    The hyperbolic orbit plane of the planetary gravity assist is determined by the entry speed and escape speed and based on two-body dynamics. The engagement and escape hyperbolic orbit's asymptotic angle are adjusted by the height at the near-planet point. Combined with the accelerating/braking speed increment near the planet, the direction of the escape velocity is determined. Based on the conversion algorithm between the heliocentric elliptical orbit and the planet's hyperbolic orbit, as well as the iterative algorithm for the height near the planet, the transfer orbit is quickly calculated, and the parameters of the approach/escape hyperbolic orbit are determined. By taking the 2015 XF261 asteroid defense as an instance, a Venus-assisted transfer orbit design is implemented, and the transfer orbit, the transfer duration and velocity increment requirements of the probe are presented. The simulation results show that rapid calculation of the analytical solution of the planetary gravity-assisted transfer orbits can significantly reduce the search time for transfer orbit.

    An intelligent forecasting model based on ensemble learning, named iTransformer-XGBoost, is proposed in this paper to address the issue of precision limitations of traditional time series prediction models. Firstly, the Pearson correlation coefficient is employed to select the key features affecting time series data and construct an optimized input dataset. Then, the iTransformer model is utilized to capture long-term dependencies within the time series and generate preliminary prediction results. Meanwhile, the XGBoost algorithm is introduced to achieve nonlinear modeling of the time series data. Finally, a threshold-based combination strategy is applied to the prediction results fusion of iTransformer and XGBoost, thereby determining the integrated output and improving overall forecasting performance. The model is validated by using photovoltaic power-related data, and the experimental results demonstrate that the proposed approach achieves higher accuracy and stability in time series forecasting compared with traditional methods. Furthermore, it shows great potential for application in aerospace photovoltaic scenarios.

    To address the issue of low test coverage caused by implicit test scenarios such as missing boundary conditions and exception handling in software requirement documents, a code-enhanced requirement analysis method is proposed. The code-requirement associations are established through the proposed method which is based on semantic vector similarity and LLM verification, and five types of implicit test scenarios (boundary conditions, error handling, resource management, state transitions and performance stress) are extracted from function call chains to enhance requirement descriptions, and the enhanced requirements are decomposed into test function points and scenario-driven test cases are generated. The results of experiments on open-source projects show that compared with the baseline method by using LLM directly, the significant improvements are achieved by using CERA method in comprehensive test quality and test requirement coverage, which maintains higher API test accuracy. The effectiveness of three core components: scenario extraction, two-stage matching strategy and BERT-based rough screening is verified through ablation experiments. The good adaptability on both parsing libraries and embedded systems is demonstrated by the results of proposed method applied that is particularly suitable for third-party testing and acceptance testing scenarios.

    The selection of stable spin angular velocity for aircraft is focused in this paper. A method for choosing a stable angular velocity based on the spin stability criterion of aircraft is researched and proposed. Through theoretical analysis of the coning motion dynamics of spinning vehicles, the coupled effects of static stability moment, Magnus moment, and damping moment on the directional stability of the projectile body are fundamentally revealed. Based on a coning motion angular dynamics model under the constraints of deviations between the center of mass and the center of pressure, a system characteristic equation is established and the Routh-Hurwitz stability criterion is then employed to formulate a dynamic stability criterion. Furthermore, on the basis of the traditional three-degree-of-freedom trajectory model, the derived dynamic stability criterion for coning motion is used to deduce the feasible region for the spin angular velocity. A stable spin rate scheme for the aircraft is subsequently designed based on this region. Numerical simulation results demonstrate that the coning motion divergence is effectively suppressed by using proposed method that simultaneously reduces control energy consumption in the pitch/yaw channels. The achievement presented hereinabove provide a technical pathway to directional stable flight with low-energy-consumption attitude control by applying the spin characteristics of aircraft, which can offer significant theoretical and practical value.

The simulation results show that the application of deep neural network can quickly predict initial state of orbit, and the prediction results have fairly smaller error intervals and can be applied to selection of optimal two-impulse transfer orbit.

