Orbit design method of near-lunar space constellation CHEN Shiyu, NI Yanshuo, PENG Jing Chinese Space Science and Technology    2024, 44 (3): 15-29.   DOI: 10.16708/j.cnki.1000-758X.2024.0035 Abstract （2294）      PDF（pc） （9757KB）（2676）       Knowledge map     According to the requirements of relay communication and lunar navigation for future lunar exploration missions，an orbit design method of near-moon space constellation is proposed.First，the indexes of constellation design in relay communication，lunar navigation，cost for deployment and maintenance are sorted out，and analytic hierarchy process is applied to determine the weights of the indexes so that a comprehensive evaluation index can be proposed.The properties of various types of orbits are analyzed with full consideration of orbit resources near the moon，and the orbit types suitable for constellation deployment are initially screened.A construction route of the near-moon space constellation is proposed，where 100% quadruple cover for the whole moon is gradually realized in three stages.The constellation configurations in the three stages are designed successively.For each stage，different configurations are compared and the one with the best comprehensive evaluation index is selected.Based on the above method，the construction scheme of the constellation in near-moon space is obtained.In the first stage，2 satellites are deployed in elliptical lunar frozen orbit（ELFO）to provide full-time earth relay communication for the south pole region of the moon.In the second stage，6 ELFO satellites，2 near rectilinear halo orbit（NRHO）satellites，and 1 L2 halo orbit satellite are deployed to provide full-time navigation for the south pole region and fulltime earth communication for the entire lunar surface.In the third stage，4 ELFO satellites，2 NRHO satellites，1 L1 halo orbit satellite，and 3 distant retrograde orbit satellites are deployed to provide full-time navigation for the entire lunar surface.For any position in the whole lunar surface，the geometric dilution of precision of the designed constellation keeps below 5 in at least 72% of the time，leading to a long-term high-precision navigation for the whole lunar surface.Compared with the existing literature，the proposed design method of the near-lunar space constellation considers more orbit types，more comprehensive constellation performance indexes，and innovatively puts forward a phased construction scheme of the near-lunar space constellation.

Matching design of trajectory with Chang′e-6 mission and flighting pratice of Queqiao-2 satellite ZHOU Wenyan, GAO Boyu, DONG Tianshan, LIU Decheng, SUN Ji, ZHANG Lihua Chinese Space Science and Technology    2024, 44 (6): 16-22.   DOI: 10.16708/j.cnki.1000-758X.2024.0087 Abstract （802）      PDF（pc） （2897KB）（369）       Knowledge map    Queqiao-2 provides relay services in its overall life cycle for Chang′e-6, Chang′e-7, Chang′e-8, and Chang′e-4 missions, as well as lunar exploration missions from international cooperation. To meet the different relay needs of multiple launch windows and different flight phases of Chang′e-6 mission, the trajectory design method and process of the Queqiao-2 relay satellite to service the Chang′e-6 mission are introduced from the perspective of mission analysis. The adoption of a lunar elliptical sun-synchronous frozen orbit satisfies the requirements for communication range, coverage, launch windows, and orbital phase for the Chang′e-6 mission. Then the trajectory scheme and the control strategy adopted on each flight phase are optimized with minimum fuel constraint. A four-impulse joint optimization trajectory control strategy is employed to significantly alter the orbital ascending node, inclination and argument of perilune with few velocity increments. Finally, the status of the in-orbit flight and relay support for Chang′e-6 mission are shown respectively. For the first time internationally, Queqiao-2 has achieved a significant change of right ascension of the ascending node in lunar orbit by using a lunar low energy capture orbit, and close range and long arc relay of target on the far side of the moon by using the lunar large elliptical sun-synchronous and frozen orbit. The result shows that the in-orbit flight of Queqiao-2 is consistent with that of the design, which ensures the successful implementation of the Chang′e-6 lunar far-side sampling and return mission. The design method can provide a reference for the orbit design of deep space exploration missions. Related Articles | Metrics

