Problems solved by technology

Since the star light source is a weak light, the interference of stray light such as sunlight, earth atmosphere light, and moon atmosphere light will affect the measurement accuracy of the star sensor, and even cause the star sensor to be unusable, which seriously affects the performance of the star sensor. On-orbit availability
[0003] Although a hood is installed in front of the lens of the star sensor, it can only prevent a certain amount of stray light interference, and low-inclination satellites are more likely to be interfered by stray light such as sunlight and atmospheric light due to their orbits. A single star sensor cannot guarantee that it will always be available in orbit, resulting in the inability of the satellite to perform high-precision attitude determination all the time, which has caused certain limitations to the satellite's mission execution
[0004] Aiming at the problem that the star sensor is susceptible to stray light interference, there are mainly two traditional methods, one is to improve the design of the hood, increase the length of the hood or increase the number of stages of the hood, this method can improve to a certain extent The ability of the star sensor to stray light, but the room for improvement is relatively limited, and the stray light near and beyond the hood cannot be suppressed very well; Astigmatism suppression is the largest installation position, but this method also has limitations, that is, it can only suppress the entry of stray light at a specific angle, and cannot guarantee that the star sensor will be free from stray light interference for a long time

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for using a low-inclination satellite star sensor, which includes: determining the number and installation layout of the star sensor according to the constraints of the star sensor's sun suppression angle and earth suppression angle; on the premise of ensuring energy supply, Design the attitude of the satellite to ensure the availability of the star sensor. This method can enhance the ability of the star sensor to suppress stray light such as sunlight and atmospheric light, and improve the on-orbit usability of the star sensor, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the satellite's attitude determination and improving the satellite's mission execution capability.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of spacecraft attitude control. Specifically, the present invention relates to a method for using a star sensor suitable for low-inclination satellites. Background technique [0002] The star sensor is a high-precision optical sensor with the star as the attitude reference light source, and it is an important attitude measurement component in the spacecraft control system. Since the star light source is a weak light, the interference of stray light such as sunlight, earth atmosphere light, and moon atmosphere light will affect the measurement accuracy of the star sensor, and even cause the star sensor to be unusable, which seriously affects the performance of the star sensor. On-orbit availability. [0003] Although a hood is installed in front of the lens of the star sensor, it can only prevent a certain amount of stray light interference, and low-inclination satellites are more likely to be interfered by...
