Simulation of the Cluster-Spacecraft Floating Probe Potential
IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science, 2006In this paper, a numerical model of the Cluster-spacecraft electric potential has been developed and validated. This model provides a good fit to the plasma density as a function of spacecraft chassis potential relative to a Langmuir probe as recorded along the Cluster-spacecraft orbit when the plasma density was between 1 and 80 cm -3 during a ...

Basic Study of Spacecraft Plug Cluster Nozzle
47th AIAA/ASME/SAE/ASEE Joint Propulsion Conference & Exhibit, 2011We choose a plug cluster nozzle targeting use with geostationary satellites, from the perspective of installation restrictions on rockets and performance improvement. The flow properties were determined via tests and analysis using a feasibility sample scale model plug cluster nozzle, the expansion area ratio e of which was 150.

Decentralized autonomous planning of cluster reconfiguration for fractionated spacecraft
Acta Astronautica, 2016Abstract Autonomous cluster operation such as cluster reconfiguration is one of the enabling technologies for fractionated spacecraft. By virtue of the multi-agent system theory, this paper presents an organizational architecture for fractionated spacecraft, which not only enables autonomous cluster operations but also facilitates its non-traditional

Nodal distance distributions in cluster flight spacecraft network
Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, 2020The high‐speed flight of cluster flight spacecraft modules increases the uncertainty of network topology. In order to better design the orbital of the cluster flight spacecraft and improve the performance of cluster flight spacecraft network (CFSN), this paper studies the nodal distance distributions (NDDs).

HIGH PERFORMANCE PROCESSING CLUSTER FOR REMOTE SENSING SPACECRAFTS
Journal of Rocket-Space Technology, 2021Recently, there has been a tendency to complicate real time control algorithms, to process a large amount of information from the satellite payload (optical, radar, communication systems) directly on board and to create highly informative communication lines with both ground stations and other satellites.

Feasibility checks and control laws for reconfigurations of spacecraft clusters
2012 American Control Conference (ACC), 2012A multi-spacecraft system consists of wirelessly-connected spacecraft that share resources in Earth orbit or deep space. One of the enabling technologies of such a fractionated space architecture is cluster flight, which provides the cluster with the capability to perform a cluster scatter and regather maneuvers to rapidly evade debris-like threats or ...

Analysis of Cluster spacecraft potential during active control
Advances in Space Research, 2005Abstract The floating potential of a spacecraft is determined by an equilibrium between photo-electron emission from the sunlit spacecraft surfaces and the plasma electron current, while other currents play a secondary role. On the Cluster spacecraft, the presence of the experiment ASPOC to control the potential by an ion beam with currents up to ...
