Abstract:
The ozone valley over the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau has a significant impact on global climate. To explore the specific temporal and spatial characteristics of the ozone valley, this study primarily utilizes daily total ozone columns, monthly average tropospheric ozone columns, and ozone profiles derived from OMI and MLS over the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau from 2010 to 2023. The study analyzes the spatial and temporal distribution characteristics of the ozone low-value center over the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau and briefly discusses the possible causes of this phenomenon. Additionally, we employ spatial interpolation and precision-controlled data screening to minimize uncertainties in satellite retrievals, ensuring robust conclusions. The results are indicated below. Compared to other regions at the same latitude globally, the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau exhibits a distinct low-ozone phenomenon during the summer, with a maximum deficit of 36 DU, located in the northwestern part of the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau. Notably, this seasonal anomaly extends to tropospheric ozone, where the plateau shows a deficit of 15 DU relative to regions at the same latitude globally. Vertically, there are multiple peaks of the ozone deficit over the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau in summer. The low ozone values over the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau are mainly concentrated within the 15~20 km range, with the lowest value corresponding to an altitude of 16.8 km, roughly at the tropopause. There are significant regional differences in the low-ozone phenomenon within the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau, with opposite patterns observed between the southern and northern parts during the winter, where northern regions show ozone surpluses (+156.2 ppb) within the 15~20 km range, contrasting southern deficits. Based on the current study, future research will utilize high-resolution, multi-source data and relevant climate models to analyze further and validate the formation mechanisms of the ozone valley and its impacts on climate.

Abstract:
Fuel cells and electrolytic cells can provide energy support for long-term missions and bases in space, but different gravitational levels in space affect their performance, so experimental studies in unconventional gravity environments are necessary for the development and improvement of fuel cells and electrolytic cells for spaceflight. The experimental studies of fuel cells and electrolytic cells in unconventional gravity conditions are reviewed. The analyses and discussions show that the change of gravity level leads to the change of gas-liquid two-phase flow characteristics inside the fuel cell and electrolytic cell, which affects the performance differently. There is still a lack of experimental data on fuel cells in hypergravity and long-term microgravity, as well as unconventional gravity experiments on regenerative fuel cells. Fuel cell and electrolysis cell experiments under unconventional gravity conditions will not only help to promote the intersection of fluid physics and thermophysics with electrochemistry, but will also provide a data basis for the development of regenerative fuel cell systems in space.

Abstract:
Ionospheric delay is one of the most important sources of error in global satellite navigation and positioning. Improving the prediction accuracy of ionospheric Total Electron Content (TEC) is very important to improve the positioning accuracy of satellite navigation. In this paper, we combine sliding window and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) neural network, and use sliding window algorithm to continuously update the input time series data set. We tested the accuracy of the models corresponding to different input sequence lengths and recorded them, and found that the accuracy of the last 10% of the input data series was the best when the predicted value was updated. Finally, we used the sliding window method to update the last 10% of the input data series with the predicted value to build the TEC prediction model. The newly constructed model, traditional LSTM model and BP model are used to predict the same TEC time series data, and Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), absolute residual error and mean absolute error (MAE) are used to evaluate the accuracy of the model prediction results, and verify the prediction performance of the new model. The experimental results show that the proportion of residual absolute value less than 5 TECU predicted by the newly constructed model in both the calm period and the magnetic storm period exceeds 85%, and the proportion of predicted residual absolute value less than 5 TECU corresponding to the traditional LSTM model increases by 49% and 71%. On the other hand, compared with the traditional LSTM model, the root-mean-square error of the new model is reduced by 31% and 35% respectively, and the average absolute error is reduced by 25% and 32% respectively. In addition, we can also see that the RMSE mean values and MAE mean values of SLSTM model are smaller than those of traditional LSTM model and BP model.

Abstract:
The high-precision geomagnetic field model is an important foundation for autonomous navigation of near earth satellites, but the improvement of navigation accuracy is constrained by observation errors, spherical harmonic truncation errors, and slow updates of the geomagnetic model. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a geomagnetic model error prediction method based on regularized extreme learning machine. The optimal estimation of the regularization coefficient C is achieved by using a subtraction mean algorithm, which reduces subjectivity and randomness in parameter tuning, improves learning efficiency and prediction accuracy. In addition, this method can effectively improve the error estimation accuracy when outliers exist in geomagnetic observation sequences. Then, a geomagnetic navigation method with model error compensation was proposed by integrating it with filtering algorithms, and simulation verification was conducted using real geomagnetic measurement data from in orbit satellites. The results show that the prediction accuracy of the method proposed in this paper is superior to several commonly used neural network prediction methods, and the navigation accuracy reaches 1.49km, indicating that the proposed error prediction model can effectively improve the performance of geomagnetic navigation.

