermal boundary conditions change.

    Abstract ( 2028 )   Save
    The process of escape and sucedent emergency separation of spacecraft modules when spacecraft rising besides aerosphere is a complex process of multi-body relative motion. The mathematic models of relative trajectory motion and attitude motion for that process, including dynamic, kinematic and geometric equations, are constructed. The combinatorial objects are defined, the relation between subject and object is emphasized, and the flight phase according to practical situation is partitioned. On the base of mathematic model, body definition and phase partition, a large-scale software to analyze and simulate is established. Some result samples of typical condition are given.

    Abstract ( 1814 )   Save
    The control strategy for the final translation of space rendezvous is investigated in this paper. A main aim is keeping the target vehicle in the view field of RLS. The attitude angle and the relative position coordinations of the chaser are taken as controlled variables. The lateral boundary is set according to the limited value of the azimuth angle and elevation angle of the target as well as the attitude of the chaser. The velocity increments of control maneuvers are divided into several levels.

    Study on Coverage Characteristic of Data Transmission Antenna of LEO Satellite
    Zhang Zhengguang Ye Yunshang (China Academy of Space Technology, Beijing 100094)
    2005, 25 (04):  39-46. 
    Abstract ( 1875 )   Save
    For earth observation satellites with sun-synchronous, circular orbit and three-axis stabilization attitude, we have studied the wireless link characteristic of data transmission and coverage performance of antenna using J2 orbit model and coordinate transformation. The results show that on the elevation plane the antenna beam should be earth-matched to compensate the space loss and maintain the uniformity of received level of ground station. On the conical surface of the maximum angle, the distribution of actual antenna beam pointing is not uniform. The distribution of beam pointing ,when the satellite is entering or leaving the earth station's tracking range, is maximum along the flight direction of the satellite, and minimum in the direction perpendicular to the flight direction. So, combination of optimal beam design based on coverage statistics with proper antennas arrangement on-board, better coverage and higher quality of data link could be achieved.

    2005, 25 (04):  47-53. 
    Abstract ( 2001 )   Save
    The traffic and topology adaptive routing algorithm conbined with topology structure and operating rules is proposed in this paper, which can increase the throughput of the system. Also, due to the dynamic topology of LEO system, the connection may be interrupted because of handover failure. In order to minimize the handover failure probability, dynamic channel reservation strategies are also taken into account at the same time. The simulation results show that the system performance can be improved as a result of dynamic channel reservation for handover calls.

    Abstract ( 1837 )   Save
    In the system of relative position and attitude determination based on wireless technology, the relative states autonomous determination of three satellites formation is studied. Using parameter adjustment, matrix is singular to working precision because observation geometry is very weak. In order to resolve this problem, a new method based on weighted partial parameters adjustment to get relative position and attitude information is gived. Firstly, the system model is built. Then weighted partial parameters adjustment compares with parameter adjustment. Lastly, the result of simulation is analyzed. The results show that the relative states of three satellites formation are autonomously determinate through using the method based on weighted partial parameters adjustment.

    Abstract ( 1984 )   Save
    Based on analyzing the coefficient characteristic of inter wavelet transformed, the 3D SPECK compression of multispectral image is put forward. In the method the zero-tree coding of compression of wavelet transform is extended to the compression of multispectral image. Integer wavelet transform is applied to reduce spatial decorrelation, and DCT is applied to reduce the inter-band correlation. 3D SPECK is used in processing transformed wavelet coefficient. The results of experiment indicate that hardware is easier to realize, the time of coding and decoding is less, and the requirement of EMS memory is fewer.
