Abstract

Midcourse correction design is key to space transfers in the cislunar space. Autonomous guidance has garnered significant attention for its promise to decrease the dependence on ground control systems. This study addresses the problem of midcourse corrections for Earth-Moon transfer orbits based on high-order state transition tensors (STTs). The scenarios considered are direct Earth-Moon transfers and low-energy transfers to lunar distant retrograde orbits (DROs), where the latter involve weak stability boundary (WSB) and lunar gravity assist (LGA) techniques. Semi-analytical formulas are provided for computing the trajectory correction maneuvers (TCMs) using high-order STTs derived using the differential algebraic method. Monte Carlo simulations are performed to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed approach. Compared with existing explicit guidance algorithms, the STT-based approach is much cheaper computationally and features fewer final position errors. These results are promising for fast and efficient orbital autonomous correction guidance approaches in the cislunar space.

基于高阶态跃迁张量的地月远逆行轨道转移轨迹中途修正

中段校正设计是地月空间空间转移的关键。自主制导因其减少对地面控制系统的依赖而受到广泛关注。本文研究了基于高阶态转移张量(STTs)的地月转移轨道中途修正问题。考虑的情况是直接地月转移和低能量转移到月球远逆行轨道(DROs)，后者涉及弱稳定边界(WSB)和月球重力辅助(LGA)技术。利用微分代数方法推导出高阶stt，给出了计算弹道修正机动的半解析公式。通过蒙特卡罗仿真来评价该方法的有效性。与现有的显式制导算法相比，基于stt的方法计算成本更低，最终位置误差更小。这些结果为快速有效的地月空间轨道自主校正制导方法提供了前景。
