Abstract

Abstract : On the basis that satellites given fixed count and orbit elements can be served in bounded time when an on-orbit serving mission order is set at any uncertain time in a given time interval, the deployment of on-orbit service vehicle (OSV) serving satellites becomes a complex multiple nested optimization problem, and the essence of deployment is to determine the count and orbit elements of OSVs. In consideration of the characteristics of this deployment problem, we propose a fuzzy adaptive particle swarm optimization (FAPSO) algorithm to solve this problem. First, on the basis of double pulse rendezvous hypothesis, a transfer optimization model of a single OSV serving multiple satellites is established based on genetic algorithm (GA), and this is used to compute the indexes of the subsequent two optimization models. Second, an assignment optimization model of OSVs is established based on the discrete particle swarm optimization (DPSO) algorithm, laying the foundation of the next optimization model. Finally, the FAPSO algorithm, which improves the performance of PSO algorithm by adjusting the inertia weight, is proposed to solve the deployment problem of multiple OSVs. The simulation results demonstrate that all optimization models in this study are feasible, and the FAPSO algorithm, which has a better convergence result than that obtained using the other optimization algorithms, can effectively solve the deployment problem of OSVs.