Research on lunar base based on cave LI Linling, LIU Jingang, HOU Yukui, LIU Wei, LI Mingfu, YIN Shuohui, WANG Lei, XU Mengchuan, Peng Jing, SUN Zezhou Chinese Space Science and Technology    2025, 45 (3): 9-18.   DOI: 10.16708/j.cnki.1000-758X.2025.0034 Abstract （706）      PDF（pc） （7961KB）（580）       Knowledge map    The relevant policies， plans and specific projects of cave lunar bases at home and abroad were investigated systematically， with a focus on the comparative analysis of the existing gaps in research achievements. Based on the image information of lunar exploration at home and abroad and the research results of cave lunar base concept， the feasibility concept of cave lunar construction has been sorted out. Based on the unique advantages of the cave (such as suitable temperature， low radiation， less lunar dust， etc.) and the objective conditions of the difficulty of building a lunar base， a qualitative analysis was conducted on various concepts of cavebased lunar bases. Each type of lunar base configuration shows unique advantages： the cavebased lunar base based on the transformation of craters makes full use of the natural terrain on the lunar surface， combines the natural structural characteristics and artificial transformation requirements， and has significant advantages insitu resource utilization. Whether it is an unmanned or manned cave lunar base， it will go through four key strategic stages： lunar exploration， lunar address selection， lunar base construction and lunar base application. Although a large number of lunar images have been obtained through the launched lunar orbit probe， lunar surface probe and other exploration means， the current lunar surface exploration capabilities still need to be further improved to provide stronger support for the "site selection" work of the construction of the cave lunar base. At the same time， it is urgent to accelerate the development of key equipment for the construction of lunar bases as soon as possible， provide implementation tools for the construction of unmanned lunar bases， implement the "foundation" task of the cave lunar base， and realize the strategic goal of "cave utilization" of the cave lunar base as soon as possible.

Chang′e-6 mission planning leveraging geometry approach MENG Zhanfeng, GAO Shan, ZHAO Qiao, ZHANG Xiangyu Chinese Space Science and Technology    2024, 44 (6): 1-15.   DOI: 10.16708/j.cnki.1000-758X.2024.0086 Abstract （687）      PDF（pc） （15016KB）（551）       Knowledge map    The Chang′e-6 mission is the first lunar far-side sampling return mission in the world. The mission planning is an important assignment in the spacecraft system design. Mission planning problem is conventionally converted to the numerical constraints optimization problem in the traditional method. However, by using this method, the constraints could not be satisfied directly, and at the same time, the design variables dimension increased, the computing efficiency decreased, and the physical meaning was not apparent. A new mission planning approach using the mission geometry is proposed in this paper. According to the new approach, the periapsis constraints of the Earth-to-Moon and Moon-to-Earth transfer trajectories, the relative geometry constraints on sampling point and lunar orbit plane, and the geometry relationship of the Sun-Earth-Moon are fully considered. The new approach reduced the design variables dimension, improved the computing efficiency. In addition, it also has the advantage of intuitive spatial geometric interpretation, and the result can be verified easily. The new approach has been applied to mission planning and trajectory design in the Chang′e-5 and Chang′e-6 missions successfully, and will be adopted in the future lunar exploration mission.

Detecting satellite unknown fault patterns using digital twin and machine learning SHEN Yinglong, CAI Junliang, LIN Jiawei, YANG Fan Chinese Space Science and Technology    2025, 45 (1): 46-58.   DOI: 10.16708/j.cnki.1000-758X.2025.0005 Abstract （548）      PDF（pc） （5406KB）（304）       Knowledge map    Traditional satellite fault diagnosis methods and existing data-driven diagnosis methods both face challenges in identifying unknown faults that differ from known fault types,resulting in lower reliability and safety．To address the problem,a fault diagnosis and unknown fault detection method based on satellite digital twin and machine learning models is proposed．Firstly,various types of fault-simulated data are generated using satellite digital twin,and the fidelity of digital twin data are validated using XGBoost and real satellite fault samples, achieving the diagnosis of known fault types．On this basis,considering that existing methods cannot identify the occurrence of unknown fault types precisely,an out-of-distribution detection model Con-DAGMM is proposed,which is trained on normal data and known fault data to provide warnings for unknown fault．Experiments are conducted using digital twin data and satellite real fault data．The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves high fault diagnosis accuracy with an average accuracy of 98.8% on the test data．Furthermore,Con-DAGMM achieve high-performance unknown fault detection,outperforming Deep-SVDD and other comparison methods in precision,recall and F1 scores．The results indicate that satellite digital twin can overcome the scarcity of fault samples in satellite historical data,and the out-of-distribution detection approach can be successfully applied to warning of satellite unknown faults,enhancing the satellite's safety and reliability． Related Articles | Metrics
