Initial Orbit Determination with Space-based Angle Measurements Based on General Regularization Least Squares Estimation LIU Guang-Ming, LIAO Ying, CHEN Zhong-Gui 2010, 30 (04):  1-8.  Abstract ( 2919 )   Save The main deficiencies of the traditional initial orbit determination with space-based angle measurements are due to that the systematic error observation data and the coefficient matrix is ill-posed or singular. Based on the analyses,the semi-parametric regression model of observation equations was established. The general regularization least squares estimation method based on penalized least squares estimation and ridge estimation was deduced,and the correlative characteristics of the method was proved. To improve the calculating efficiency,the column pivot element Givens-QR decomposition algorithm was introduced. Experimental computation indicates that the method is effective in achieving a satisfying result. Related Articles | Metrics

The optimal sensor-target geometrical localization and topological characteristics were studied with three types of measurements including range-only,time of arrival,bearing-only. The results show that the sensor-target geometrical topology with optimal localization performance can be implemented by analyzing the sensor-target geometrical characteristics. And the optimal geometrical topology is usually not exclusive. Considerable research foundation was provided for understanding the essence of localization,tracking and navigation for wireless multisensor by intrinsic geometrical topology.

Genetic Arithmetic Based Dynamic Channel Allocation Algorithm for SOFDM System in Satellite Multimedia Broadcastings Yang Tong (China Academy of Space Technology,Beijing 100094) 2010, 30 (04):  23-30+70.  Abstract ( 2719 )   Save The satellite orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (SOFDM) system is usually considered as an enormous amount of sub-carriers and large-scaled system architecture,as well as complicated channel transmitting characteristics,which makes some traditional dynamic channel resource allocation methods inefficient and induces to much power loss,such as the fixed group classification means. An improved method was proposed,which was designed to allot frequency and power resources via the genetic arithmetic with the survival of the fittest principle. The experimental results demonstrate that it can assign the sub-carriers and power in a more reasonably manner. Although its computational complex is equivalent in comparison with the genetic method,this novel means is able to save the system power almost 1dB,so as to remarkably spare the system resources and also improve the system package error rate (PER) performance.

Modulation Transfer Function Compensation Technology of Optical Remote Sensing Imaging System Zeng Yong1 Chen Shiping2 Yu Jin1 (1 China Center for Resources Satellite Data and Application,Beijing 100094) (2 China Academy of Space Technology,Beijing 100081) 2010, 30 (04):  38-43.  Abstract ( 4428 )   Save Modulation transfer function compensation (MTFC) is very important for optical remote sensing imaging system to promote image quality and optimize the imaging system modulation transfer function (MTF). Based on inverse filtering and Wiener filtering,the MTFC technology was studied and improved according to CBERS imaging system characteristics. The optimal design of MTFC was done from MTFC curve shape as follows:the middle frequency MTF was enhanced remarkably,and the high frequency part was enhanced moderately. It not only improved the image definition,but also controlled the noise involved. Compromise has been found between the image definition and noise for this technology. CBERS-02B HR imaging system is taken as an example,the result shows that MTFC can improve the image quality obviously,and at the same time,it increases some noises. Several suggestions are given to the applicability of MTFC finally. Related Articles | Metrics

Axial Flexible Vibration Characteristics of High Speed Spoked Rotors in Inertia Actuator Deng Ruiqing1,3 Hu Gang2 Wang Quanwu1 (1 Beijing Institute of Control Engineering,Beijing 100190) (2 China Academy of Space Technology,Beijing 100094) (3 National Laboratory of Space Intelligent Control,Beijing 100190) 2010, 30 (04):  44-51.  Abstract ( 2882 )   Save The disturbances generated from axial flexible vibration of the high speed rotor of the inertia actuator will have a bad effect on the precision and the stability of the spacecrate attitude control. The model of the flexible vibration must be set up to decrease the disturbances of the high speed rotor. The spoke of the rotor can be regarded as the cantilever beam with a fixed end and a lumped mass end. Thus the model of the flexible vibration was obtained,and the characteristics of the flexible vibration of the rotor were analyzed. The results show that the violent flexible vibration will happen if the motivation frequency equals to the natural frequency of the rotor. Moreover,the energy method can be used to increase the precision of the model. Related Articles | Metrics

The stability of the condensing interface was studied by introducing a small disturbance into capillary height. The dynamics performances of the condensing interface under three different operating conditions were discussed. The results show that there is avibration with a certain amplitude on the condensing interface due to the periodic oscillation of the pressure in the system. Related Articles | Metrics

Numerical Simulation on the Damage of Front Side of Gas-filled Pressure Vessels due to Hypervelocity Impact Pang Baojun Gai Fangfang Guan Gongshun (Hypervelocity Impact Research Center,Harbin Institute of Technology,Harbin 150080) 2010, 30 (04):  76-82.  Abstract ( 2681 )   Save The Lagrange methods in AUTODYN-2D were used to investigate the perforation of the front side of gas-filled pressure vessels. The static stress wall resulting from the inner pressure was simulated by applying a stress boundary along the inner wall. A better correlation between experimental and numerical results was obtained. The numerical simulation was performed to analyze the effects of the projectile diameter,the impact velocity and gas pressure on the perforation of the front wall. The simulation result shows that the effect of gas pressure on the perforation can be neglected. While impact velocity is higher than 3.0 km/s,some micro-crack are initiated at the edge of the circular hole in the vessel wall. Both hole diameter and crack diameter are increased with an increase of the impact velocity and projectile diameters. The critical stress curves with different impact parameters were obtained. While impact velocity is higher than 3.0 km/s,cracks and hole in the vessel walls will lead to a catastrophic failure of vessels. Related Articles | Metrics
