    Aiming at the practical engineering problems of complex spacecraft operation environment and unknown errors in ground modeling, a method of modeling spacecraft control system by fusing mechanism and data is proposed based on the idea of digital twin. The deviation between mechanistic models and physical entities is modeled by mining information from ground test data and in orbit telemetry data through LSTM networks. Then the mechanistic models and data driven models are combined to obtain highly accurate systemlevel and component –level models. Simulation results of typical components of spacecraft control systems show that the model constructed by this modeling method can provide more accurate portrayal of multi dimensional characteristics, effectively improve the accuracy of control system modeling, which lays an important foundation for accurate performance evaluation and intelligent health management of spacecraft control systems in orbit.

    Autonomous orbit determination for a two satellite system with modelling errors is concerned in this paper.The performance of the autonomous orbit determination system is greatly affected by these errors in the dynamic model.One way to deal with these errors is treating them as unknown biases and estimating them with dynamic states together. Based on k order local weak observability theory, sufficient and necessary conditions of k order local weak observability are mathematically proved for the orbit determination system with modelling errors. The Extended Kalman Filter is applied to estimate the orbital states and systematic errors simultaneously.Simulation results show that the estimation algorithm is effective when the modeling errors are constant or slow time varying vectors.

    For space robotic manipulation, multi view cameras are generally used to provide visual information guidance for the robotic arm. In such a configuration, the global camera guides the long distance operation while the local camera guides the proximity operation. To increase the autonomy level of multi view visual information utilization, a novel method called multi view visual goal generation is proposed in this paper, which adopts a hierarchical architecture. The goal generator maps the multi view input images to visual goals expressed in SE(3) space.Furthermore, a multi view goal decision mechanism is established according to the relative error of the generated visual goal. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method can respond quickly (>30 fps) to numerous manipulation objects at different scales, and meanwhile show the robustness to static and dynamic image occlusion. The capability on long sequence complex manipulation tasks with visuo tactile integration is also verified.

    Aiming at the modeling and control problems of the continuum robot due to its innate nonlinear dynamics and infinite degrees of freedom, an improved modeling method is proposed to avoid singularities, which produce pathological behaviors mainly on straight configuration. A novel control strategy that can effectively reject external or internal disturbance is designed. First, kinematics and dynamics models of the continuum robot are built based on a proposed improved parameterization, which can solve the motion singularity. Then, a reduced order linear extended state observer is designed to observe and compensate the uncertainties and external disturbances of the inaccurately modeled system, and reduce the peak phenomenon. Finally, a tailored controller is designed to form a control loop. The convergence of the observer is proved based on the Lyapunov theory. Compared with the aforementioned method with the sliding mode control, the experimental results show that the proposed method can better integrate prior knowledge, without wasting model information, and achieve stronger robustness and disturbance rejection capabilities.

    The problem of maintaining control is investigated for the hybrid propulsion spacecraft formation around the planet centered displaced orbit. Firstly, the dynamics model of spacecraft formation near a planetary suspension orbit is established, and then the relative motion equation of spacecraft formation is derived via linearizing the model. In terms of control strategy, an integral sliding mode formation flight controller is designed, which can maintain and control formation configuration via adjusting the size of solar pressure and inter satellite Coulomb force. The controller has the characteristics of fast response and little dependence on system model. Finally, the numerical simulation shows that the proposed control method can achieve formation keeping control near the hovering orbit of the planet under the condition of disturbance.

    An underactuated Control method is proposed for the stabilization control of the postcapture combination with state constraints. First, On the basis of establishing the dynamic model of the tethered system, the auxiliary function is designed to ensure the state constraints, and an underactuated controller is designed based on the energy method. Then, it is mathematically proved that the system state satisfies the constraints and can converge to the expected value. Finally, the designed controller is verified by simulation and compared with the traditional hierarchical sliding mode controller. The simulation results show the superiority of the designed controller with smaller attitude angle change range, less convergence time and higher control accuracy during the control process.

    High value failed satellites are key targets for in orbit service and generally have large flexibility and residual angular momentum. Using robotic arms to directly capture the target has the risk of collision. If the contact detumbling is used to reduce the target angular velocity in advance, the success rate of the service satellite to capture the target can be greatly improved. Aiming at the problem of contact detumbling control of non cooperative failed satellites with flexible vibrations, a flexible vibration suppression method based on the characteristic model is proposed. Firstly, the characteristic model of the flexible vibration angular velocity is established based on the contact dynamic equation. Then the adaptive flexible vibration suppressor based on the characteristic model is designed. Finally, the numerical simulation is carried out. The simulation results show that the method can effectively suppress the flexible vibration of the target during the detumbling process.

