INTRODUCTION

The present laboratory practice on discipline «System Analysis of Space Missions» urged to give practical skills in carrying out of the complex analysis o f almost any typical missions in a circumterraneous space. Proble ms in a practical work represent a complex of the interconnected problems under the analysis of feasibility of space mission, beginning from a stage of space vehicle launching to a stage of de-orbiting and landing. Practical work main objective is fastening of theoretical knowledge o n discipline and mastering by pupils of the basic engineering techniques used at the system analysis of space missions. The practical work also pro motes quantitative estimations of design-ballistic characteristics for typical operating conditions of space vehicles, and can be used at final master thesis works. The laboratory practice supports almost all questions reflected in the lecture courses on given discipline. The laboratory practice consists of three parts and two appendices. In the first part the laboratory practice concept is described, the sequence of solved problems, structure of the initial data describing space mission is in details stated. The initial data at practical work performance are design c haracteristics of the carrier rocket of space appointment, the requirement to the space vehicle, defining its special-purpose designation and technical characteristics (including parameters of a working orbit), the basic design characteristics of the space vehicle and its onboard systems. In the second part the description, and also the instruction on application o f progra m complex START for the analysis of use of the chosen type of the carrier rocket of space appointment (CRSA) for delivery of the set useful loading (space vehicle) to a launching orbit is resulted. Program complex START is written in language of high level JAVA. This language allows to create the convenient


interface and effectively to organize educational process not only in internal, but also in the remote form. In Appendix1 settlement techniques and models for the analysis of feasibility o f deducing of the set useful loading chosen CRSA are short stated and the sequence of performance of various types of tasks are described. In the third part the instruction on application of a specialized license package of applied progra ms STK (Satellite Tool Kit) for the system analysis of space missio n is resulted. This package is used for the analysis of following stages: - The analysis of the ballis tic scheme of flight in a regular mode of functioning of the space vehicle, - Estimations needed stock of fuel onboard the space vehicle, - The analysis of the ballistic scheme of flight in emergency operation. At the analysis of orbital stages following problems are solved: - A substantiation of a choice of type of a working orbit, - An estimation of an orbit evolution from action of Earth atmosphere (including calculation of the space vehicle existence time and etc.) and fro m Earth non-centra l gravitational field, - Calculation of space vehicle transfer maneuvers fro m a initial orbit into a working orbit, - Calculation of working orbit maintenance maneuvers (maintenance of the set height of flight, move ment maintenance in the set range of heights, a correcting of elements of an orbit) on an interval of time of active existence in an orbit, - Calculation of a line of flight and the auxiliary ballistic information (conditions of mutual visibility of the space vehicle and land point, operability of areas of a terrestrial surface from a board of the space vehicle, conditions of light exposure o f the space vehicle), - Calculation of a brake impulse, a point of its appendix and the characteristic of a n extra-atmospheric site of the flight previous descent of the space vehicle in atmosphere,


- A choice of demanded conditions of an input and movement calculation in atmosphere. In the Appendix 2 the basic theoretical positions are short stated and the sequence of performance of the various typical tasks connected with the analysis of separate stages of space mission is described. The especial attention is given skills of check of possibilities of flight control, planning of sessions of the tele meter information reception, an estimation of visibility conditions and light exposure of various areas of a terrestrial surface.

1.2 Sequence performance of the space mission analysis

1.2.1 Preparation of the initial data Before the beginning of performance of the space mission analysis it is required to fa miliarize with the initial data attentively. If para meters of a working orbit are not completely set, for exa mple, the orbit inclination, it is necessary to choose them independently on the base of a purpose designation of the space vehicle using mentioned below recommendations. The intermediate orbit of launching can be set by a set of elements or characteristics of the end of an active flight site in starting coordinate systems. On occasion it is required most to be calculated.


If the second form of the task of the initial data it is necessary to settle a n invoice by the resulted technique movement entry conditions in absolute geocentric coordinate system is accepted and to find elements of an launching orbit.

1.2.2 Analysis of the ballistic scheme of flight in a regular mode of functioning of the space vehicle

Calculation of movement of the space vehicle on the set interval in a launching orbit 1) the evolution of launching orbit, caused non-central gravity attractio n fields ( ) on time interval

2) the evolution of an orbit caused by influence of at mosphere ( ) on time interval .

