This paper breaks the traditional divide and conquer idea, and uses a mathematical tool, namely dual quaternion to establish the integrated 6 degree-of-freedom(6-DOF) model of relative position and attitude, which describes the coupled relative motion in a compact and efficient form and needs less information of the target. Considering the complex operation rules and the unclarity of the current relative motion model in dual quaternion, necessary mathematical foundations are given at first, followed by clear and detailed modeling process and analysis. Finally a generalized proportion-derivative(PD) controller law is designed. The simulation results show that based on the integrated model established by dual quaternion, this control law can achieve a high control accuracy of relative motion.展开更多

Firstly, starting from the dynamic equation of the relative motion of particles, we give the Gauss principle of relative motion dynamics. By constructing a compulsion function of relative motion, we prove that at any instant, its real motion minimizes the compulsion function under Gaussian variation, compared with the possible motions with the same configuration and velocity but different accelerations. Secondly, the formula of acceleration energy and the formula of compulsion function for relative motion are derived because the carried body is rigid and moving in a plane. Thirdly, the Gauss principle we obtained is expressed as Appell, Lagrange, and Nielsen forms in generalized coordinates. Utilizing Gauss principle, the dynamical equations of relative motion are established. Finally, two relative motion examples also verify the results' correctness.展开更多

This question is inspired by space-advertising, a public exhibition in the night sky using a dot matrix of satellites that are bright enough to be seen by the naked eye. Thus, it is important for space advertisement that the specific dot matrix is seen. Moreover, the stability of the dot matrix during a visible span is very valuable. To stabilize the dot matrix, this study formulates an apparent position of a dot from a representative dot seen from the ground. The formulation, linear functions of a set of relative orbital elements, reveals the appearance of the dot matrix. The proposed relative variable in the formulation drives the instability of the dot matrix, thereby revealing an initial stable configuration of deputies from a chief. The arbitrary dot matrix designed using the configuration is stable even at low elevations without orbital control during the visible span.展开更多

The theory of the research was mainly based on Clohessy-Wiltshire' s (C-W's) equations, which describe the relative motion between two satellites. But according to some special examples and qualitative analysis , neither the initial parameters nor the period of the solution of C-W' s equations accord with the actual situation, and the conservation of energy is no longer held. A new method developed from orbital element description of single satellite , named relative orbital element method ( ROEM) , was introduced. This new method, with clear physics conception and wide application range, overcomes the limitation of C-W s equation , and the periodic solution is a natural conclusion. The simplified equation of the relative motion is obtained when the eccentricity of the main satellite is small. Finally, the results of the two methods (C-W' s equation and ROEM) are compared and the limitations of C-W s equations are pointed out and explained.展开更多

Unlike the traditional rigid-body dynamics with translation and rotation about the center of mass(CM), the kinematic coupling between translation and rotation is taken into consideration to directly describe the motion of the spacecraft's sensors or devices which are not coincident with the CM. Thus, a kinematically coupled 6 degrees-of-freedom(DOF) relative motion model for the instrument(feature point) is set up. To make the chaser spacecraft's feature point track the target's, an optimal tracking problem is defined and a control law with a feedback-feedforward structure is designed. With quasi-linearization of the nonlinear dynamical system, the feedforward term is computed from a specified constraint about the dynamical system and the reference model, and the feedback action is derived starting from the state-dependent Ricca equation(SDRE). The proposed controller is compared with an existing suboptimal tracking controller, and numerical simulations are presented to illustrate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method.展开更多

Steering the nozzle to track the estimated center of mass (ECM) of OTV can reduce but not remove the disturbance due to the difference between the ECM and the practical mass center (PCM) of OTV. The practical propelling direction will change with the internal motion during the propulsion process and attitude control system should be enabled to guarantee that the propelling direction is collinear with the command. Since the structural parameters have changed,which is due to internal motion and fuel consumption,the dynamic model have to be formulated to determine these time-varying parameters and the required attitude of OTV should be determined as well. Modulating attitude quaternion results in quasi Euler angles. Based on the resulting quasi Euler angles,a novel attitude switching control law is introduced to control the variable-mass OTV. Simulation results show that,even in the case of structural asymmetry,control torque matrix asymmetry,attitude disturbance and strong coupling between the channels,the attitude of OTV can be controlled perfectly,and the proposed attitude control law is effective for the variable-mass OTV with swing thruster.展开更多

This new method, with clear physics conception and wide application range, overcomes the limitation of C-W s equation , and the periodic solution is a natural conclusion. The simplified equation of the relative motion is obtained when the eccentricity of the main satellite is small. Finally, the results of the two methods (C-W' s equation and ROEM) are compared and the limitations of C-W s equations are pointed out and explained.

文摘We investigate the close-range relative motion and control of a spacecraft approaching a tumbling target. Unlike the traditional rigid-body dynamics with translation and rotation about the center of mass(CM), the kinematic coupling between translation and rotation is taken into consideration to directly describe the motion of the spacecraft's sensors or devices which are not coincident with the CM. Thus, a kinematically coupled 6 degrees-of-freedom(DOF) relative motion model for the instrument(feature point) is set up. To make the chaser spacecraft's feature point track the target's, an optimal tracking problem is defined and a control law with a feedback-feedforward structure is designed. With quasi-linearization of the nonlinear dynamical system, the feedforward term is computed from a specified constraint about the dynamical system and the reference model, and the feedback action is derived starting from the state-dependent Ricca equation(SDRE). The proposed controller is compared with an existing suboptimal tracking controller, and numerical simulations are presented to illustrate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method.
文摘As for orbit transfer vehicle (OTV) with multiple satellites/payloads carried,the release of each payload will bring serious change to the mass center of OTV and the thrust produced by the swing thruster will form a rather large disturbance to the attitude of OTV. Steering the nozzle to track the estimated center of mass (ECM) of OTV can reduce but not remove the disturbance due to the difference between the ECM and the practical mass center (PCM) of OTV. The practical propelling direction will change with the internal motion during the propulsion process and attitude control system should be enabled to guarantee that the propelling direction is collinear with the command. Since the structural parameters have changed,which is due to internal motion and fuel consumption,the dynamic model have to be formulated to determine these time-varying parameters and the required attitude of OTV should be determined as well. Modulating attitude quaternion results in quasi Euler angles. Based on the resulting quasi Euler angles,a novel attitude switching control law is introduced to control the variable-mass OTV. Simulation results show that,even in the case of structural asymmetry,control torque matrix asymmetry,attitude disturbance and strong coupling between the channels,the attitude of OTV can be controlled perfectly,and the proposed attitude control law is effective for the variable-mass OTV with swing thruster.
