In the context of the rapid advancements in space technology and the increasing complexity of space missions, there is a growing need for efficient and effective approaches to tackle the multifaceted challenges faced by space systems. Traditional methods often fall short in providing comprehensive support throughout the entire life cycle of space systems. To address these challenges, this paper presents a novel parallel space system architecture based on ACP (artificial systems, computational experiments, and parallel execution) and explores its applications in the design, development, and operation of space systems. The proposed architecture integrates artificial systems with actual space systems and employs computational experiments to generate extensive sample data. This approach enhances the accuracy of the artificial systems’ model and optimizes the performance of the real systems, facilitating parallel advancements between the two. The design, development, and operation processes of Q-Sat, implemented using the ACP framework, serve as a case study to illustrate the advantages of parallel space systems. Following adjustments made to the discrepancies between parallel systems under the ACP-based space system framework, the accuracy of missing orbit compensation improved by 86.5%, and the 24-hour forecast positional error was reduced by approximately 65 m. Furthermore, this paper discusses future trends, emphasizing the increasing efficiency and reliability of digitized, integrated, and adaptive space systems. The findings contribute to the understanding of parallel space systems and provide valuable insights for further advancements in the field.

This paper introduces a fault-tolerant control scheme for the automatic carrier landing of carrier-based aircraft using direct lift control. The scheme combines radial basis function neural network and active disturbance rejection control (RBF-ADRC) to overcome the impact of actuator failures and external disturbances. First, the carrier-based aircraft model, the carrier air-wake model, and the actuator fault model were established. Secondly, ADRC is designed to estimate and compensate for actuator faults and disturbances in real time. RBFNN adjusts the ADRC controller parameters based on the system state. Then, the Lyapunov function is constructed to prove the stability of the closed-loop system. The controller is applied to the direct lift control channel, auxiliary attitude channel, and approach power compensation system. The direct lift control improves the performance of fixed-wing aircraft. Finally, comparative simulations were conducted under various actuator failures. The results demonstrate the remarkable fault tolerance of the RBF-ADRC scheme, enabling precise tracking of the desired glide path by the shipboard aircraft even in the presence of actuator failures.

Bolted connections are widely used in assembly structures, and their dynamic characteristics are often affected by stiffness, damping, excitation, and other factors. In order to solve the problems of low computational efficiency of fine modeling and large computational error of linearized equivalent modeling of bolted structures, this paper proposes a dynamic characteristic parameter identification method for bolted structures based on the multiscale method and considering the influence of nonlinear factors. In this method, the bolted connection characteristics are simulated in the form of a combination of shear stiffness, torsional stiffness, nonlinear stiffness, and viscous damping coefficient and identified according to the test measurement frequency and frequency response function. At the same time, by establishing the nonlinear dynamic model of bolted structure, the influence of different bolt preloads and excitation forces on the dynamic characteristics of bolted structure is studied.

A novel standard trajectory design and tracking guidance used in the multiple active leap maneuver mode for hypersonic glide vehicles (HGVs) is proposed in this paper. First, the dynamic equation and multiconstraint model are first established in the flight path coordinate system. Second, the reference drag acceleration-normalized energy (D-e) profile of the multiple active leap maneuver mode is quickly determined by the Newton iterative algorithm with a single design parameter. The range to go error is corrected by the drag acceleration profile update algorithm, and the drag acceleration error of the gliding terminal is corrected by the aerodynamic parameter estimation algorithm. Then, the reference drag acceleration tracking guidance law is designed based on the prescribed performance control method. Finally, the CAV-L vehicle model is used for numerical simulation. The results show that the proposed method can satisfy the design requirements of drag acceleration under multiple active leap maneuver modes, and the reference drag acceleration can be tracked precisely. The adaptability and robustness of the proposed method are verified by the Monte Carlo simulations under various combined deviation conditions.

The axial deployment force is an indispensable parameter of a lanyard-deployed coilable mast, which reflects its load capacity in practical applications. However, research on the axial deployment force in the literature is very limited, and there are no mature numerical methods to determine this parameter in the design stage of coilable masts. In this paper, a numerical method for determining the axial deployment force of a lanyard-deployed coilable mast in the local coil mode is presented. Through this method, the designer can quickly obtain the estimated value of the axial deployment force in the design stage, which is convenient for the quantitative design of parameters. To verify the correctness of the proposed method, a dynamic simulation of the coilable mast is carried out, and a microgravity test is performed. The comparison results show that the error between the numerical method and the simulation and experimental results is less than 5%, which proves the correctness of the proposed method. In addition, the coilable mast studied in this paper has been verified by an actual microsatellite deployment in orbit.

Aeroengines use numerous sensors to detect equipment health and ensure proper operation. Currently, filtering useful sensor data and removing useless data is challenging in predicting the remaining useful life (RUL) of an aeroengine using deep learning. To reduce computational costs and improve prediction performance, we use random forest to evaluate the feature importance of sensor data. Based on the size of the feature corresponding to the Gini index, we select the appropriate sensor. This helps us to determine which sensor to use and ensures that the computational resources are not wasted on unnecessary sensors. Considering that the RUL of equipment changes in a progressively more complex manner as the equipment is used over time, we propose an improved squeeze and excitation block (SSE) and combine it with a convolutional neural network (CNN). By enhancing the feature selection ability of CNN through segmented squeeze and excitation block, the model can focus on important information within features to effectively improve prediction performance. We compared our experiments with other RUL experiments on the CMAPSS aeroengine dataset and then conducted ablation experiments to verify the critical role of the methods we used.

