Description

Method and system for determining projection area of spacecraft with complex appearance
Technical Field
The invention relates to a method and a system for determining the projection area of a spacecraft with a complex appearance, and belongs to the technical field of aerodynamic characteristic design and attitude orbit control of aircrafts.
Background
In recent years, due to the requirement of accurate measurement of gravity field and steady-state ocean circulation, the ultra-low earth orbit (200- & lt 500km) spacecraft gradually shows wide application prospect, however, the prerequisite for realizing accurate measurement of gravity gradient is accurate calculation of aerodynamic resistance of low-orbit satellites. The aerodynamic drag is mainly determined by the local atmospheric density, the drag coefficient and the projected area of the satellite along the motion direction. The local atmospheric density is generally given by an atmospheric model, the aerodynamic resistance coefficient can be consulted with a database, and the problem to be solved is to calculate the projection area of the aerodynamic resistance coefficient along the movement direction.
Recently, solar sail detectors have shown great potential in the field of deep space exploration because they take advantage of the sunlight pressure to gain impetus and do not need to carry large quantities of propellant. Although the solar light pressure is small, continuous acceleration allows the detector to reach a considerable speed, eventually 5-10 times the speed of a conventional spacecraft. The attitude and trajectory control system of the solar sail detector requires the input of solar pressure, which is related to the solar flux, solar sail surface reflectivity, and projected area along the direction of the light. The solar flux is a physical constant, the reflectivity is a material attribute, the solar flux can be obtained by consulting a relevant manual or experimental measurement, and the calculation of the sunlight pressure is summarized as the calculation of the projection area of the solar sail along the light direction.
In addition, an important part in the design and risk assessment of a spacecraft protection system is the estimation of the collision probability of the micrometeoroid or space debris and spacecraft components, and the premise is to provide the projection area of the spacecraft and each component thereof in a given threat attack direction. Meanwhile, the projection area of the satellite in a certain direction is more directly a necessary input parameter for attitude control, for example, a Sun-aiming (Sun-pointing) attitude mode needs to input the projection area of the satellite in the sunlight direction, and a minimum-drag or maximum-drag attitude mode needs to identify and calculate the minimum or maximum projection area of the satellite.
The method for generating the projection of the geometric entity along a certain direction is called as an occlusion algorithm in the field of computer graphics, is an intuitive numerical method for calculating the projection area of the geometric entity, and is continuously researched and perfected so far. Currently, the projection algorithms widely used in computer graphics are ray casting and ray tracing methods: the light projection method calculates the intersection point of the light emitted from the light source and the surface of the geometric solid, identifies a visible surface (a non-visible surface is a backlight surface) through the minimum distance, and then projects the visible surface by adopting a polygon projection algorithm to generate a projected image of the geometric solid; the ray tracing method considers the effects of ray scattering and reflection on the basis of a ray projection method.
However, no matter the calculation of the atmospheric resistance of the low orbit satellite and the light pressure of the solar sail detector, the protection design and risk assessment of the spacecraft and the attitude control of the spacecraft, the input of the projection area of the spacecraft (component) is only needed, and obviously, the time and the labor are consumed by generating a projection image by a computer graphics method and then calculating the projection area. Foreign researchers develop an analytic method for calculating the projection area of the spacecraft in any direction based on the convex polygon theory. Because each process is realized in the form of analytic solution, the method has high calculation efficiency. However, after the spacecraft with a complex shape performs polygon discretization, the projected polygons of the spacecraft are inevitably intersected pairwise or even three or more polygons are intersected simultaneously, so that the calculation of the intersected area of the projected polygons is extremely difficult or even impossible. Moreover, the nature of the analysis results in poor robustness and versatility, and in some extreme cases, the rounding errors inherent in computers can lead to erroneous computation results. The more complex the spacecraft profile, the greater the likelihood of extreme conditions. Therefore, the analysis method is highly efficient, but is difficult to be applied to space engineering practice.

and the origin of coordinates of the body coordinate system B is positioned at the mass center O, X, Y of the spacecraft, and the Z axis is coincided with the inertia main shaft of the spacecraft. The origin of the projection coordinate system P is also positioned at the centroid O of the spacecraft, and the z axis of the projection coordinate system P is coincident with the projection direction, namely the projection direction is Oz axisLet the projection of Oz on the plane be OzPOy lies in the XOY plane and is perpendicular to OzPOx is determined by the right-hand rule,
as shown in fig. 2. The inclination angle of the Oz and XOY planes is defined as declination delta in the range of delta E [ -pi/2, using the terminology of spacecraft orbital mechanics or astronomy],OzPThe angle to OX is defined as the right ascension alpha, which ranges from alpha e [0,2 pi ]. Unless otherwise specified, the coordinates or vectors in the following are quantities in the projected coordinate system P.
