Online measurement of atmospheric density based on space vehicle platform
In view of the high-altitude atmospheric density fluctuation and the difficulty to identify aerodynamic characteristics of the aircraft in orbit
a technical solution for atmospheric density measurement by lidar based on Rayleigh scattering principle was proposed. The online data of atmospheric density at different distances was acquired through the analysis of the laser backscattering Rayleigh optical cylinder
which was captured by the Electron-Multiplying Charge Coupled Device (EMCCD) in the measuring flow field based on the principle that the density of gas molecules is in direct proportion to Rayleigh scattering intensity. Furthermore the atmospheric density online measuring instrument was developed and calibrated. Experimental and calibration results show that the online measurement precision of atmospheric density is controlled within 5%. The instrument has a promising application in optimization of spacecraft appearance and improvement of aerodynamic identification.
