Micro-nano Satellite Phasing Maneuver Method under Microthrust Constraint

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.

Model reference adaptive attitude control for near space hypersonic vehicle with mismatched uncertainties

In this paper, a new model reference adaptive attitude control based on backstepping approach is presented for near space hypersonic vehicle with mismatched uncertainties. Firstly, the attitude dynamic model of near space hypersonic vehicle is divided into two control loops, which is composed of an attitude angle control loop and an attitude angular rate control loop. Secondly, a novel model reference adaptive attitude control approach is proposed by introducing reference model to avoid the calculating expansion problem in backstepping technique. Meanwhile, the reference models for every loop are independently designed to improve the tracking performance. The stability of attitude control system is strictly proven by using Lyapunov stability theory. Finally, the simulation results demonstrate that the attitude control system by applying the proposed method has good stability, dynamic property and strong robustness in the presence of input constraints and parameters perturbation.