3) the correction maneuver on maintenance of an launching orbit (for circular and near circular orbits - maintenance of flight height) and full expenses of characteristic speed are defined .

4) the flight trace of the space vehicle and the standard ballistic information (a zone of mutual visibility and light exposure of the space vehicle) ; - on an interval with use of progra m STK, thus coordinates of land

point get out of the initial data; - on an interval of two turns of flight - manually, thus as launching point gets out and geometrical characteristics of the review of a terrestrial surface are in addition calculated. 1.2.3 Analysis of maneuver of transition from a launching orbit into a working orbit (without phasing) Transition maneuver is determined in a class of two-pulse and threepulse energetically optimum maneuvers. In a case three-impulse maneuver the


apogee of a transitive elliptic orbit is limited fro m above from a condition not excess of time of transition of the set size .

In case the working orbit is elliptic, transition is carried out or in apogee, or in perigee. Thus settlement formulas of definition of impulses are deduce d independently with use of integrals of energy and the areas. Full expenses of characteristic speed and time of flight for each variant of transition are calculated.

1.2.4 Analysis of maneuver of rapprochement with an space station In the beginning maneuver of distant rapprochement (transition from a deducing orbit into a working orbit with phasing) is considered. The given calculation is carried out only for a transition case between circular orbits. If two-impulse flight the demanded corner of phasing is defined it is chosen as optimum. At the task of initial angular distance between the maneuvering space vehicle in an launching orbit and an orbiting station in a working orbit the waiting time to an establishment needed phasing corner on also is calculated. If it is chosen as optimum three-pulse be-elliptical flight the apogee of a transitive elliptic orbit from a condition phasing for the set initial corner of a mis match between space vehicles is defined needed velocity. Assuming that as a result of maneuver of distant rapprochement the space vehicle passes in a small vicinity of an orbiting station, finishing maneuver of a stage of rapproche ment pays off. It is considered that duration of rapprochement does not exceed a cycle time on an orbit. There is an optimum duration and parameters of maneuver fro m a condition of a minimalist of size of needed characteristic speed.


1.2.5 Analysis of correcting maneuvers for maintenance of a working orbit For a case of a circular orbit of deducing maneuver of maintenance of movement of the space vehicle in the set range of heights and longitudes o f the ascending node of an orbit in the set range of values pays off. For a case of an elliptic orbit of deducing correction maneuvers (in the assumption of their incoherence) separately for maintenance of height of a perigee, argument of a perigee, a longitude in the set interval of values according to the requirements formulated in the initial data. Frequency of carrying out of correction by calculation of evolution of an orbit is thus estimated, the quantity of maneuvers of correction and demanded expenses o f characteristic velocity on an interval of time of active existence Results of calculations are represented in the form of tab. 1 for a circular orbit and in the form of tab. 2 for an elliptic orbit. Table 1 Correction o f an element of an orbit Conditional frequency of correction per 1/days Expenses of characteristic speed for 1 correction in km/s Quantity of corrections on an interval Expenses of characteristic speed for an interval in km/s

H Full expenses of characteristic speed in km/s


1.2.6 Analysis of maneuvers at a stage of delivery of payload to the Earth Maneuvering at a stage of delivery of the information to the Eart h includes maneuver of transition of the space vehicle fro m a working orbit into a initial orbit and maneuver of braking for input realization in dense beds of atmosphere with the set conditions of an input. The maximum angle of entry on the module Approximately it is

possible to estimate for the set type of the capsule, substituting instead o f , , Their maximum permissible values. Thus speed of an

input is necessary equal ~8 km/s. The initial orbit is considered circular. If height of a initial orbit it

is set, parameters of transition maneuver. Then maneuver of a descent fro m a initial orbit pays off. If the height of a initial orbit is not set, it gets out of a condition o f minimization of full expenses of characteristic velocity on maneuver o f transition to a initial orbit and on maneuver of a descent from a initial orbit. The optimum height of a launching orbit can be in any image, for example, searching in the chosen range of heights.

