基于SpaceX技术路线的重复使用火箭传感器系统分析与展望

Analysis and Prospect of Reusable Rocket Sensor System Based on SpaceX's Technical Route

  • 摘要: 重复使用火箭是实现航天运输低成本化、高频次化和可持续化的关键技术路径,其核心挑战在于动力控制、精准着陆、热防护与快速维护,而这些环节高度依赖高可靠性、高精度、强鲁棒性的传感器系统。基于此,聚焦美国太空探索技术公司(SpaceX)重复使用火箭技术,系统梳理其在飞行控制、姿态导航、结构健康管理及回收着陆等关键阶段所应用的传感器体系。综合分析相关研究成果及SpaceX公开专利,推演出猎鹰9号(Falcon 9)与星舰系统中惯性测量单元(Inertial Measurement Unit,IMU)、全球定位系统(Global PositioningSystem,GPS)、压力与应变传感器等核心设备的硬件规格与技术架构。研究表明,基于SpaceX技术路线的传感器系统采用“高可靠性商用器件+高度定制化软硬件融合”的混合模式,实现覆盖全生命周期的多源传感融合网络,能够在保障任务安全的前提下显著降低系统成本。未来,智能集成化、微型化、自修复与无线供能等新兴技术将进一步推动传感器系统向感知—认知—决策—执行闭环演化。

     

    Abstract: Reusable rocket is a key technical path to achieving low-cost, high-frequency, and sustainable space transportation. The core challenges lie in power control, precise landing, thermal protection, and rapid maintenance, all of which highly rely on sensor systems with high reliability, high precision, and strong robustness. Based on this, focusing on the reusable rocket technology of the American SpaceX company, this paper systematically reviews the sensor systems applied in key stages such as flight control, attitude navigation, structural health management, and recovery landing. By comprehensively analyzing relevant research results and SpaceX's publicly available patents, the hardware specifications and technical architectures of core devices such as Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs), Global Positioning Systems (GPS), pressure and strain sensors in the Falcon 9 and Starship systems are deduced. The research shows that the sensor system based on SpaceX's technical route adopts a hybrid model of "high-reliability commercial components + highly customized software and hardware integration", achieving a multi-source sensor fusion network covering the entire life cycle, which can significantly reduce system costs while ensuring mission safety. In the future, emerging technologies such as intelligent integration, miniaturization, self-repair, and wireless power supply will further promote the evolution of sensor systems towards a closed loop of perception-cognition-decision-execution.
