摘要
En 中文
The electrodynamic tether (EDT) system is used as one of the end-of-life disposal technologies to deorbit defunct satellites with the benefit of Earth???s magnetic field and plasma environment. However, due to the flexibility of the conductive tether, the orbit-attitude coupling effects as well as the influence of Multiphysics fields, this system suffers from time-consuming computations using complicated mathematical model in long-term simulations. Therefore, this paper proposes a high-fidelity high-efficiency dynamics model for the EDT system, in which the tether libration and transverse motions are described by the articulated model, and the system equations are formulated using recursive dynamics algorithm. Computational cost of the recursive method is compared with a nonrecursive method, and the result shows that with the number of tether elements larger than 15, the recursive method would show better computational efficiency. Since the conductive tether tends to be kilometers long in application, this new model would definitely contribute to the numerical efficiency. In addition, simulations are conducted with 2 and 16 tether elements solutions. By comparing the obtained results, it is found that the two cases show large differences over time. For a long tether, it is reasonable to use a larger number of elements in the dynamics analysis. Besides, in order to suppress the libration motion and avoid unstable states in the EDT system, a current control strategy is proposed and verified by a deorbit simulation in low Earth orbit.
