Different types of propulsion systems with continuous and purely radial thrust, whose modulus depends on the distance from a massive body, may be conveniently described within a single mathematical model by means of the concept of generalized sail. This paper discusses the existence and stability of artificial equilibrium points maintained by a generalized sail within an elliptic restricted three-body problem. Similar to the classical case in the absence of thrust, a generalized sail guarantees the existence of equilibrium points belonging only to the orbital plane of the two primaries. The geometrical loci of existing artificial equilibrium points are shown to coincide with those obtained for the circular three body problem when a non-uniformly rotating and pulsating coordinate system is chosen to describe the spacecraft motion. However, the generalized sail has to provide a periodically variable acceleration to maintain a given artificial equilibrium point. A linear stability analysis of the artificial equilibrium points is provided by means of the Floquet theory.  相似文献

We consider periodic halo orbits about artificial equilibrium points (AEP) near to the Lagrange points L 1 and L 2 in the circular restricted three body problem, where the third body is a low-thrust propulsion spacecraft in the Sun–Earth system. Although such halo orbits about artificial equilibrium points can be generated using a solar sail, there are points inside L 1 and beyond L 2 where a solar sail cannot be placed, so low-thrust, such as solar electric propulsion, is the only option to generate artificial halo orbits around points inaccessible to a solar sail. Analytical and numerical halo orbits for such low-thrust propulsion systems are obtained by using the Lindstedt Poincaré and differential corrector method respectively. Both the period and minimum amplitude of halo orbits about artificial equilibrium points inside L 1 decreases with an increase in low-thrust acceleration. The halo orbits about artificial equilibrium points beyond L 2 in contrast show an increase in period with an increase in low-thrust acceleration. However, the minimum amplitude first increases and then decreases after the thrust acceleration exceeds 0.415 mm/s2. Using a continuation method, we also find stable artificial halo orbits which can be sustained for long integration times and require a reasonably small low-thrust acceleration 0.0593 mm/s2.  相似文献

Solar sails are a proposed form of spacecraft propulsion using large membrane mirrors to propel a satellite taking advantage of the solar radiation pressure. To model the dynamics of a solar sail we have considered the Earth–Sun Restricted Three Body Problem including the Solar radiation pressure (RTBPS). This model has a 2D surface of equilibrium points parametrised by the two angles that define the sail orientation. In this paper we study the non-linear dynamics close to an equilibrium point, with special interest in the bounded motion. We focus on the region of equilibria close to SL 1, a collinear equilibrium point that lies between the Earth and the Sun when the sail is perpendicular to the Sun–sail direction. For different fixed sail orientations we find families of planar, vertical and Halo-type orbits. We have also computed the centre manifold around different equilibria and used it to describe the quasi-periodic motion around them. We also show how the geometry of the phase space varies with the sail orientation. These kind of studies can be very useful for future mission applications.  相似文献

Non-Keplerian orbits for electric sails   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  
An electric sail is capable of guaranteeing the fulfilment of a class of trajectories that would be otherwise unfeasible through conventional propulsion systems. In particular, the aim of this paper is to analyze the electric sail capabilities of generating a class of displaced non-Keplerian orbits, useful for the observation of the Sun’s polar regions. These orbits are characterized through their physical parameters (orbital period and solar distance) and the spacecraft propulsion capabilities. A comparison with a solar sail is made to highlight which of the two systems is more convenient for a given mission scenario. The optimal (minimum time) transfer trajectories towards the displaced orbits are found with an indirect approach.  相似文献

The power-limited solar electric propulsion system is considered more practical in mission design. An accurate mathematical model of the propulsion system, based on experimental data of the power generation system, is used in this paper. An indirect method is used to deal with the time-optimal and fuel-optimal control problems, in which the solar electric propulsion system is described using a finite number of operation points, which are characterized by different pairs of thruster input power. In order to guarantee the integral accuracy for the discrete power-limited problem, a power operation detection technique is embedded in the fourth-order Runge-Kutta algorithm with fixed step. Moreover, the logarithmic homotopy method and normalization technique are employed to overcome the difficulties caused by using indirect methods. Three numerical simulations with actual propulsion systems are given to substantiate the feasibility and efficiency of the proposed method.  相似文献

