Problems solved by technology

The co-location control of geostationary orbit satellites requires fuel consumption, which has a certain impact on the satellite's on-orbit life
In addition, the currently known co-location control strategies are mainly aimed at co-location formations with less than four satellites. When there are many co-location satellites, the control strategy is very complicated, the fuel consumption is huge, and it is difficult to design and implement.

Abstract

The invention discloses a rope-Coulombian force mixed satellite formation method in an earth stationary orbit, relating to a mixed satellite formation method, belonging to the field of satellite formation. Through launching N primary satellites and two auxiliary satellites into an orbit, a rope is gradually released by using a folding and unfolding device, under the effect of gravity gradient force, and finally the two auxiliary satellites are just above and under the plumb of a primary satellite plane. When the rope is released to a predetermined length, through an electron gun, the primary satellites carry a same type of charge with the equal electric quantity, under the repulsion effect of Coulombian force, the primary satellites are separated to N primary satellites near the earth stationary orbit, and a polygonoun formation configuration facing the earth is formed. When the formation configuration needs to be changed, a formation balance configuration is controlled and changed through adjusting the electric quantity of each primary satellite. According to the method, the multiple-satellites common position formation can be realized, an earth stationary track satellite capacity is developed, and the fuel consumption of formation maintenance and reconstruction control can be reduced. The method has a potential application value in the aspect of interference measurement to ground.

Background technique [0002] The geostationary orbit is a circular orbit with a height of about 35,800 km above the equator and geosynchronous rotation. Satellites operating in this orbit remain geostationary and can cover almost half of the earth. Therefore, in communication, remote sensing, navigation, early warning, data relay It is widely used in civil and military fields such as meteorology and meteorology (Liang Bin, Xu Wenfu, Li Cheng, Liu Yu. Research status and development trend of geostationary orbit service technology[J]. Acta Astronautics Sinica. 2010,31(1):1-13 ). [0003] The fixed-point accuracy of a typical geostationary orbit satellite is ...