    Due to the limitation of system resources, the embedded operating system in the spacecraft does not have the file system module. The system task completes the reading and writing of external storage devices by directly calling the I/O interface. However, with the complexity of space missions, the equipment without a file system will have a large performance bottleneck. Therefore, the development of a safe and reliable file system is an urgent issue for space embedded systems. The space embedded operating system is a typical safety critical system, and every module integrated in the system needs to undergo rigorous testing to ensure that it will not cause malfunctions during operation. The use of formal verification technology can strictly guarantee the correctness of a certain system module mathematically. Therefore, the formal technology is used to verify the correctness of its internal logic according to the requirements of space vehicle file system in this paper.

    For the high-precision control of Lorentz-force magnetically levitated rotary joints, the translational-rotational decoupling control method and its optimization method are proposed, which improve the stability and control performance of the system. The dynamics of the rotary joints is modeled according to the rotor dynamics, and the system is determined to be fully controllable according to the controllability rank criterion of the linear time-varying system. We design a decoupling controller, and optimize the controller by adding a phase compensator, which can make the closedloop dominant pole of the system shift to the left. The changes of control performance of the control system before and after optimization are compared by simulation analysis and experimental verification. The results show that the proposed optimization method of decoupling control can effectively improve the stability and dynamic performance of the magnetically levitated rotary joints control system, and the system regulation time is shortened by 50%, while the overshoot is reduced by 12%. The optimization effect is relatively obvious.

    The data-based fault diagnosis method has become a key research direction in the current fault diagnosis field due to its excellent engineering applicability; but the training of its algorithm model generally requires sufficient sample data, so it is difficult to solve the diagnosis problem lacking of fault samples. Aiming at the problem of satellite attitude control system (ACS) fault diagnosis when the target satellite has no fault samples, a fault location technology based on DDC (deep domain confusion) transfer learning algorithm improvement is proposed. Firstly, nominal satellite attitude information is reconstructed by the longshort term memory auto encoder (LSTM-AE) network and its residuals are calculated. Secondly, the features of extraction are trained into the BP network fault location classifier. Thirdly, the DDC transfer learning algorithm is introduced: a domain adaptation layer and modification of the loss function are added to classifier network to learn the health and fault characteristics of the target satellite and improve the algorithm model. Finally, through the semi-physical simulation platform of the threeaxis air bearing table, the effectiveness of the fault location technology improved by the introduction of DDC migration learning is verified.

    In order to make the stepper motor reach the rated speed or target angle as soon as possible and avoid out of step, it is necessary to design the acceleration and deceleration profiles, such as trapezoid, S shape and so on. The traditional method of fixed design speed curve is only suitable for the situation that the target position, direction, initial speed, maximum limited speed and acceleration of the stepper motor have been determined in advance and will not be changed before the motor reaches the target position. In many applications of stepper motor, sometimes it is necessary to modify the operation parameters temporarily, and sometimes the initial speed cannot be determined in advance. At this time, it is necessary to modify the designed speed curve temporarily, which is very complex. In this paper, the tracking differentiator method based on ADRC theory is used to solve the problem of frequently modifying the speed curve. The method can optimize the complexity of the algorithm and reduce the amount of calculation. The algorithm is verified on STM32 micro controller, and has been applied in the control of manipulator driven by stepper motor.

    In order to meet the requirement of inserting the oil gun into the incendiary agent and oxidant injection port at the same time during the orbital filling process of the space manipulator,a compliance control method of manipulator is proposed. The proposed method can meet the requirement that two relatively independent structural parts on the same part contact the shaft hole at the same time in the process of plug in control. First, the insertion and extraction process and contact state of the biaxial hole are analyzed; then, a compliance controller based on impedance control is designed, which realizes the smooth and autonomous cooperation of the plugging process under the action of contact force feedback; finally, the application effect of the compliance control method is verified by simulation experiments.The compliance control method proposed in this paper has practical value and application prospect under the requirements of specific space operation environment. This method provides a certain theoretical and application basis for the remote operation of space on orbit service robotic arms and the development of intelligent operation technology.