The fuel consumption associated with some interplanetary transfer trajectories using chemical propulsion is not affordable. A solar sail is a method of propulsion that does not consume fuel. Transfer time is one of the most pressing problems of solar sail transfer trajectory design. This paper investigates the time-optimal interplanetary transfer trajectories to a circular orbit of given inclination and radius. The optimal control law is derived from the principle of maximization. An indirect method is used...  相似文献

The restricted problem of three bodies is generalized to the restricted problem of 2+n bodies. Instead of one body of small mass and two primaries, the system is modified so that there are several gravitationally interacting bodies with small masses. Their motions are influenced by the primaries but they do not influence the motions of the primaries. Several variations of the classical problem are discussed. The separate Jacobian integrals of the minor bodies are lost but a conservative (time-independent) Hamiltonian of the system is obtained. For the case of two minor bodies, the five Lagrangian points of the classical problem are generalized and fourteen equilibrium solutions are established. The four linearly stable equilibrium solutions which are the generalizations of the triangular Lagrangian points are once again stable but only for considerably smaller values of the mass parameter of the primaries than in the classical problem.  相似文献

We study spherically symmetrical equilibrium states of collisionless stellar systems confined to a spherical box. These equilibrium states correspond to the statistics introduced by Lynden-Bell in his theory of 'violent relaxation', and are described by a Fermi–Dirac distribution function. We compute the corresponding equilibrium diagram and show that a global entropy maximum exists for any accessible control parameter. This equilibrium state shows a pronounced separation between a degenerate core and a halo. We therefore check that degeneracy is able to stop the gravitational collapse (of a collisionless system), and we propose a simple model for the 'core–halo' structure. We also discuss the relevance of our study for real galaxies or other astrophysical systems such as massive neutrinos.  相似文献

In this paper, families of Lyapunov and halo orbits are presented with a solar sail equipped with a reflectance control device in the Earth–Moon system. System dynamical model is established considering solar sail acceleration, and four solar sail steering laws and two initial Sun-sail configurations are introduced. The initial natural periodic orbits with suitable periods are firstly identified. Subsequently, families of solar sail Lyapunov and halo orbits around the \(L_{1}\) and \(L_{2}\) points are designed with fixed solar sail characteristic acceleration and varying reflectivity rate and pitching angle by the combination of the modified differential correction method and continuation approach. The linear stabilities of solar sail periodic orbits are investigated, and a nonlinear sliding model controller is designed for station keeping. In addition, orbit transfer between the same family of solar sail orbits is investigated preliminarily to showcase reflectance control device solar sail maneuver capability.  相似文献

The aim of the present work is to find the secular solution around the triangular equilibrium points and reduce it to the periodic solution in the frame work of the generalized restricted thee-body problem. This model is generalized in sense that both the primaries are oblate and radiating as well as the gravitational potential from a belt. We show that the linearized equation of motion of the infinitesimal body around the triangular equilibrium points has a secular solution when the value of mass ratio equals the critical mass value. Moreover, we reduce this solution to periodic solution, as well as some numerical and graphical investigations for the effects of the perturbed forces are introduced. This model can be used to examine the existence of a dust particle near the triangular points of an oblate and radiating binary stars system surrounded by a belt.  相似文献

Halo orbits for solar sails at artificial Sun–Earth L1 points are investigated by a third order approximate solution. Two families of halo orbits are explored as defined by the sail attitude. Case I: the sail normal is directed along the Sun-sail line. Case II: the sail normal is directed along the Sun–Earth line. In both cases the minimum amplitude of a halo orbit increases as the lightness number of the solar sail increases. The effect of the z-direction amplitude on x- or y-direction amplitude is also investigated and the results show that the effect is relatively small. In case I, the orbit period increases as the sail lightness number increases, while in case II, as the lightness number increases, the orbit period increases first and then decreases after the lightness number exceeds ~0.01.  相似文献

