小卫星编队在轨释放方案优化设计

Optimization on On-orbit Release of Small Satellite Formation Flying

随着空间站等大型航天器的发展,小卫星在轨释放技术的应用也越来越广泛。提出了一种小卫星在轨释放后与母星形成预定编队的方案。首先在二体假设下,基于Hill方程设计了小卫星的释放速度及其在常推力条件下的机动方案,使之与母星形成空间圆或水平圆等编队构形。其次,在燃料最优的原则下对设计方案作了进一步的优化,并分析了摄动因素的影响。最后应用数值方法验证了方案设计的正确性。论文提出的方案工程上易于实现,可为我国小卫星编队技术提供一定的参考。

With the rapid development of large spacecrafts such as spaceship and space shuttle,the technology of releasing small satellites into orbits through these large spacecrafts are broadly used.A new project was presented in this paper through which the small satellites could form the specific relative formation with the main one after released on-orbit.Firstly,in the suppose of two-body,the releasing velocity and the constant maneuver forces were designed.Then,optimization on fuel was analyzed,and so did the e...
