Aerospace Instrument-Making Annotation << Back INVESTIGATION OF THE POTENTIAL CAPABILITIES OF THE MOTION CONTROL SYSTEM OF THE SMALL SPACECRAFT UNDER CONDITIONS OF SIGNIFICANT UNCERTAINTY IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ORIENTATION MODES A.N. Pavlov, D.Ju. Kolesnik, A.V. Gordeev, V.N. Vorotyagin The creation of a domestic multi-satellite orbital grouping (OG) of small spacecraft (SSC) performing the tasks of observing objects on Earth revealed the problem of organizing their management with limited use of ground-based facilities. The use of artificial intelligence technologies remains relevant to ensure the autonomy, proactivity and efficiency of the use of both a separate spacecraft and the exhaust system as a whole. One of the options for managing a multi-satellite grouping of SSC is a multi-agent approach, where each "intelligent agent" evaluates its potential to perform a particular task. The article proposes an approach that allows us to determine integral reliability indicators for the study of the potential capabilities of the motion control and navigation system (MCNS) of the SSC as a complex object in the conditions of uncertainty of the operation modes. The implementation of an approach to assess the potential possibility of using orientation modes for various configurations of MCNS SSC vessels is presented and variants of the working configuration of functional elements are determined. Thus, the approach used to assess the potential capabilities of the MCNS SSC with probabilistic and logical modeling allowed us to take into account the structural-functional and structural-technological features of the system. Keywords: structural and functional analysis, integral performance indicators, intensity of involvement, parametric genome. DOI: 10.25791/aviakosmos.8.2023.1355 Pp. 23-37.
