For higher reliability, higher efficiency and easier maintenance, three TVC actuators for a hydrolox launch vehicle block are studied comparatively, in aspects of designs, models and testing performances, namely, a Servo-Valve Controlled Electro-Hydraulic Actuator (SHA), an Electro-Mechanical Actuator (EMA) and an Electro-Hydrostatic Actuator (EHA), each outputting a peak power of 3 kW. A fully packaged duplex EHA design is proposed, lightweight and compact by means of innovating indepth integrations in the actuator, Electro-Hydrostatic Module (EHM), Servo Motor Pumps (SMPs) and Electronic Control Units (ECUs). The weight of a TVC system with four EHAs is 85 kg, reduced by 37%, compared to the SHA counterpart of 135 kg. The dynamic capability of three TVC actuators is almost on a par, with the first-order frequency bandwidth of greater than 30 rad/s. As to the overall efficiency of energy conversion, it is one order of magnitude higher for an EMA or an EHA than a SHA. In an operation profile on ground with a duration of 1 200 s, the efficiency is lowest for an SHA, less than 1%, and heated quickly, with the temperature reaching over 100 ℃ at the hydraulic pump. In contrast, as to the EMA and EHA,the efficiency is remarkably upgraded to over 20%, with the temperature only slightly increasing by 5 ℃ at the pump or the electric motor. It demonstrates that an EHA embodies both the heavy loading, high reliability of a SHA, and the high efficiency, good maintenance of an EMA, at the same time overcoming the weak points in dynamics, power density, oil sealing, etc., providing an intriguing option for highly reliable and secure launch vehicles. The EHA has finished its maiden flight as the first one for launch vehicles.

To address the issues of penetration and precision attacking for air-to-air missiles, an analytical solution for the miss distance of a non-zero-order guidance system is derived. The solution is then extended to advanced guidance laws beyond proportional navigation guidance. Based on these results, the effectiveness of evasion under different maneuvering strategies is analyzed which theoretically explaining the typical characteristics of miss distances in step and serpentine maneuvers and factors influencing the optimal maneuvering strategy are studied. Through reasonable adjustment of maneuver timing and direction, the effectiveness of evasion is improved. Furthermore, considering the integration of penetration and attacking through intelligent guidance laws, an adaptive-stepsize sparsified sampling prior model theory infusion remedial training agent learning (ASTRAL) is introduced. Simulation results show that the missile agent trained with the ASTRAL can effectively evade defender while maintaining its attacking capability during penetration. In addition, the generated guidance law demonstrates good engineering feasibility.

With the increasing frequency of human space activities, there are surviving debris of re-entry spacecraft and debris that impact the Earth's surface, causing typical damage cases and affecting the future technological development of spacecraft. Firstly typical re-entry damage cases and disposal methods of foreign spacecraft that have attracted significant social attention are analyzeds. Secondly the main international norms and standards for re-entry casualty risk are introduced. Then those assessment methods of re-entry casualty risk are studied together with re-entry risk analysis tools of NASA and ESA. Finally it's looked forward to the furture development and existing problems of major space powers in the technical directions of active deorbit, assisted deorbit, large-scale reentry, and reusable spacecraft. Research shows that although the re-entry casualty risk of spacecraft and debris is still difficult to predicte very accurately, it is expected to be moderately controlled by the design of risk-reduction measures along with technological development.