In this paper, the restricted problem of three bodies is generalized to include a case when the passively gravitating test particle is an oblate spheroid under effect of small perturbations in the Coriolis and centrifugal forces when the first primary is a source of radiation and the second one an oblate spheroid, coupled with the influence of the gravitational potential from the belt. The equilibrium points are found and it is seen that, in addition to the usual three collinear equilibrium points, there appear two new ones due to the potential from the belt and the mass ratio. Two triangular equilibrium points exist. These equilibria are affected by radiation of the first primary, small perturbation in the centrifugal force, oblateness of both the test particle and second primary and the effect arising from the mass of the belt. The linear stability of the equilibrium points is explored and the stability outcome of the collinear equilibrium points remains unstable. In the case of the triangular points, motion is stable with respect to some conditions which depend on the critical mass parameter; influenced by the small perturbations, radiating effect of the first primary, oblateness of the test body and second primary and the gravitational potential from the belt. The effects of each of the imposed free parameters are analyzed. The potential from the belt and small perturbation in the Coriolis force are stabilizing parameters while radiation, small perturbation in the centrifugal force and oblateness reduce the stable regions. The overall effect is that the region of stable motion increases under the combine action of these parameters. We have also found the frequencies of the long and short periodic motion around stable triangular points. Illustrative numerical exploration is rendered in the Sun–Jupiter and Sun–Earth systems where we show that in reality, for some values of the system parameters, the additional equilibrium points do not in general exist even when there is a belt to interact with.  相似文献

The design of spacecraft trajectories is a crucial part of a space mission design. Often the mission goal is tightly related to the spacecraft trajectory. A geostationary orbit is indeed mandatory for a stationary equatorial position. Visiting a solar system planet implies that a proper trajectory is used to bring the spacecraft from Earth to the vicinity of the planet. The first planetary missions were based on conventional trajectories obtained with chemical engine rockets. The manoeuvres could be considered 'impulsive' and clear limitations to the possible missions were set by the energy required to reach certain orbits. The gravity-assist trajectories opened a new way of wandering through the solar system, by exploiting the gravitational field of some planets. The advent of other propulsion techniques, as electric or ion propulsion and solar sail, opened a new dimension to the planetary trajectory, while at the same time posing new challenges. These 'low thrust' propulsion techniques cannot be considered 'impulsive' anymore and require for their study mathematical techniques which are substantially different from before. The optimisation of such trajectories is also a new field of flight dynamics, which involves complex treatments especially in multi-revolution cases as in a lunar transfer trajectory. One advantage of these trajectories is that they allow to explore regions of space where different bodies gravitationally compete with each other. We can exploit therefore these gravitational perturbations to save fuel or reduce time of flight. The SMART-1 spacecraft, first European mission to the Moon, will test for the first time all these techniques. The paper is a summary report on various activities conducted by the project team in these areas.  相似文献

This paper formulates a circular restricted four body problem (CRFBP), where the three primaries are set in the stable Lagrangian equilateral triangle configuration and the fourth body is massless. The analysis of this autonomous coplanar CRFBP is undertaken, which identifies eight natural equilibria; four of which are close to the smaller body, two stable and two unstable, when considering the primaries to be the Sun and two smaller bodies of the Solar System. Following this, the model incorporates ‘near term’ low-thrust propulsion capabilities to generate surfaces of artificial equilibrium points close to the smaller primary, both in and out of the plane containing the celestial bodies. A stability analysis of these points is carried out and a stable subset of them is identified. Throughout the analysis the Sun-Jupiter-asteroid-spacecraft system is used, for conceivable masses of a hypothetical asteroid set at the libration point L 4. It is shown that eight bounded orbits exist, which can be maintained with a constant thrust less than 1.5 × 10−4 N for a 1000 kg spacecraft. This illustrates that, by exploiting low-thrust technologies, it would be possible to maintain an observation point more than 66% closer to the asteroid than that of a stable natural equilibrium point. The analysis then focusses on a major Jupiter Trojan: the (624) Hektor asteroid. The thrust required to enable close asteroid observation is determined in the simplified CRFBP model. Finally, a numerical simulation of the real Sun-Jupiter-(624) Hektor-spacecraft is undertaken, which tests the validity of the stability analysis of the simplified model.  相似文献

