| description | In this work, the preliminary analysis on both the tracking schedule and measurements characteristics for the spacecraft on
the phase of lunar transfer and capture is performed. To analyze both the tracking schedule and measurements characteristics,
lunar transfer and capture phases’ optimized trajectories are directly adapted from former research, and eleven ground
tracking facilities (three Deep Space Network sties, seven Near Earth Network sites, one Daejeon site) are assumed to
support the mission. Under these conceptual mission scenarios, detailed tracking schedules and expected measurement
characteristics during critical maneuvers (Trans Lunar Injection, Lunar Orbit Insertion and Apoap¬sis Adjustment Maneuver),
especially for the Deajeon station, are successfully analyzed. The orders of predicted measurements’ variances during lunar
capture phase according to critical maneuvers are found to be within the order of mm/s for the range and micro-deg/s for the
angular measurements rates which are in good agreement with the recommended values of typical measurement modeling
accuracies for Deep Space Networks. Although preliminary navigation accuracy guidelines are provided through this work,
it is expected to give more practical insights into preparing the Korea’s future lunar mission, especially for developing flight
dynamics subsystem. |
