Research on asymmetric spatial heterodyne spectroscopy for velocimetry navigation

Abstract

The further development of deep space exploration contributes to the exploration of the universe and the origin and evolution of life on Earth, and is a prerequisite and foundation for the development and utilization of space resources. Autonomous navigation of deep space probes, one of the key technologies for deep space exploration, can significantly reduce ground support costs and improve the autonomous operation, management, and on-orbit survivability of deep space probes. Among them, autonomous astronomical navigation methods based on velocity measurements directly measure velocity information, effectively avoiding the impact of using calculus to solve velocity on response time and navigation accuracy in navigation methods based on angle and distance measurements. The passive radial velocity measurement technique of asymmetric spatial heterodyne spectroscopy has the advantages of compact structure, large luminous flux, and multiple spectra detected simultaneously. Taking the Sun as the navigation target source, we carried out the selection of observational spectral lines and the parameter design of the velocimetry navigation system, designed the calculation of phases for the absorption characteristic line under the complex polychromatic strong background, carried out the simulation analysis of velocimetry under the typical relative velocimetry.
