Sensitivity Analysis for Key Payloads and Orbital Parameters from the Next-Generation Moon-Gradiometer Satellite Gravity Program
Tóm tắt
This research principally focuses on the requirements analysis in terms of the next-generation Moon-Gradiometer satellite gravity program. Firstly, the new single and combined analytical error models applied to estimate the accuracy of the lunar gravitational field (e.g., geopotential coefficients, cumulative geoid height and cumulative gravity anomaly) influenced by the main error sources consisting of the satellite gravity gradient and satellite orbital position are created for the next-generation Moon-Gradiometer program. Secondly, the dependability of the new single and combined analytical error models is validated by the conformity of the cumulative lunar geoid height errors between the gravity gradient and orbital position. Finally, taking the current GRAIL (Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory) satellite gravity mission for reference, the sensitivity analysis for the next-generation Moon-Gradiometer gravity satellite system is comprehensively carried out. We propose to equip this with the new-type pivotal payloads of the lunar spacecraft comprising the electrostatic suspension gravity gradiometer and the drag-free control system and bring forward the matching measurement precision of the space-borne instruments (involving 3 × 10−12/s2 in the gravity gradient and 60 m in the orbital position) and the preferred orbital parameters (including an orbital altitude of 25 km, an observation period of 28 days and a sampling interval of 1 s) in the next-generation Moon-Gradiometer program.