1.2.7 Analysis of a de-orbiting stage to the Earth For chosen of a brake impulse of velocity and a corner of its

orientation and speed and an angle of entry in de nse at mosphere, angular range and flight time on an extra-atmospheric site are defined. Further on the set conditions of an input in atmosphere the decrease trajectory, considering that movement is carried out in a plane of a initial orbit at the maximum aerodyna mic quality. Performance of all restrictions on controllable characteristics o f movement is thus checked, and also rough co-ordinates of a point o f achievement by the landing of an Earth surface (without a movement site on a parachute). In case restrictions on a descent trajectory are not carried out; it is necessary to offer the measures providing their performance.


1.2.8 Calculation of full expenses of fuel on realization of considered space mission On the basis of results of calculation of characteristic velocity on all kinds of maneuvering received in the previous sections, tab.2 . The found full expenses of fuel of flight are compared to a fuel stock . If , then the considered ballistic scheme of flight is realizable on realization of the ballistic scheme available onboard the space vehicle:

also a fuel part it would be possible to translate in useful loading or to increase time of active existence of the space vehicle. In this case it is necessary estimate on how many days active existence of the space vehicle can to be prolonged.

If

that the given ballistic scheme is not realizable and it is

necessary to offer variants of performance target , for example, to estimate time of active existence of the space vehicle proceeding fro m available onboard fuel stocks, or to define weight of useful loading for which the accepted ballistic sche me of flight can be realized.

1.3 Analysis of supernumerary variants of realization of space mission In a practical work the pupil should estimate two possible emergencies. 1. After branch of the space vehicle fro m the carrier rocket it is not possible to establish communication with it (or correcting impellent installation) has failed and the space vehicle makes no directional passive move ment.


In this case it is necessary: - To count up time of existence of the space vehicle for the minimum, average and maximum indexes of solar activity, - To define height of a critical orbit, - To calculate and construct schedules of change of height of flight fro m time before achievement of critical height. After achieve ment of critical height which practically coincides conditional border of dense atmosphere, the space vehicle begins move ment on a flat trajectory in atmosphere where there should be its destruction. For the analysis of process of destruction it is necessary to know overloads and thermal streams at movement. (Space vehicle movement therefore pays off with not separated lowered part) in atmosphere till the falling mo ment to the Earth. Thus it is necessary that there is a ballistic descent (=0), and the angle of entry is accepted equal ~-0,1 . 2. At the final stage of flight after a descent of the capsule fro m an orbit the movement control syste m has failed. In this case the capsule rotatio n concerning a longitudinal axis and ballistic descent in atmosphere is carried out. Trajectory and controllable characteristics of movement (overloads and specific thermal streams) also calculated and move ment entry conditions (input conditions in atmosphere dense beds) get out on the basis o f recommendations. As a result of calculation of emergency operation requirements to a design of the space vehicle and its lowered part fro m the point of view of their self-liquidation should be formulated at a supernumerary situation (compulsory destruction or self-damage).

2.2. The description of the interface of the START program complex The START program complex (personal computer) supposes placing on the Internet for convenience of its use by pupils. As a result of any pupil can have access to modules of calculation of a launching trajectory. Besides the persona l computer allows establishing traditionally in a co mputer class on one computer, connected in a local network with other computers. At home page loading, the window for calculation of an atmospheric step opens, the screen copy is resulted in drawing 1. The left column contains the menu of the user with which help it is possible to choose an interesting kind of calculation, or to use additional functions such, as viewing of a full trajectory of the rocket, a choice flowing and viewing of a projection of a trajectory of flight of the rocket on card Google Maple. To see a full trajectory of flight, it is necessary to walk consistently on all modules of calculation of missile stages. At calculation of atmospheric steps the final data is automatically transferred to the initial data for calculation of an intermediate step (if the three-stage rocket) or in the initial data o f a finishing step (for the two-level rocket). Trajectory calculation begins with button "Modeling" pressing.

3 Instruction on application of program complex STK for the space missions analysis

The present instruction allows users to get skills, skills for creation and manage ment of objects in personal co mputer STK. The pupil will get acquainted with structure of static and dynamic elements of a database of personal co mputer STK and will learn to keep and take objects fro m this base. After creation o f various objects in personal co mputer STK the pupil will learn to "recover" the project to receive the information, time-dependent in a window «Map». In additio n forms of reception of reports in static and dyna mic forms are described.