Abstract:
An on-chip quasi-real-time algorithm is proposed for monitoring the ionospheric total electron content (TEC). The algorithm can run on a standard commercial chip. In this way, the cost, power consumption, size and data to be transferred of TEC monitor are reduced. To minimize the cache capacity needs and computational load, the algorithm collects the GNSS dual-frequency pseudorange and phase measurements in 20 minutes. The TEC, based on phase measurements, is fitted to the TEC derived from pseudorange measurements to achieve high-precision TEC along the line-of-sight path (Slant TEC, STEC) within 20 minutes. A 5-min step is employed to compute the subsequent set of STEC. A thin-shell ionospheric model and vertical TEC (VTEC) polynomial model are used to construct the measurement equation of Kalman filter and acquire the quasi-real-time VTEC above the monitor. These VTEC values are compared with the results based on STEC from 1-day measurements. The results show that the quasi-real-time algorithm is effective. The algorithm is implemented on i.MX283 (Arm9™ Core).

Abstract:
The ionosphere is a major source of error for satellite navigation, communication, and other applications, and the Total Electron Content (TEC) of the ionosphere is an important parameter for studying the temporal and spatial variations of the ionosphere, and it is extremely important to accurately predict the ionospheric TEC under different space weather conditions. Existing prediction models, when using auxiliary parameters such as solar activity and geomagnetic activity to improve the performance of ionospheric TEC prediction models, treat the auxiliary parameters as global covariates, ignoring the fact that the auxiliary parameters, although having the same value at each location, have different effects on the ionospheric TEC. To solve this problem, a combined ionospheric TEC prediction model (LSTM-STT) is proposed in this paper, which combines the Space-Time Transformer (STT) with the Long-Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and introduces the space-time attention mechanism. The model adopts the TEC data of China and its surrounding areas from 2000 to 2023 provided by the Center for Orbit Determination in Europe (CODE) of the International GNSS Service Organization (IGS), with a time range of 8766 days, and the data are processed by the sliding window method, and the model takes the TEC data of the first 48 hours and the auxiliary parameters as inputs, and the TEC data of the last 24 hours after the prediction are constructed with 8764 samples. A total of 8764 samples were constructed. To verify the performance of the model, experimental prediction analyses were conducted in 2018 (a low solar activity year) and 2023 (a high solar activity year). The results show that the model has an average root mean square error of 1.3981 TECU and an average relative accuracy of 90.2524% on the 2018 test set, and an average root mean square error of 4.6262 TECU and an average relative accuracy of 89.9208% on the 2023 test set, which indicates that the model has good prediction performance.

Abstract:
This study employs bioinformatics methods to analyze and compare the effects of neutron radiation and microgravity environments on retinal protein expression in mice, providing a biological basis for understanding the mechanisms of retinal damage induced by space environments. Furthermore, it offers insights for risk assessment and protective measures related to space environments. We obtained differential expression data of retinal proteins in mice exposed to neutron radiation and microgravity environments. Various bioinformatics methods, including GO and KEGG enrichment analyses, PPI network construction and module analysis, and Hub protein screening and analysis, were employed to compare the effects of neutron radiation and microgravity on retinal protein differential expression. The results show that there were differences in the most significantly enriched functions. Neutron radiation inducement primarily enriched in functions such as “response to xenobiotic stimulus”, “actin filament”, and “identical protein binding”. Microgravity inducement enriched in functions such as “lens development in camera-type eye”, “mitochondrion”, and “structural constituent of eye lens”. The KEGG analysis showed that the changes in the “Motor proteins” pathway were consistent under both neutron radiation and microgravity inducement. In addition, neutron radiation inducement also enriched in the “Focal adhesion” and “Regulation of actin cytoskeleton” pathways, while microgravity inducement also enriched in the “Cardiac muscle contraction” pathway. The Hub proteins and Biological Process (BP) of the most significant modules were different. The most significant BP under neutron radiation inducement was “muscle contraction”, while under microgravity inducement, “camera-type eye development” was the most significant. Under different inducement, the expression trends of proteins PMEL, PTN, TPM1, and RAB27A were consistent. However, PDPN showed an opposite change. The results suggest that retinal proteins respond differently to neutron radiation and microgravity stimuli. These findings have the potential to elucidate the mechanisms of retinal damage caused by space radiation or microgravity and provide a reference for developing targeted protective measures.

