面向大规模空间碎片清除的轨道分段–拼接规划方法

ORBIT SEGMENTATION AND PATCHING PLANNING METHOD FOR LARGE-SCALE SPACE DEBRIS REMOVAL

  • 摘要: 随着全球航天活动的激增,空间碎片问题日益严峻,在轨航天器面临严重威胁,主动碎片清除任务迫在眉睫。面向大规模、多目标、多约束空间碎片清除任务规划问题,提出了一种轨道分段−拼接规划方法。该方法将多个航天器长时程、多机动的复杂轨道规划问题分解为短时轨道基元数据库生成与可行轨道基元拼接两个核心阶段。将24 h的任务总时长划分为4个存在重叠的时间窗口,通过对各窗口初始轨道根数大规模网格搜索,筛选出能在时间窗口内清除多个碎片目标的轨道基元组成的数据库。设计组合优化算法与轨道拼接方法,从数据库中为每个航天器选择4个轨道基元并通过两脉冲转移拼接,形成一条6次脉冲机动的完整任务轨迹。本方法成功应用于第十五届全国大学生周培源力学竞赛“空间轨道设计”赛题,设计的3个航天器任务方案共清除了125个空间碎片,取得了冠军成绩。结果表明,该方法为解决此类大规模空间碎片清除任务规划问题提供了一种行之有效的技术思路。

     

    Abstract: With the surge in global space activities, the problem of space debris has become increasingly severe, posing a serious threat to on-orbit spacecraft and making active debris removal (ADR) missions urgent. To address the large-scale, multi-target, multi-constraint ADR mission planning problem, this paper proposes an orbit segmentation-and-patching planning method. The method decomposes the complex long-duration, multi-maneuver, multi-spacecraft trajectory optimization problem into two main stages: generating databases of short-duration trajectory segments and patching feasible segments. First, the 24-hour mission duration is divided into four overlapping time windows. Within each window, a large-scale grid search of initial orbital elements is performed to create a database of short-duration trajectory segments that can efficiently remove multiple pieces of debris. Then, a combinatorial optimization algorithm is used to select four optimal segments from the databases for each spacecraft. These segments are then patched using two-impulse transfers to construct a complete six-impulse mission trajectory. This method was successfully applied to the “Space Orbit Design” problem in the 15th National Zhou Peiyuan Mechanics Competition, where the proposed solution for three spacecraft cleared 125 pieces of debris and won the championship. The results demonstrate that this method provides an effective technical approach for large-scale ADR mission planning by transforming a complex optimization problem into a constructive process of feasible steps.
