Autonomous Navigation Based on Dynamical Substitutes in the Earth-Moon System Under the Full Force Model

A new type of navigation system that meets the navigation requirements of deep space exploration missions with strong autonomous operation capability has become an urgent need. This paper proposes a new type of navigation constellation which has the characteristics of long-term stability under the full force model. Previously, we have studied that the orbits of the navigation constellation can be determined autonomously using the inter-satellite range data. As a continuation of the previous study, this article mainly studies the autonomous navigation performance of the navigation constellation under the actual force model. Here, the lunar probe’s mission of the Earth-Moon transition section is taken as an example, the observation data is inter-satellite ranging. When the ranging error is 1 m, the navigation constellation realizes autonomous navigation of the earth-moon transition section detector, and the navigation accuracy is within 1 m. The accuracy requirements are met. The current study can be used when deploying the navigation constellation in the Earth-Moon system.
