Description

Standard modularized resistance sail device for off-orbit of cube star
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of aerospace, in particular to the technical field of cube star derailment, and specifically relates to a standard modularized space deployable resistance sail device for cube star derailment.
Background
The cube star has the advantages of smaller quality, simpler structure, low cost, short research and development period, high functional density and the like, can be further networked, forms a virtual large satellite by using a distributed constellation, and is mainly used for communication, remote sensing to the ground, scientific research and the like. With the update and development of modern technology, the use of the cube star is more frequent. But the cube star can carry less fuel and has shorter working time. If the space vehicle cannot be cleaned in time after the service life is reached, precious space orbit resources are occupied, and normal operation of other on-orbit spacecrafts is threatened.
In 2007, the inter-agency space debris coordination committee (IADC) published a "space debris mitigation guideline" suggesting that a spacecraft should leave an orbit within 25 years after completion of a mission or within 30 years after being in orbit. Meanwhile, the national defense department bureau also brings out files such as space debris mitigation and protection management methods, and the like, and requires that the low-orbit satellite has active off-orbit capability. The resistance sail technology is a rail lowering method which is most suitable for cube star rail lowering at present. Therefore, the design of the space-deployable resistance sail suitable for the quick off-orbit of the cube star has profound practical significance, and has important effects on maintaining space environment, better utilizing space for human beings and protecting space resources. For example, "Sinomenium acutum Star" developed independently by Tian Jiu (Tian Jiu) SPACTY A successful transmission of the sixth space mission from the institute of space].[2019-05-01]Https:// mp.weixin.qq.com/s/vocmkcY-LZb _s28AT9 JkPw) carrying drag sail device with deployment area of 0.7m 2 The satellites can be made off-orbit within 6-12 months. The star of sinomenine is launched into orbit in month 1 of 2019.
The current common drag sail designs are directed to a particular deployment layout, examples of which are as follows:
the Chinese patent application number is: 201620485944.7 the utility model discloses a resistance sail design, the expansion mode of this resistance sail design is the radial overall arrangement that expands of plane, this resistance sail office's advantage lies in overall structure simple, and the tangential direction of stretching out of bracing piece fits single central pivot structure very, can reduce the problem of belt tape measure spring back bending as far as possible, but its limitation is also comparatively obvious, firstly, this resistance sail design is expanded the back and is located the coplanar and do not possess pneumatic self-stabilization characteristic, the attitude control system requirement on the satellite is higher, secondly belt tape measure spring expansion process is rapid and uncontrolled, the phenomenon of inflation card death easily appears, finally, from the angle of sail, tangential expansion mode can cause the atress of sail both sides uneven, produce the asymmetric condition of internal force, easily make unilateral sail membrane appear in advance and damage. Therefore, the resistance sail cannot be adapted to some cube stars with low cost and imperfect attitude control systems.
The Chinese patent application number is: 202010293058.5 a resistance sail design is disclosed, which is a resistance sail with a pneumatic self-stabilizing layout, compared with the resistance sail design described in the previous paragraph, the resistance sail has no problem of asymmetric stress of the sail membrane, and the existence of the pneumatic self-stabilizing design reduces the requirement on the cube star, but compared with the former, the resistance sail has the problems of smaller sail membrane area under the same condition, insufficient space utilization of the bottom plate and more complex transmission mechanism, and meanwhile, when the cube star attitude control system is perfect, the pneumatic self-stabilizing design has no necessity of the design, and also becomes a limiting factor of the membrane area of the resistance sail.
In summary, we can see different cube stars, which are suitable for different unfolding layouts, but the current resistance sail design does not realize standard modularization in unfolding mode, the resistance sail structures suitable for different unfolding layouts are different, after determining the unfolding layout, the designer has to design different resistance sail structures for different cube star schemes, so that the design process is prolonged intangibly, and the design period is increased.

Fig. 8 and 9 are schematic views of the whole structure of two layouts, mainly illustrating the arrangement of the sail cases, and the angles of the partition plates of the sail cases required by the two layouts are different, but the same principle is satisfied, that is, the direction of the partition plates of the sail case is the same as the extending direction of the support rods. Under the two arrangements, the position of the base plate of the sail box is not different, and the base plate is matched with the corresponding screw hole of the standard unfolding unit.
As shown in fig. 10, the resistance sail is in a rectangular parallelepiped (this example is compatible with 1U cube star, but the invention is not limited to the dimensions presented in the present example) with a configuration that is easy to assemble with the cube star and does not affect the overall shape of the cube star.
Fig. 11 and 12 are expanded views of two layouts, in which a black straight line is used instead of the support bar structure.
So far, the assembly process and principle of the invention are explained clearly as far as possible, it is understood that the above description is illustrative and not to be construed as limiting the invention, and that modifications, variations, alternatives and variants can be made to this example by a person skilled in the art in the principle of the invention.