    In order to achieve the synergy between periodic self-operation control and task-driven non-periodic random control, an intelligent attitude control method is proposed for launch vehicles, which is based on reinforcement learning model predictive control (RMPC). Firstly, a break point identification method based on time-frequency analysis is established to address the issue of switching requirements between periodic orbit maintenance and non-periodic maneuver adjustment during rocket flight. By monitoring the spectral characteristics of control command sequences in real-time, the transition boundary between periodic and non-periodic time processes is accurately located, which can serve as decision-making basis for control mode switching. Secondly, a RMPC framework integrating adaptive attention mechanism is proposed, which can dynamically adjust the prediction model structure and iterative optimization steps based on fuzzy neural network according to the type of control task, while ensuring prediction accuracy and controlling model complexity. Finally, an environment aware time-domain decision-making method is designed to enhance the adaptability of RMPC in complex environments by adaptively adjusting the predicted and control time domain lengths through online evaluation of external interference strength and system state uncertainty. The method is applied to closed-loop control simulation of typical flight scenarios of launch vehicles, and the experimental results show that trajectory tracking control precision can be maintained by using the proposed method in both periodic orbit maintenance phase and non-periodic maneuver phase.

    A specification and formal verification method is presented for dynamic failure modes in aerospace launch systems. The dynamic fault model designed through this approach enables real-time fault diagnosis systems in the aerospace field to possess diagnostic capabilities for complex and diverse fault characteristics. The dynamic fault models are represented by temporal facts, however, the complexity and abstract nature of temporal facts make them difficult to be validated through manual analysis or testing. By describing the semantics of temporal symptoms through temporal logic formulas, the correctness of the fault model is allowed to be verified through model checking methods. This verification process can be automated by using model checking tools. Moreover, the dynamic fault model does not require formal specifications, which allows domain experts to focus solely on domain-specific issues when constructing fault models. In aerospace engineering practice, the key properties of fault models through automated verification of model checking methods can provide domain experts with a reliable and verifiable mathematical approach for designing fault models.

    To address the issues of local minima and parameter sensitivity in the traditional artificial potential field (APF), as well as the slow convergence and low sample efficiency of deep reinforcement learning in UAV path planning in complex unknown environments, an adaptive path planning algorithm fusing proximal policy optimization (PPO) and improved artificial potential field (PPO-APF) is proposed.

Meantime, a composite reward function incorporating path smoothness with parameter stability is designed to suppress path jitter. Simulation results demonstrate that in complex scenarios with 22% obstacle coverage, the planning success rate of PPO-APF reaches 97.33%, which is significantly superior to the improved APF by 53.67% and pure reinforcement learning based PPO by 85%. The proposed algorithm takes advantage of a significant "cold start" mode, which effectively combines the adaptability of DRL with the stability of APF to realize UAV's autonomous learning of slow-down crossing on narrow passage and preemptive avoidance strategies, etc.

Firstly, a fixed-time controller based on the hyperbolic tangent function is designed to avoid the singularity issue in traditional fractional-order fixed-time controllers. Secondly, regarding handling system model uncertainties, a radial basis function neural network is employed for approximation, and a series-parallel estimation model is introduced to enhance estimation accuracy and convergence speed. On this basis, an "Identifier-Actor-Critic" framework is established, and an improved weight adaptive update law is designed to solve the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation, and a trade-off is achieved between tracking performance and control input. Finally, the fixed-time stability of this proposed method based on Lyapunov theory is proven, and numerical simulations are conducted to verify the effectiveness of the algorithm.

    According to tight coupling of DDS and flight control software in the scenarios of aerospace software, difficulty in perceiving the application layer state, and inflexibility of static QoS policy for data distribution service, the TSM-DDS framework is proposed, which is a kind of DDS-based communication service architecture for aerospace equipment applications. This architecture guarantees the high reliability of aerospace communication through a triple mechanism: 1) a dual-task inter-process communication architecture that enables the asynchronous decoupling of the control and communication domains; 2) a transaction management-based handshake and retransmission mechanism that achieves perceiving execution state at the application layer; 3) a dynamic traffic control policy that ensures the high reliability of control information in high-concurrency transmission scenarios. The simulation results demonstrate that the TSM-layer handshake and retransmission mechanism can accurately perceive the execution state of the peer application layer and effectively guarantees the execution reliability of control messages. Furthermore, in high-concurrency packet loss-prone environments, the transmission reliability of control messages can be effectively safeguarded by deploying the dynamic traffic control policy. Ultimately, the complex QoS configurations of DDS is simplified by the proposed framework that provides a reusable technical paradigm for the engineering implementation of DDS in the aerospace control domain.

