Outline of Research at the Start |
惑星の衛星探査における工学的課題の一つは「探査機がいかに衛星近傍に滞在するか?」である。燃料節約や衛星観測のため衛星を周回して近傍に滞在したいが、衛星周辺では、主天体の重力や衛星のデコボコな形状によるいびつな重力場などの外乱にさらされ、力場が複雑である。そこで本研究では、同じくデコボコな小天体への着陸に成功したはやぶさ2の運用データを積極的に活用し、小天体周回軌道といびつな重力場の関係性を解明して、衛星重力場に適用することで、実運用に耐えうる衛星周回軌道の設計・誘導制御方法を確立する。

Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we proposed practical design and guidance control methods for quasi-satellite orbit, QSO, which are attracting attention in planetary satellite exploration, and demonstrated their usefulness by numerical analysis. Design methods and guidance of orbit maintenance for stably staying in QSO even under perturbation by full ephemeris were derived. Through the analysis of orbital operation of Hayabusa2, we deepened our knowledge of instability in low-altitude orbit, and also devised an orbit transition method to solve the instability in a specific low-altitude region of QSO, and evaluated operational safety. Finally, we demonstrated the QSO guidance law including not only the orbital dynamics but also the spacecraft system, which simultaneously optimizes the orbital stability and power, and presented a multifaceted and practical QSO utilization policy.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究の学術的意義は、円制限三体問題下で定義される第2天体回りの周回軌道、QSOを、実際の天体の摂動を考慮した上で維持できるよう拡張している点である。天体力学を精緻化することで起こる、QSO維持や遷移での不安定性の問題の解決策を提示し、数値的に実証した。また今後探査の機会増加が見込まれる火星衛星や木星衛星における滞在方法を、QSOの力学的安定性、探査機システム安全性、省燃料性、観測性の観点で整理した点において、社会的意義がある。
