Relative Cooperative Attitude and Position Control of Fractioned Spacecraft Based on Iterative Optimization ZHU Zhi-Bin, LI Guo, HE Ying-Zi, WEI Chun-Ling 2011, 31 (2):  1-8.  doi: 10.3780/j.issn-1000-758X.2011.02.001 Abstract ( 3117 )   PDF (382KB) ( 1811 )   Save In short range guidance stage, eccentric low-level continuous vector thruster and transformed torque equipment were used to maintain the close approaching and circling of specific object, and complete simultaneously orbit control and light of sight(LOS) stabilization. Relative coupling attitude and orbit dynamic model was established based on T-H equation and error quaternion. Expected relative position gaits were designed respectively for close approaching phase and circling phase. Expected attitude was computed based on LOS angles. Traditional θ-D method can only linearize dynamic equation at start point which hold limited neighbor stable area that can not cover large alteration of relative states during the process. Piecewise linearized θ-D suboptimal controller was proposed based on iterative optimal theory and utilized in relative attitude and orbit control, in which vector part of error quaternion was directly used for state feedback. Decent dimension alternation was made for coupling attitude and position state equation. Simulation results demonstrate that this method are effective. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Determination of the Ambiguity Search Space in Hybrid GPS/Galileo Navigation ZHAO Yi, GONG Cheng, DENG Ning 2011, 31 (2):  9-15.  doi: 10.3780/j.issn.1000-758X.2011.02.002 Abstract ( 4007 )   PDF (445KB) ( 2167 )   Save In order to fix the ambiguities in hybrid GPS/Galileo navigation and positioning, several conventional spacedetermining methods for least squares ambiguity decorrelation adjustment (LAMBDA) in GPS scenario were adopted in GPS/Galileo hybrid scenario. Simulation results show the conventional space-determining methods can′t meet the performance requirements for the high dimension in ambiguity vector. Compared to the conventional methods in determining LAMBDA ambiguity-search space, a new space-determining method specifically for high-dimension ambiguity vector was proposed. The simulation tests indicated that the proposed algorithm guaranteed an essential alignment of real and predefined candidate ambiguity numbers in joint  positioning mode, and hence improved the searching efficiency without scarifying success ratio in determining the phase ambiguity. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Fuel-optimal Precise Rendezvous Guidance Law in Elliptical Reference Orbit with J2 Perturbation JING Wu-Xing, CHEN Wei-Yue 2011, 31 (2):  16-24.  doi: 10.3780/j.issn.1000-758X.2011.02.003 Abstract ( 2962 )   PDF (564KB) ( 1832 )   Save For rendezvous near an elliptical reference orbit, a numerical gradient algorithm and a genetic algorithm for optimization were adopted to determine the optimal transfer time and impulses. The solutions for half-revolution and complete-revolution rendezvous were also given to eliminate the singularities. Based on the optimization algorithms, a two-impulse iteration method with linear gradient was proposed for rendezvous guidance to eliminate the impact of J2 perturbation on relative motion. The simulation results of rendezvous near reference orbit with different eccentricities show that the guidance algorithm is simple, feasible and can be used in remote rendezvous near circle and arbitrary elliptical reference orbit.

Meanwhile, its rationality was also proved through tests. The gas flow in the leak detector was changed by adjusting the inlet pressure of the leak detector. When the helium concentration in mixed gas was constant, the helium gas flow in the leak detector was also changed. So the output of the leak detector was changed. By changing the relationship between the inlet pressure and the output of the leak detector, the linear performance of the leak detector was obtained. The results show that this method is simple, convenient and inexpensive. References | Related Articles | Metrics

The thrust allocation scheme of a spacecraft was analyzed. Based on the geometric dilution of precision (GDOP) used in satellite navigation system positioning theory, the concept of thruster fuel consume factor (FCF) was proposed to express the ratio between the expect control and the fuel consumption caused by the thrusters. The matrix theoretical analysis shows that FCF decreases as the amount of the thruster increasing. References | Related Articles | Metrics

It is shown that daily change of orbit heat flux will obviously influences the temperatures of west board, +Y panel of Earth deck and +Y panel of anti-Earth deck, and further influences the temperature of service module (SM) structure board through radiation, which induces the battery temperate variation through SM board conduction. This is the key reason of battery temperature variation. References | Related Articles | Metrics
