Development of a Simulation-Predictive Model for Thrust Control of the Electric Rocket Engine of a Spacecraft in Low Earth Orbit
摘要
This study investigates the stability of atmospheric parameters and introduces a method for their prediction. The research substantiates the feasibility of modeling the impact of aerodynamic drag forces on a spacecraft in low Earth orbit through the analysis of empirical atmospheric data from the Mass Spectrometer Incoherent Scatter model. The study also highlights the effect of the Earth’s non-uniform gravitational field on spacecraft movement in low Earth orbit. Additionally, it presents a method for determining the cyclogram of an electric rocket engine to fully compensate for aerodynamic drag forces, accounting for gravitational potential fluctuations’ impact on the projections. A verification calculation is conducted for the Gravity Field and Steady-State Ocean Circulation Explorer spacecraft.
