Convex Maneuver Planning for Spacecraft Collision Avoidance
- 将避撞问题转为凸半定规划,可快速求解全局最优
- 最小化推进能量,同时保证碰撞概率低于设定阈值
- 适合高密度低轨卫星的自主避撞系统使用
低地球轨道(LEO)卫星数量激增,使航天器碰撞预警与机动规划日益依赖人工,过程耗时。本文提出一种针对短期交会事件的低推力避撞机动算法。首先将问题建模为非凸二次约束二次规划(QCQP),通过Shor松弛转化为凸半定规划(SDP)。实验表明该松弛紧致,可恢复原非凸问题的全局最优解。算法在确保近距交会时刻碰撞概率满足目标的前提下,生成最小能量机动方案;若无法达标,则将约束转为惩罚项,获得最小风险解。通过高保真仿真验证,基于模拟交会数据消息(CDM)的场景下,本方法显著降低了碰撞风险。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Conjunction analysis and maneuver planning for spacecraft collision avoidance remains a manual and time-consuming process, typically involving repeated forward simulations of hand-designed maneuvers. With the growing density of satellites in low-Earth orbit (LEO), autonomy is becoming essential for efficiently evaluating and mitigating collisions. In this work, we present an algorithm to design low-thrust collision-avoidance maneuvers for short-term conjunction events. We first formulate the problem as a nonconvex quadratically-constrained quadratic program (QCQP), which we then relax into a convex semidefinite program (SDP) using Shor's relaxation. We demonstrate empirically that the relaxation is tight, which enables the recovery of globally optimal solutions to the original nonconvex problem. Our formulation produces a minimum-energy solution while ensuring a desired probability of collision at the time of closest approach. Finally, if the desired probability of collision cannot be satisfied, we relax this constraint into a penalty, yielding a minimum-risk solution. We validate our algorithm with a high-fidelity simulation of a satellite conjunction in low-Earth orbit with a simulated conjunction data message (CDM), demonstrating its effectiveness in reducing collision risk.