(2) And constructing a cuboid box just surrounding the outer surface of the spacecraft, wherein 3 mutually vertical edges of the cuboid are respectively parallel to the x axis, the y axis and the z axis of the projection coordinate system. Generally, the surface of a spacecraft with a complex shape is dispersed by triangular units, the number of the triangular units on the surface is N, and the coordinates of unit nodes in a projection coordinate system are (x)i,yi,zi),i∈[1,N]Then 6 faces of the rectangular parallelepiped case are defined by the following formula

Figure BDA0001457965280000083
R1、R2Are random numbers uniformly distributed in the interval of (0, 1).
(5) Judging whether the motion trail of the test particle ray intersects with the triangular unit on the surface of the spacecraft: if not, directly turning to the step (6); if so, the number Q of the intersected test particles is incremented by 1, and then the step (6) is continuously executed. The initial value of Q is 0; the specific implementation process is as follows:
and (5.1) calculating the motion trail of the test particle ray. According to the initial position coordinates r of the test particles0(x0,y0,z0) And projection direction, easily obtained as a parametric equation
Figure BDA0001457965280000084
And (5.2) calculating an equation of the plane where the triangular unit is located. Let the coordinate of any vertex of triangle ABC be (x)1,y1,z1) The surface normal vector is n ═ n (n)1,n2,n3) Then the equation of the plane in which it is located is

And if the intersection point P is inside the triangle ABC, the ray motion trail of the test particle is intersected with the triangle unit on the surface of the spacecraft, otherwise, the intersection point is outside the triangle ABC, and the ray motion trail is not intersected with the triangle unit.
(6) And (4) judging whether the total number of the generated and tracked test particles is less than a preset value, if so, turning to the step (4), otherwise, continuing to execute the step (7).
The number of generally tracked test particles is 10 or more6At that time, the projected area starts to be counted. The statistical error and the calculation time are comprehensively considered and can be 106~108An internal value.
(7) And (5) counting the projection area of the spacecraft. Setting the number of generated and tracked test particles as M, wherein the number of the test particles of which the motion trail intersects with the surface of the spacecraft is Q, and setting the projection area A of the spacecraft along the z axis asPIs composed of
AP=(xmax-xmin)(ymax-ymin)(Q/M)
The statistical error ε is the quotient of the standard deviation σ of the single error distribution and the square root of the total number of test particles, i.e.
Figure BDA0001457965280000101
Therefore, after a sufficient number of test particles are generated and tracked, the projected area must converge and the statistical error is
Figure BDA0001457965280000102
The specific solving example of the complex-shape spacecraft projection area calculation is as follows:
firstly, a single-sided circular flat plate with simple appearance and analytic solution in the projection area is considered, so that comparative analysis is facilitated. The schematic diagram of a single-sided circular flat plate, the coordinate system of the body and the projection direction are shown in fig. 3a, the axial direction, the span direction and the normal direction are X, Y and the Z-axis respectively, and the projection axis is the Z-axis. The radius of the circular plate is 1m, and only the situation that the right ascension α is 0 ° needs to be considered due to the axisymmetric characteristic. Therefore, the Z-axis is located on the XOZ plane, the included angle with the X-axis is declination delta, and the included angle with the Z-axis is the complementary angle of declination. The dispersion was carried out using 608 triangular units, as shown in FIG. 3b, and the total number of test particles was 2X 107When the statistical error is
Figure BDA0001457965280000103
Fig. 4 shows the variation of the projected area of the single-sided plate with declination, which ranges from δ e [0 °,90 ° ], i.e. the projection direction varies from parallel to the plate surface to perpendicular to the plate surface. When the projection direction is parallel to the surface of the flat plate (delta is 90 degrees), the projection area is 0; when the projection direction is vertical to the surface of the flat plate (delta is 90 degrees), the projection area is the area pi of the flat plate; the projected area increases as a sinusoidal function as the projection direction changes from parallel to perpendicular to the plate surface.
For this simple shape, the theoretical solution to the projected area is the product of the area of the plate and the declination sine, i.e.
AP=πcos(π/2-δ)=πsinδ
Obviously, the Monte Carlo statistical result of the invention is completely consistent with the theoretical solution, and the reliability of the method is verified.