    Aiming at the problems of resource heterogeneity, complex constraints and difficult dynamic scheduling in hybrid-architecture measurement and control systems, a dynamic resource scheduling method named MA-DRS based on multi-agent deep reinforcement learning is proposed. The multi-objective, multi-constraint scheduling problem is modeled as a Markov decision process, and a multi-agent collaborative framework based on centralized training and decentralized execution is designed. The key techniques such as heterogeneous feature embedding, prioritized experience replay and dynamic action masking are introduced to improve learning efficiency and decision-making rationality. Simulation experiment results show that, compared with fixed combination, rule-based scheduling, genetic algorithm and single-agent DQN, resource utilization rate, task completion rate, and response speed are significantly imporved by using this proposed MA-DRS method in the scenarios of normal, high-concurrency and fault-injection which demonstrates excellent adaptability and robustness. It can serve as an effective solution for intelligent scheduling in complex measurement and control systems.

    Regarding the investigation of a cluster of flight vehicles by using multi-stage solid rocket boosters, the research is implemented for the collaborative trajectory optimization. In order to facilitate the collaborative task during the re-entry phase and ensure the optimum energy performance of the cluster by eliminating individual state errors, a multi-layer collaborative trajectory optimization algorithm is proposed, which is based on the hp adaptive pseudo-spectral method. By designing different planning models in the top, middle and bottom layers, the algorithm achieves time-coordinated reentry. Firstly, a trajectory planning model is established, which is based on the flight characteristics of the booster phase, and sparse collocation points are used to determine the cluster's temporally coordinated interval. Then, the single-vehicle planning model is extended in dimension, and after introducing constraints on the rate of change of control variables, the hp adaptive pseudo-spectral method is applied to quick resolving for the desired terminal state. Finally, additional collocation points are incorporated for refined optimization. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method by enabling rapid and effective optimization of the flight vehicle cluster, which meets the requirements for collaborative trajectory planning.

Firstly, the RLV attitude tracking error model considering actuator effectiveness loss and bias faults is established. Then, a cascade and fused CDO is designed to accurately estimate the lumped disturbance.

The simulation results show that compared with existing methods, the tracking accuracy, convergence speed and control smoothness are significantly improved by using the proposed scheme which is under fault scenarios with extreme disturbances and verifies its superior fault-tolerant performance and robustness.

    Software factories can serve as key platforms for the efficient development of aerospace software. The dynamic interaction and real-time update of their frontend components have direct influence on development efficiency and resource utilization. Traditional fixed-time-interval refresh mechanisms are liable to cause resource waste or data latency issues, while existing semi-automatic adjustment methods struggle to adapt to complex scenarios in software factories, such as multiple component types, cross-network deployment and multi-environment deployment. An adaptive refresh algorithm is proposed for frontend components. The change values can be obtained by component differential comparison, and a CVI (Component volatility index)is established, which integrates short-term change trends with long-term average levels to quantify the volatility of business data, and scenario-specific adjustment strategies are designed. This algorithm can adapt to scenarios like multi-team collaboration and high-frequency component reuse, which effectively balances resource consumption and response efficiency and thus provides support for the efficient operation of software factories.

    A robust adaptive collaborative positioning algorithm is proposed to address the issue of ultra-wideband (UWB) ranging that is susceptible to interference from non-line-of-sight and multi-path effects on unmanned vehicle cluster collaborative positioning within global navigation satellite system-denied environments. Firstly, a robust random cut forest method is applied to perform anomaly detection by using the ranging innovation and the UWB first-path power ratio as input features, and a Huber weighting matrix based on UWB signal strength is established to correct abnormal ranging measurements.
