Cislunar simulation system design

  • Abstract:
    • Purpose: Cislunar orbits are characterized by long periods, strong chaos, and high sensitivity to perturbations. Cislunar situational awareness missions exhibit significant dynamic variability and uncertainty, urgently requiring advanced virtual simulation, test-bedding, and AI techniques for scientific research and experimental verification.
    • Method: Focused on cislunar situational awareness mission design and analysis, and guided by service-oriented, standardized, domestic, and tool-based principles, this paper designs a three-layer intelligent simulation system architecture — "infrastructure support + service support + typical applications" — based on container cloud + microservices. Key technologies including a cislunar orbital dynamics model library, Kubernetes-based intelligent computing task scheduling, and a full-link microservice integration framework are analyzed.
    • Result: A cislunar situational awareness mission design and analysis simulation system was developed, covering scenario design, situational awareness system design and analysis, mission planning, system-of-systems simulation, experiment design, and experiment evaluation modules.
    • Conclusion: Application cases demonstrate that the simulation system can effectively support users in forward design and iterative optimization of cislunar missions. Under high-precision ephemeris models, 15-year resident orbit integration achieves minute-level computational performance, demonstrating efficiency, intelligence, stability, and good extensibility.
