Abstract

The invention relates to a method for monitoring plume contamination of an attitude control engine of a spacecraft, in particular to a method for monitoring plume contamination of an attitude control engine of a spacecraft by adopting a quartz-crystal microbalance, belonging to the technical field of aviation. In a monitoring device for the plume contamination of the attitude control engine of the spacecraft, a set of quartz-crystal microbalance monitor is arranged on the sliding rail of the existing space electric propulsion ground simulation testing equipment, and two sets of quartz-crystal microbalance monitors are arranged behind an engine nozzle on the surface of a vacuum chamber. In the method, an attitude engine is adopted to ignite so as to ensure that the engine jets heat flow gas, and contaminants are generated when the gas is condensed; and the frequency and temperature of the quartz-crystal microbalance are monitored online in situ and saved. The method improves the sensitivity of plume contamination monitoring of the attitude control engine in China reaching 1.10*10-9 to 4.42*10-9, and the testing process is stable and reliable and has good repeatability, so the method is suitable for large-scale tests.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for monitoring plume pollution of a spacecraft attitude control engine, in particular to a method for monitoring plume pollution of a spacecraft attitude control engine by using a quartz crystal microbalance, and belongs to the technical field of aerospace. Background technique [0002] The interaction between the spacecraft and the space environment represented by the plume pollution effect of the attitude control engine is one of the indispensable supporting technologies for the development of aerospace technology. The spacecraft needs a considerable number of attitude-orbit control engines to maintain its orbit and attitude stability. When these engines work in the space-rare gas environment, the jet fluid will expand freely to the external environment to form a plume. The plume will not only produce plume aerodynamic effects, plume aerothermal effects, and plume interference effects on the field of view and microwa...
