2 Chart 2 Presentation Outline Introduction Relative motion Constraint analysis Relative orbit design problem Results & example case Conclusion & outlook
3 Chart 3 The Problem Collocated satellites are equipped with sensors Payload Star sensors Etc. Sensor interference is caused by other satellites moving in field of view Geometric constraint: stay out of the field of view of sensors on other satellites Can this be dealt with through relative orbit design?
4 Chart 4 Motivation Motivated by one of the leading satellite operators: Obstruction of star sensors can cause loss of attitude information Payload sensor interference is another problem that has not been dealt with Results can be applied to missions with cluster flying satellites Collocated GEO satellites Fractionated spacecraft
5 Chart 5 Domain of Validity This research has been subject to some simplifying assumptions: Near-circular orbits Perturbation-free dynamics In reality perturbations affect the dynamics significantly BUT: differential perturbations are small Nadir pointing satellites: attitude fixed in the Hill frame These assumptions are valid for most GEO satellites
6 Chart 6 Definition of Geometric Constraint Geometric constraint results from a sensor Sensor s pointing direction defined by e c Field of view defined through e c and β/2 Vector e 01 (t) points towards satellite #1 Angle between e 01 (t) and e c is α(t) Constraint is given by: α(t) > β/2
7 Chart 7 Relative Motion Description Orbit described in equinoctial orbital elements Relative orbit described in orbital element differences Relative motion governed by Clohessy-Wiltshire equations a λ e x e y i x i y = a M + ω + Ω e cos (ω + Ω) e sin (ω + Ω) i cos (Ω) i sin (Ω) Δa Δλ Δe x Δe y Δi x Δi y
8 Chart 8 Relative Orbit Assumptions: Δe = Δe x Δe y = δδ cos φ sin φ No along-track drift: Δa = 0 Centered orbit: Δλ = 0 Δi = Δi x Δi y = δδ cos θ sin θ Orbits lie on cylinder: aδδ: size of elliptical base aδδ: height of cylinder Angle between Δe and Δi determines orientation of orbit ψ = φ θ Three sample orbits shown to lie on an elliptical cylinder. Reference satellite is located in the center of the figure.
9 Chart 9 Relation Relative Orbital Elements and Constraint Unit vector in direction of relative angular momentum: e e is completely defined through Δe and Δi (analytic relation derived) Constraint satisfied over the entire orbit if: α min > β 2 e e c > sin or β 2 Analytic relation derived between relative orbital elements and constraint!
10 Chart 10 Relative Orbit Design Problem Feasibility problem: Find some angle ψ, between relative eccentricity and inclination vectors, that satisfies the geometric constraints Optimization problem: Find an angle ψ that maximizes α mmm The problem is generally subject to other constraints, e.g.: Bounds on tolerable separation between eccentricity and inclination vectors Bounds on the minimum and/or maximum separation distance between satellites
11 Chart 11 Design Process 1. Identify constraints: Geometric constraints Bounds on relative orientation of eccentricity and inclination vectors Tolerable minimum and maximum separation distances 2. Formulate the problem mathematically 3. Solve the problem: find ψ (and optionally δe and δi) 4. Specify eccentricity and inclination vectors
12 Chart 12 Example Case Fleet of 4 collocated satellites Each satellite equipped with: a Nadir pointing sensor γ cc = 0, χ cc = 0, β 1 2 = 9 North looking star sensor γ c2 = 45, χ c2 = 75, β 2 2 = 15 Constraint on separation of eccentricity and inclination vectors: ψ 0, , , 360 Constraint on size of eccentricity and inclination vectors: ae = 12 km, ai = 12 km
13 Chart 13 Solutions including constraints on ψ Achievable α min Corresponding ψ Star sensor Star sensor c min c Nadir sensor Nadir sensor c c The figures suggest feasibility!
14 Chart 14 Specification of ψ Constraint on separation of eccentricity and inclination vectors: ψ 0, , , 360 Dotted lines show variations in λ of +/- 8 km Design point: ψ = 150
15 Chart 15 Placement of e / i vectors Constraint on size of eccentricity and inclination vectors: a e = 12 km, a i = 12 km Relative phase angle from design: ψ = 150 For maximum relative separation the solutions are squares ψ
16 Chart 16 Resulting Relative Orbits Constraints are satisfied Orbits share the same relative orbital plane
17 Chart 17 Conclusions & Outlook Conclusion: An analytic relation between relative orbital elements and geometric constraints was defined The analysis resulted in a method for designing relative motion orbits that satisfy geometric constraints Next steps: What is the effect of perturbations and uncertainty on the relative orbit and geometric constraints? What is a suitable guidance and control method for geometry constrained collocated satellites?
