The invention discloses a scheme of a
spacecraft navigation based on an X
pulsar detection equivalent device. The scheme mainly comprises the following processes of simulating X
pulsar emitting
photon information detected by an X
pulsar detector, and resolving a
spacecraft position and speed navigation information. The overall
simulation process is divided into three parts, namely
detector simulating,
data processing and navigation resolving. In the first part, the
detector simulates the
photon arrival time; in the second part, a
data processing system performs cycle folding according to the
photon arrival time of the X pulsar, calculates a pulse profile, performs time conversion, and performs pulse profile cross-correlation
processing with a standard profile stored by a known
ephemeris so as to finish the calculation of the pulse
arrival time; and in the third part of navigation resolving, a precise
spacecraft orbit and
time information are resolved finally by taking the pulse arrival time as measurement information and combining an
orbit dynamic equation and kalman filtering. By the X pulsar equivalent device, the influence of various parameters and different algorithms such as a resolution ratio, a view field, time conversion precision, a folding
algorithm and the like on the autonomous navigation accuracy of the spacecraft can be analyzed, and necessary
technical support is provided for the development of an X pulsar-based
autonomous navigation system and the research on combined navigation with other systems.
