Abstract:
Provided is a configuration construction and attitude control method for a pyramid deorbit sail. By taking into consideration environmental perturbation like atmospheric resistance perturbation and non-spherical earth perturbation, a dynamics model featuring three-dimensional orbit-and-attitude coupling based on position vectors and quaternion descriptions, the deorbit sail is taken as a rigid body, a spacecraft body is taken as a mass point, airflow obstruction is considered in the windward area, thereby improving the precision of the dynamics model; based on this model, the law of influence of the configuration parameters in the deorbit sail, such as a cone angle and a strut length, on the attitude stability and deorbiting efficiency of the spacecraft in different cases is analyzed, the configuration parameters of the pyramid deorbit sail system are analyzed and optimized according to the derived law, so as to obtain a pyramid deorbit sail achieving high attitude stability and high deorbiting efficiency.
