Abstract

The micro-thruster of micro-nano satellite cannot provide a large impulse for a single time to satisfy the requirements of the general phasing maneuver because of the constraints of thrust and the stability of attitude control system. A multi impulses phasing method is proposed based on the four impulses phasing maneuver, which satisfies the constraint of the working time of the micro thruster. In this method, a large impulse is divided into multiple small impulses, and the impulses can be re-optimized under the constraint of phasing time, which can realize the phasing maneuver of micro-nano satellites using microthrusters. The simulation results show that the error of phasing time is less than 30 s, and the phasing accuracy in two-body orbit dynamic is less than 0.2 km. Considering the perturbation and the error of the micro thruster, the phasing accuracy is less than 5 km, which meets the time limit and fuel consumption limit in phasing maneuver of the micro-nano satellite.