The circular restricted three-body problem, where two primaries are taken as heterogeneous oblate spheroid with three layers of different densities and infinitesimal body varies its mass according to the Jeans law, has been studied. The system of equations of motion have been evaluated by using the Jeans law and hence the Jacobi integral has been determined. With the help of system of equations of motion, we have plotted the equilibrium points in different planes (in-plane and out-of planes), zero velocity curves, regions of possible motion, surfaces (zero-velocity surfaces with projections and Poincaré surfaces of section) and the basins of convergence with the variation of mass parameter. Finally, we have examined the stability of the equilibrium points with the help of Meshcherskii space–time inverse transformation of the above said model and revealed that all the equilibrium points are unstable.  相似文献

The model of restricted three-body is generalized to include the effects of the oblateness, the radiation pressure and fictitious forces. The positions of libration points, their stability, the critical mass ratio and periodic orbits emanating from these points are analyzed under the influence of these effects. The results obtained are more generalized. In addition the locations of the out of plane equilibrium points are studied. We also observe that there is no explicit effect for the perturbation of Coriolis force on the positions of the out of plane equilibrium points. It is worth mentioning that this model can be degraded into 128 special cases.  相似文献

This paper presents a generalized problem of the restricted three body studied in Abdul Raheem and Singh with the inclusion that the third body is an oblate spheroidal test particle of infinitesimally mass. The positions and stability of the equilibrium point of this problem is studied for a model in which the primaries is the binary system Struve 2398 (Gliese 725) in the constellation Draco; which consist of a pair of radiating oblate stars. It is seen that additional equilibrium points exist on the line collinear with the primaries, for some combined parameters of the problem. Hence, there can be up to five collinear equilibrium points. Two triangular points exist and depends on the oblateness of the participating bodies, radiation pressure of the primaries and a small perturbation in the centrifugal force. The stability analysis ensures that, the collinear equilibrium points are unstable in the linear sense while the triangular points are stable under certain conditions. Illustrative numerical exploration is given to indicate significant improvement of the problem in Abdul Raheem and Singh.  相似文献

The well-known problem of reckoning the critical surfaces (equipotential zero-velocity surfaces) in the close binary systems is approached by an independent method. The formulation of the problem is based on the assumptions of the binary's matter consisting of ionized hydrogen, the system possessing black-body radiation, a potential magnetic field, being in adiabatic equilibrium. Total pressure and total internal energy are examined. The model, implying synchronous rotation of the components, is described by hydromagnetic equations. For a statical case, however, it is representable by the equation of motion alone. Next, the temperature field is reproduced whereby the ratioP r/Pg= is playing part of a free parameter. The resulting potential functions, applied to particular binaries, furnish the Lagrangian collinear points, critical surfaces and potentials over them in terms of . The families of surfaces thus obtained, compared with those springing from the Roche model, differ qualitatively in their geometry, position of the collinear equilibrium points, number of possible equilibrium states and the values of critical potentials. At identifying the allowed and forbidden regions of the gas motion new areas have been disclosed across which the gas outflow can take place and more possibilities of shell forming both around the individual components and the system as a whole. As the gas enthalpy and radiation are increased, the surfaces' geometry is undergoing changes. The method enables the intensity of gas velocity to be ascertained at any point in the system.The results of the method outlined here complement the picture of possible equilibrium states in the close binary systems in the presence of radiation and magnetic field.  相似文献

We investigate the validity of the generalized second law of gravitational thermodynamics in a non-flat FRW universe containing the interacting generalized Chaplygin gas with the baryonic matter. The boundary of the universe is assumed to be enclosed by the dynamical apparent horizon. We show that for the interacting generalized Chaplygin gas as a unified candidate for dark matter and dark energy, the equation of state parameter can cross the phantom divide. We also present that for the selected model under thermal equilibrium with the Hawking radiation, the generalized second law is always satisfied throughout the history of the universe for any spatial curvature, independently of the equation of state of the interacting generalized Chaplygin gas model.  相似文献
