Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to a space tether dragging orbit transfer mode, belongs to the technical field of satellite orbit transfer design, and can be applied to orbit design in space tether dragging transfer.
Background
In recent years, tethered robots and space flying nets are used for clearing space abandoned satellites, space tugs (mission satellites) release capturing devices (mechanical arms or flying nets) through flexible tethers, and after the space abandoned satellites are captured by the capturing devices, the space tugs and the abandoned satellites form tethered assemblies. The space rope system dragging and transferring refers to an orbital maneuver process that the space tug carries out orbital maneuver to drag the abandoned satellite without the trackless control capability to a tomb orbit or to destroy the atmosphere. Because the abandoned satellite has no attitude control and orbit control capability, under the orbit control thrust disturbance of the space tug, the attitude overturn can occur to cause the tether to be wound, stretched and even collided with the space tug. In order to ensure the safety of the rope system assembly in the towing process, a rope retracting and releasing device is generally arranged on the space tug, and the rope is retracted and released through the rope retracting and releasing device so as to adjust the tension of the rope to realize the position maintenance and the swing suppression of the abandoned satellite.
At present, the orbit transfer of the rope system assembly still adopts the traditional satellite orbit maneuvering mode: pulse orbital transfer or continuous thrust orbital transfer. The pulse orbital transfer saves fuel consumption and has wide engineering application, but the pulse thrust has larger disturbance to the rope system combination body, the free sliding section can not provide the rope system tension, and the positions of two stars are difficult to control; the continuous thrust orbital transfer has small disturbance to the tether assembly and can provide continuous tether tension, but when the thrust is larger, the continuous thrust lifts (or lowers) the same orbit altitude, and the fuel consumption waste is more, while the space tug is generally configured with larger orbital control thrust to ensure enough orbit maneuverability under dangerous conditions. Therefore, aiming at the characteristics of the rope system combination body, a safe, stable and efficient rail transfer mode suitable for the rope system combination body is researched, and the method is of great importance for future wide application of the rope system combination body.
