LEO: 1000 km Low launch cost/risk Short range Global coverage (not real time) Easy thermal environment Magnetic ACS Multiple small satellites / financial “chunks” Minimal propulsion GEO: 36,000 km Fixed GS Antenna Constant visibility from 1 satellite Nearly constant sunlight Zero doppler LEO vs. GEO Orbit Engin 176 Meeting #5

  6. Describing Orbits Kepler’s first law: All orbits are described by a Conic Section. rF + rF’ = constant Defines ellipse, circle, parabola, hyperbola rF’ rF F F’ Engin 176 Meeting #5

  7. Elliptical Orbit Parameters r’’ = G(M +m)/r2 (r/r) = -µ/ r2 (r/r) Two-Body equation v V (true anomaly) b r X F F’ c rp ra a Engin 176 Meeting #5

  8. Circles, Ellipses and Beyond Circle: Planets, Moons, LEOs, GEOs, Vcirc = [µ/r]1/2 Vesc =[2]1/2 Vcirc T = 2π (a3/µ)1/2 (kepler’s 3rd Law) Orbit elements: r, i (T, i) plus tp, q0… (epoch) Hyperbolic Asymptote r b v rp a Note to Orbital Racers: Lower means: - Higher velocity and - Shorter Orbit Period Engin 176 Meeting #5

  9. Circles, Ellipses and Beyond Ellipse: Transfer, Molniya, Reconnaissance orbits Comets, Asteroids Real Planets, Moons, LEOs, GEOs Kepler’s 2nd law e = c / a r = p / [1+ e cos(v)] Hyperbolic Asymptote r b v rp a c Orbit Elements: a (or p), e (geometry) plus ip= a(1-e2) Ω (longitude of ascending node) w (argument of periapsis, ccw from Ω) tp, q0… (epoch) Engin 176 Meeting #5

  10. Circles, Ellipses and Beyond Parabola: (mostly synthetic objects) Escape (to V∞= 0) V(parabola) = Vesc = [2p/r]1/2 Hyperbolic Asymptote r b v rp a c Hyperbola: (mostly synthetic objects Interplanetary & beyond Escape with V∞> 0 Planetary Assist (accelerate & turn) -> motion of M matters <- e = 1 + V2∞ rp/µ Engin 176 Meeting #5

  11. r = a (1-e2) / (1 + e cos n) Position, r, depends on: a (semi-major axis)e(eccentricity = c/a (= distance between foci /major axis) n (polar angle or true anomaly) 4 major type of orbits: circle e = 0 a = radius ellipse 0< e < 1 a > 0 parabola e = 1 a = ∞ (eq. above is useless) hyperbola e > 1 a < 0 2-Body 2-D Solution NB: 3 terms, a, e, v, completely define position in planar orbit - all that’s left is to define the orientation of that plane Engin 176 Meeting #5

  12. 3 elements (previous page) describe the conic section & position. a - semi-major axis - scale ( in kilometers) of the orbit. e - eccentricity - (elliptical, circular, parabolic, hyperbolic) v true anomaly - the angle between the perigee & the position vector to the spacecraft - determines where in the orbit the S/C is at a specific time. 3 additional elements describe the orbit plane itself i - inclination - the angle between the orbit normal and the (earth polar) Z-direction. How the orbit plane is ‘tilted’ with respect to the Equator. Ω - longitude or right ascension of the ascending node - the angle in degrees from the Vernal Equinox (line from the center of the Earth to the Sun on the first day of autumn in the Northern Hemisphere) to the ascending node along the Equator. This determines where the orbital plane intersects the Equator (depends on the time of year and day when launched). w, argument of perigee - the angle in degrees, measured in the direction and plane of the spacecraft’s motion, between the ascending node and the perigee point. This determines where the perigee point is located and therefore how the orbit is rotated in the orbital plane. The 6 Classical Orbit Elements* Engin 176 Meeting #5 *NB: Earth axis rotation is not considered

  13. 1-D: Example: mass + spring like the dynamic model of last week position (1 number) plus velocity (1 number) necessary 2-D: Example: air hockey puck or single ball on pool table X & Y position, plus Velocity components along X & Y axes 3-D: Example: baseball in flight Altitude and position over field + 3-D velocity vector Alternative Orbit determination systems GPS: Latitude, Longitude, Altitude and 3-D velocity vector Radar: Distance, distance rate, azimuth, elevation, Az rate, El rate Ground sitings: Az El only (but done at many times / locations) Breaking it down: Range R and Velocity V R X V=h angular momentum vector = constant dot prod. with pole to get i e2 = 1 + 2E(h/µ)2 where E = V 2 /2 - µ/r For sing=R . V/RV (g is flight path angle to local horizon): tanq = (RV 2/µ)singcosg / [ (RV 2 /µ)cos 2g - 1 ] Why 6 Orbit Elements? Engin 176 Meeting #5

  14. Must be geosynch at the equator (q=0) Orbit planes & inclination are fixed Knowing instantaneous position + velocity fully determines the orbit Orbit plane must include injection point and earth’s CG (hence the concept of a launch window) Dawn / Dusk orbit in June is Noon / Midnight in September Orbit facts You Already Know Escaping the solar system ¿So how do they do this? Engin 176 Meeting #5