3.1 Initial skills of work by STK

The folder in which it is established STK, contains a subdirectory «Tutorial» in which the information received during independent work of the pupil at mastering of the personal co mputer re mains all. The first basic step is creation of the educational scenario. As the scenario is called the object of the highest level in STK it includes a card and comprises all other objects (companions, navigating equip ment etc.). This section of the program of training acquaints with process of creation and saturatio n by the scenario information. When for the first time it is started STK, in a separate window opens «Startup Wizard».


For creation of the new scenario it is required to press the button which is to the left of a field «Create a New Scenario» in «Startup Wizard» as a result the card window opens. For scenario renaming it is necessary to press an icon to the left o f a name, appropriated to the scenario by default, then addressed to Scenario# in the main window. After that it is typed «Tutorial40» in the allocated text and butto n Enter is pressed. The main window is updated for display of a new name.


Before carrying out any problems in STK it is necessary to establish para meters Tutorial40 which will influence all aspects of the scenario, after its creation. For performance of the problems put at the initial stage, it is expedient to use the parameters described further. There is a possibility to change para meters of the scenario in program work. First of all it is necessary to install parameters of applications STK as a whole. These parameters of the highest level influence any object in the appendix, irrespective of the open scenario. For installation of para meters of the appendix it is necessary to be convinced that the main window of the program actively. Click on the menu «Properties» and choose «Basic» in the e merged window. As a result there will be a window of base parameters. Important often to keep the project for prevention of loss of the information. It is possible to use an option of the Car of preservation.

For convenience it is necessary to be convinced that the auto preservation period is equal to 5 minutes, points «Auto save» and «Save Vehicle Ephemeris» are


included, and points «Binary Format» and «Save Accesses» are switched off. Press key for acceptance of changes and window closing «Basic Properties». It is important to establish parameters not only at appendix level, but also in the scenario. It is necessary to establish the units of measure used throughout all work and as to establish necessary parameters of a drawing for convenience of display and perception of objects and schedules on the screen. Units of measure get out by allocation by a mouse of scenario Tutorial40 in the main window and pressing Basic in the appeared window of properties. For test change time of the beginning of the scenario on 1 Nov 1997 00:00:00.00 and time of its termination on 1 Nov 1997 04:00:00.00. Then press on "Animation".


To make sure that the period is set correctly, check up field Start Time o n Animation 1 Nov 1997 00:00:00.00, then press on Units.


For convenience, establish all units of measure ments how it is shown in the table. To change values by default, allocate an element interesting you, then choose correct value in a window «Change Unit Value». To choose an element from the list, allocate with a mouse this element. To remove allocation, once again click it with a mouse.

After the installation termination it is necessary to press the button APPRX. Drawing parameters operate information display to the screen and the possibilities accessible in window Map. To establish parameters of a drawing for own scenario, press the button of the panel of tools of a window of Mar. Properties of a card are responsible for information display: orbits, names of objects, lines and other information on the companion. In the table shown here, the option «Show Tool Bar» is included, and the option «Show Elevation Regions» is disconnected. For convenience, be convinced that options «Show Tool Bar», «Show Status Bar» and «Show Scroll Bars» are included, and the option «Show Elevation Regions option» is disconnected. After the termination, press on Details.


Further it is necessary to fill the scenario with various objects. It is expedient to begin with a choice and the task of placing of land stations, starting platforms and tracking stations. Press an icon «Facility icon» in the bottom part of the main window (when the cursor is directed at an icon in the bottom part of a window its value is highlighted). Change the object name, for example, on «Baikonur». At first it is necessary to allocate with double click of the mouse the old na me, and then to enter the new name in the allocated place. Pressing Enter carries out installation of a new name. As a result the Main window will be updated to display new object. In a window of the Card it will appear in a place with co-ordinates of 0 degrees of width and 0 degrees of a longitude. Further it is necessary to choose «Basic» from the menu «Properties» (or to press the right button of the mouse for menu occurrence in which it is possible to choose properties and tools for object). Installation of co-ordinates of object is carried out in the first Position windows Basic Properties. Coordinates set object position on a card.


For mastering check establish values on Position how it is shown more low, and be convinced that options Local Time Offset from GMT and Use Terrain Information are switched off.