Existing methods are unable to achieve high detection rates and low false alarm rates of satellite-based Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) signal preambles at extremely low signal-to-noise ratios (<i>SNRs</i>) using limited on-star resources. In this paper, a dual-hierarchy synchronization method is proposed, including a first-level coarse synchronization and a second-level fine synchronization. The coarse synchronization process involves three steps: (1) detection of unknown signals, (2) soft decision, and (3) adaptive interval output.

This paper studies the salvo attack problem for multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) against a maneuvering target, and a guidance scheme based on distributed model predictive control (DMPC) is presented to achieve cooperative interception with constraints of terminal impact angle and no-fly zone (or obstacle) avoidance. Firstly, for guaranteeing the synchronization of UAVs in calculating their acceleration commands, the assumed predictive trajectories are introduced, whose deviation from the actual state trajectories is limited by the designed compatibility constraints. Secondly, based on the velocity-obstacle model, the obstacle avoidance constraints are presented, and for guaranteeing the convergence of impact time and impact angles, the auxiliary controller and terminal ingredients are developed, which complete the design of DMPC cooperative guidance scheme. Subsequently, the rigorous proof for the convergence of the proposed guidance scheme is provided. Based on the above design, a complete implementation process of the guidance scheme is presented, in which each UAV uses the particle swarm optimization algorithm to solve the preprocessed local optimization problem, and only the shared information among neighbors is utilized for calculation. Finally, the numerical simulations are conducted under diverse cases, which demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed guidance scheme when solving cooperative interception problems with terminal angle and obstacle avoidance constraints.

In this paper, the reentry phase of the Aerospaceplane is taken as the research object, and the performance parameters of the reusable rocket of a private company are analyzed. Aiming at the guidance and control scheme of the spacecraft returning to the reentry trajectory in the real environment, the original natural algorithm is optimized by considering various reentry flight constraints, and the improved original natural algorithm is used to optimize the reentry trajectory of the Aerospaceplane. We obtained two types of reentry trajectories in the presence of large flight-restricted areas, the “S-type” trajectory and the “spiral-type” trajectory, and obtained data on various influencing factors. The results showed that the basic state parameters of the spiral trajectory optimized using the improved original natural algorithm after adding constraints met the constraint conditions. The aerodynamic heating rate and overload of the spiral reentry trajectory were to some extent greater than those of the S-type trajectory. Under the increasingly stringent requirements of the aerospace environment, new requirements were put forward for the thermal protection system to meet the wider environmental situation. This paper uses the improved original natural algorithm for the first time and applies it to the field of aerospace reentry and entry and adds more constraints to this algorithm for computation. Besides, for the first time, the macroscopic nature of trajectory types is used as a comparative element for parameter comparison, providing a reference basis for selecting trajectory optimization directions from the macroscopic perspective of trajectory types.
本文以航天飞机返回阶段为研究对象,分析了某民营企业可重复使用火箭的性能参数。针对实际环境中航天器返回再入轨道的制导和控制方案,考虑各种再入飞行约束条件,对原始自然算法进行了优化,并利用改进后的原始自然算法对航天飞机的再入轨道进行了优化。我们得到了存在大面积飞行限制区域时的两种再入飞行轨迹,即 "S型 "轨迹和 "螺旋型 "轨迹,并获得了各种影响因素的数据。结果表明,在添加约束条件后,使用改进的原始自然算法优化的螺旋轨迹的基本状态参数满足约束条件。螺旋再入轨迹的气动加热率和过载在一定程度上大于 S 型轨迹。在航天环境要求日益严格的情况下,对热防护系统提出了新的要求,以适应更广泛的环境形势。本文首次使用了改进后的原始自然算法,并将其应用于航空航天再入大气层和进入大气层领域,同时为该算法增加了更多的计算约束条件。此外,还首次将轨迹类型的宏观性作为参数比较的比较要素,从轨迹类型的宏观角度为轨迹优化方向的选择提供了参考依据。

Aiming at the guidance and control scheme of the spacecraft returning to the reentry trajectory in the real environment, the original natural algorithm is optimized by considering various reentry flight constraints, and the improved original natural algorithm is used to optimize the reentry trajectory of the Aerospaceplane. We obtained two types of reentry trajectories in the presence of large flight-restricted areas, the “S-type” trajectory and the “spiral-type” trajectory, and obtained data on various influencing factors. The results showed that the basic state parameters of the spiral trajectory optimized using the improved original natural algorithm after adding constraints met the constraint conditions.

To investigate the self-pulsation characteristics of a liquid-centered swirl coaxial injector with liquid oxygen (LOX) and gas hydrogen (GH2) as the working mediums under supercritical condition, a numerical simulation was employed. The transient simulation of the flow and injection process of cryogenic propellant was carried out using the RNG turbulence model, VOF model, and Peng-Robinson equation of state. The frequency spectrum of calculated pressure oscillation agreed with the experimental data. The amplitude-frequency characteristics of recess region, LOX, and GH2 paths when self-pulsation occurs were analyzed. The effects of operating parameters, such as the flow rate of LOX or GH2 and the initial GH2 temperature, on the self-pulsation, were evaluated specifically. Results reveal that the self-pulsation results from the periodic variation of pressure and velocity caused by the periodic blocking of annular gas by the liquid sheet. The dominant frequencies of pressure oscillation in the recess region, upstream of LOX, or GH2 path are diverse. But for the points in each region, the dominant frequency is about the same. When the LOX/GH2 mixing ratio increases, the liquid sheet thickness and the number of liquid filaments increase. The position where filaments are massively broken into droplets moves further downstream. For the same mixing ratio, the flow rate of LOX has a greater impact on the atomization features. The pressures corresponding to low or high frequency increase when the initial GH2 temperature raises. The higher temperature would shift the dominant oscillation between the low and high regimes.
