Slag sizes as large as 1 cm have been witnessed in ground tests,and comparable sizes have been also estimated via observations of sub-orbital tail-off events. We achieve slag initial data based on MASTER slag model and SRM historical launch data,and propagate slag long-term orbital evolution taking into account the zonal harmonics J2,atmospheric drag,solar radiation pressure and luni-solar attraction to discuss the slag size distribution and orbital characteristics. Finally,future slag debris environment is evaluated based on two different launch rate assumptions. The result shows that current launch frequency will make the slag population sustain growth and the population will not decrease at once even if there are no more launches in the future.展开更多

Camera / IMU( inertial measurement units) integrated navigation systems can be alternatives to GNSS. In this paper,a tightly coupled Camera / IMU algorithm modeled by IEKF( iterated extended kalman filter) is presented. This tight integration approach uses image generated pixel coordinates to update the Kalman Filter directly. The developed algorithm is verified by a hybrid simulation,i.e. using inertial data from field test to fuse with simulated image feature measurements. The results show that the tight approach is superior to the loose integration when the image measurements are insufficient( i.e. less than three ground control points).展开更多

The obtained the temperature,buckling,stress and deflection responses were compared,and the deflection and stress distributions as well as thermal buckling mode at the time were discussed for the considered configurations when the temperature difference between the top and bottom face sheet was maximum. The results demonstrated that the non-orthogonal and hat-stiffened double-layer structures provide superior performance to resist thermal buckling deformation in comparison with other configurations. The useful information is provided for the forthcoming optimization in which thermal buckling is considered as critical design driver.展开更多