  15. Orbital Trick #1: Orbit Transfer • Where new & old orbit intersect, change V to vector appropriate to new orbit • If present and desired orbit don’t intersect: Join them via an intermediate that does • Do V & i changes where V is minimum (at apogee) • Orbit determination: requires a single simultaneous measurement of position + velocity. GPS and / or ground radar can do this. Engin 176 Meeting #5

  16. Orbital Trick #2: Getting There • #1: Raise altitude from 0 to 300 km (this is the easy part) • Energy = mgh = 100 kg x 9.8 m/s2 x 300,000 m = 2.94 x 108 kg m2/ s2[=W-s = J] = 82 kw-hr = 2.94 x 106 m2/ s2 per kg ∆V = (E)1/2 = 1715 m/s • #2: Accelerate to orbital velocity, 7 km/s (the harder part) • ∆V (velocity) = 7000 m/s (80% of V, 94% of energy) • ∆V (altitude) = 1715 m/s • ∆V (total) = 8715 m/s(+ about 1.5 km/s drag + g loss) Note to Space Tourists: ∆V = gIsp ln(Mo/Mbo)=> Mbo / Mo = 1/ exp[∆V/gIsp])For Isp 420, Mbo = 10% Mo Engin 176 Meeting #5

  17. Orbital Trick #2’: Getting help? • Launch From Airplane at 10 km altitude and 200 m/s • #1: Raise altitude from 10 to 300 km • Energy = mgh = 100kg x 9.8 m/s2 x (300,000 m - 10,000 m) ∆V = (E)1/2 = 1686 m/s (98% of ground based launch ∆V) (or 99% of ground based launch energy) • #2: Accelerate to 7 km/s, from 0.2 km/s ∆V (velocity) = 6800 m/s (97% of ground ∆V, 94% of energy) • ∆V (∆H) = 1686 m/s (98% of ground ∆V, 96% of energy) • ∆V (total, with airplane) = 8486 m/s + 1.3 km/s loss = 8800 m/s • ∆V (total, from ground) = 8715 m/s + 1.5 km/s loss = 9200 m/sVelocity saving: 4%Energy saving: 8%Downsides: Human rating, limited dimension & mass, limited propellant choices, cost of airplane (aircraft doesn’t fully replace a stage) Engin 176 Meeting #5

  18. Orbital Trick #3: Sun Synch • Earth needs a belt:it is 0.33% bigger (12756 v. 12714 km diameter) in equatorial circumference than polar circumference • Earth’s shape as sphere + variations. Potential, U is: U(R, q, f) = -µ/r + B(r, q, f) => U = -(µ/r)[1 - ∑2∞(Re/r)nJnPn (cosq)]Re = earth radius; r = radius vector to spacecraftJn is “nth zonal harmonic coefficient”Pn is the “nth Legendre Polynomial”J1 = 1 (if there were a J1)J2 = 1.082 x10-3J3 = -2.54 x10-6J4 = -1.61 x10-6 Engin 176 Meeting #5

  19. Orbital Trick #3: Sun Synch (continued) Extra Pull Nodal Regression, how it works, and how well Intuitive explanations:#1: Extra Pull causes earlier equator crossing #2: Extra Pull is a torque applied to the H vector Equator Extra Pull Engin 176 Meeting #5

  20. Remote Sensing: Favors polar, LEO, 2x daily coverage (lower inclinations = more frequent coverage). Harmonic orbit: period x n = 24 (or 24m) hours (n & m integer) LEO Comms: Same! - multiple satellites reduce contact latency. Best if not in same plane. Equatorial: Single satellite provides latency < 100 minutes; minimum radiation environment • Sun Synch: Dawn/Dusk offers Constant thermal environment & constant illumination(but may require ∆V to stay sun synch) Elliptical: Long dwell at apogee, short pass through radiation belts and perigee... Molniya. Low E way to achieve max distance from earth. MEO: Typically 10,000 km. From equator to 45 or more degrees latitude GEO Ordinary Orbits Engin 176 Meeting #5

  22. 4 position vectors => 4 pseudo path lengths Solve for 4 unknowns: - 3 position coordinates of user - time correction of user’s clock GPSin 1 slide Freebies - Atomic clock accuracy to user - Velocity via multiple fixes Engin 176 Meeting #5

  23. Nodes: ascending, descending, line of nodes True Anomaly: angle from perigee Inclination (0, 180, 90, <90, >90) Ascension, Right Ascension Conjunction = same RA (see vernal eq) Argument of perigee (w from RA) Declination (~= elevation) Geoid - geopotential surface Julian Calendar: 365.25 days Gregorian: Julian + skip leap day in 1900, 2100… Ephemerides Frozen Orbits (sun synch, Molniya) Periapsis, Apoapsis Vernal Equinox (equal night) Solstice Ecliptic (and eclipses) Siderial Terminator Azimuth, Elevation Oblate / J2 Termspinning about minor axis(earth) Prolate: spinning about major axis (as a football) Precession: steady variation in h caused by applied torque Nutation: time varying variation in h caused by applied torque Non-Obvious Terms Engin 176 Meeting #5
