Research Review on Orbital Application Platform of Launch Vehicle Upper Stage
Regarding the issue of how to turn wasted launch vehicle upper stages into treasure,the orbital application platform based on launch vehicle upper stage was summarized in this paper.The system composition,working mode and current research status at home and abroad were introduced in detail.Moreover,the key technologies including precise passivation technology for large inertia upper stage,overall technology for lightweight orbital application platform of upper stage,reasonable layout technology under multiple constraints for orbital application platform and standardized payload design and test technology were put forward.Further,the future of orbital application platform was prospected.It is recommended to increase the deployment opportunity of orbital application platform of upper stage,gradually promote its wide application on launch vehicles,and gradually improve its capabilities according to the concept of"attitude determination,attitude adjustment and orbit con-trol",so as to facilitate the large-scale application of orbital application platform.