Then, consider the SAMSON minisatellite of the european space agency, as shown in fig. 5. Table 1 lists SAMSON satellites along several representativesThe projected areas of the directions (declination delta and right ascension alpha) give the calculation results of the invention, reliable literature results and relative errors of the two. When the declination δ is 90 °, the projection direction coincides with the Z axis of the body coordinate system, and therefore the projection area is independent of the right ascension. The total number of test particles was 2X 107Corresponding to a statistical error of
Figure BDA0001457965280000112
And the engineering requirements are met. As can be seen from the table, the calculation results of the invention are consistent with the data reported in the literature, and the magnitude of the relative error is
Figure BDA0001457965280000113
The same as the magnitude of the statistical error. Therefore, the Monte Carlo technology provided by the invention is suitable for complex engineering application shapes, has the capability of accurately calculating the projection area of the spacecraft with the complex shape along any direction, and the relative error meets the statistical distribution rule.
FIG. 6 is the projected areas of the SAMSON satellite along different directions, FIG. 6(a) is a three-dimensional distribution diagram of the projected areas, FIG. 6(b) is a corresponding two-dimensional contour diagram, and the variation range of declination is delta epsilon-90 degrees and 90 degrees]The variation range of the right ascension is alpha epsilon [0 DEG, 360 DEG ]]. When declination delta is minus 90 degrees, the projection direction is the opposite direction of the Z axis; when the declination delta is equal to 0 degrees, the projection direction is parallel to an XOY plane; when the declination δ is 90 °, the projection direction is the positive Z-axis direction. Obviously, the projection area of the SAMSON satellite along different directions has larger variation range span from the minimum value APmin=0.03m2To a maximum value APmax=0.194m2. In addition, when the solar sail is unfolded, the declination, namely the included angle between the projection direction and the XOY plane, has more obvious influence on the projection area. The influence of the right ascension is relatively smaller, which is determined by the geometry of the SAMSON satellites. When the declination delta is close to 0 degrees, the projection area is the smallest, and the influence of the right ascension on the projection area is the largest at the moment; when the declination delta is +/-90 degrees, the projection area is the largest, and the right ascension has no influence on the projection area. Fig. 6 reveals the relationship between the satellite attitude and its projected area, which is a necessary input condition for satellite attitude control.
TABLE 1 projected area under typical attitude of SAMSON satellite
Figure BDA0001457965280000111
Figure BDA0001457965280000121
Finally, as an application of the projection area Monte Carlo simulation method in space engineering, a Gravity field of the european space agency and a steady-state Ocean Circulation exploration satellite (gote) are considered, as shown in fig. 7(a) and 7 (b).
FIG. 8 is the projected area of the GOCE satellite along different directions, FIG. 8(a) is the three-dimensional distribution diagram of the projected area, FIG. 8(b) is the corresponding two-dimensional contour diagram, and the variation range of declination is δ e [ -90 DEG, 90 DEG]The variation range of the right ascension is alpha epsilon [0 DEG, 360 DEG ]]. Similar to the SAMON satellite, near declination δ being 0 °, the GOCE projection area is the smallest, and the influence of right ascension on the projection area is the largest at this time; when the declination delta is +/-90 degrees, the projection area is the largest, and the right ascension has no influence on the projection area. However, the shape of the elongated body of a gote satellite, coupled with the large area of the solar wings, results in a larger projected area span along different directions than a SAMSON satellite, from a minimum value aPmin=0.817m2To a maximum value APmax=10.273m2. Along with the change of the attitude of the GOCE satellite, the atmospheric resistance and the sunlight pressure change of the GOCE satellite are huge due to the large change range of the projection area of the GOCE satellite, and the power generation efficiency of the solar wing is also changed violently, so that great challenges are provided for the stability, the attitude and the track control of the GOCE satellite. Fig. 8 reveals the relationship between the orientation of the gote satellite and the projection area thereof, which is an input parameter for calculation and monitoring of the power generation amount of the solar wing, prediction of the atmospheric resistance and the sunlight pressure, and is also a necessary condition for satellite orientation and orbit control.
By integrating the above calculation of the projection area of the single-sided circular flat model, the SAMSON satellite and the GOCE satellite, the following conclusions can be obtained: the spacecraft projection area calculation method has the capability of accurately calculating the projection area of any complex spacecraft shape along any direction, has good robustness and universality, can give the relation between the satellite attitude and the projection area thereof, and is an ideal method for calculating the projection area of the complex spacecraft.
The present invention is not disclosed in the technical field of the common general knowledge of the technicians in this field.
