Abstract

The navigation system of lunar lander are composed of various navigation sensors which have a complementary characteristics such as inertial measurement unit, star tracker, altimeter, velocimeter, and camera for terrain relative navigation to achieve the precision and autonomous navigation capability. The required performance of sensors has to be determined according to the landing scenario and mission requirement. In this paper, the specifications of navigation sensors are investigated through covariance analysis. The reference error model with 77 state vector and measurement model are derived for covariance analysis. The mission requirement is categorized as precision exploration with 90m($3{\sigma}$ ) landing accuracy and area exploration with 6km($3{\sigma}$ ), and the landing scenario is divided into PDI(Powered descent initiation) and DOI(Deorbit initiation) scenario according to the beginning of autonomous navigation. The required specifications of the navigation sensors are derived by analyzing the performance according to the sensor combination and landing scenario.

달 착륙선의 항법 시스템은 자율 정밀 항법 성능을 확보하기 위해 관성측정기와 별추적기, 고도계, 속도계, 지형상대항법 카메라 등 다양한 항법용 전장부품으로 구성되는데 착륙선의 착륙 시나리오와 임무 요구 성능에 따라 적합한 성능의 항법용 전장부품 선정이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 달 착륙선에 요구되는 항법용 전장부품의 사양을 공분산해석을 통해 분석하였다. 77차 상태변수로 구성되는 기준 시스템 오차모델과 센서의 측정모델을 정의하고 착륙선의 임무 요구 성능은 90m($3{\sigma}$) 착륙 위치 정확도를 요구하는 정밀탐사 임무와 6km($3{\sigma}$)의 착륙 오차가 허용되는 영역탐사 임무로 구분하였다. 자율항법 시작 시점에 따라 PDI(Powered descent initiation)와 DOI(Deorbit initiation) 시나리오로 나누고 항법용 전장부품의 조합과 착륙 시나리오에 따른 성능 분석을 통해 가상의 임무 요구 성능을 만족하기 위한 항법 시스템의 요구사양을 도출하였다.