Abstract:
The Zhangheng Satellite has accumulated a vast amount of observational data over its six years in orbit. Detecting all Lightning Whistler Wave (LW) events from this dataset is crucial for comprehensively analyzing the variation patterns of the space physical environment. However, using the current mainstream LW detection technology, which is based on time-frequency spectrograms, it would take approximately 40 years to complete this task. To address the slow inference speed and meet practical engineering demands, this study proposes, for the first time, a high-speed detection model for lightning whistler waves from the perspective of audio event detection—WhisNet. This model reduces the time cost from 40 years to just 54 days. First, waveform data is segmented using a 4-second sliding window; then, Mel-spectrogram audio features are extracted. Next, a lightweight Convolutional Recurrent Neural Network (CRNN) is constructed to further extract the audio event features of LW. Finally, two fully connected networks are created at the output layer to predict the start time and duration of each LW event. To evaluate the model’s performance and computational speed, experiments were conducted on data from the SCM (Search Coil Magnetometer) between April 1 and April 10, 2020. The results show that the performance of the WhisNet model is comparable to that of time-frequency image-based methods, but with a 99% reduction in computational and parameter costs and a 98% increase in computational speed. The model was further applied to SCM data from May 2020, and the detection results were statistically analyzed and visually compared to the average lightning density trend from the WWLLN Global Lightning Climatology and timeseries (WGLC) for May 2020. The high consistency between the two further confirms the applicability and accuracy of the WhisNet model in processing large-scale satellite data. This method offers significant reference value for thoroughly exploring other large-scale geospace events.

Abstract:
With the development of domestic commercial spaceflight and the increasing number of space debris monitoring equipment, how to make full use of the observed data from commercial spaceflight has become an important subject worthy of further study. Initial orbit determination of space targets is not only an important basis for space mission planning and space situational awareness, but also a prerequisite for key technologies such as satellite operations, collision warning, orbit maintenance, etc. This study uses data obtained from the Yangwang-1 space-based observatory system and the Zhulong ground-based observatory network developed by China’s commercial spaceflight companies to conduct Initial Orbit Determination (IOD) for Geosynchronous Earth Orbit (GEO) targets and Low Earth Orbit (LEO) targets, respectively. The Yangwang-1 satellite carries advanced electro-optical sensors that enable long duration, high precision continuous observations of GEO targets, while the Zhulong ground-based observation network consists of multiple electro-optical telescopes distributed at various locations across the country, capable of short arc, high frequency observations of LEO targets. In this study, we used the method of initial orbit determination based on optical goniometry observations, using the range searching method and iterative improvement strategy to estimate the initial orbits of GEO and LEO targets, and used Two-Line Element (TLE) data as a benchmark to evaluate the error of the calculated results. Experimental results show that for GEO targets, the observed arc length is about 249 s, the semi-major axis error determined by the initial orbit is 84.4 km, and the inclination error is 0.40°; For LEO targets, the observed arc is about 40 s, the semi-major axis error of the initial orbit is 26.0 km, and the inclination error is 0.13°. The results show that the method of initial orbit determination adopted in this study is feasible in the data processing of commercial spaceflight observations, and the great potential of space-based electro-optical monitoring equipment in the field of orbit determination is verified.

Abstract:
Meiosis is essential for oocyte maturation and embryonic development, representing a critical factor in mammalian reproduction. Consequently, assessing the impact of space microgravity on this process is paramount for evaluating reproductive health during long-term space missions. This article used a Random Positioning Machine (RPM) to simulate microgravity effects, examining how random changes in orientation relative to the gravity vector affect mouse oocyte meiosis. This study aims to provide critical biological references for further investigation into the damage mechanisms of space microgravity environments on oocyte meiotic division. Germinal vesicle (GV)-stage mouse oocytes were encapsulated in Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) chip chambers to ensure stable culture conditions and precise positional control during RPM operation. Oocytes were cultured under RPM (RPM group) and static normal gravity (NG group) conditions. Meiotic progression was tracked and quantitatively analyzed at five key developmental stages: GV (0 h), GV breakdown (GVBD, 2 h), pro-metaphase I (Pro-MⅠ, 5 h), metaphase I (MⅠ, 8 h), and metaphase II (MⅡ, 16 h). Mitochondrial distribution, spindle morphology, and chromosome alignment were quantified through confocal laser microscopy coupled with fluorescent probes. The results showed that RPM condition reduced oocyte maturation rates by 32.75% compared to normal gravity (NG) controls (p<0.01). Mitochondrial dynamics exhibited stage-specific perturbations: perinuclear clustering at MI-stage (70.00% vs. 41.18% in NG) and disorganized aggregation patterns in 71.88% of MII-stage oocytes. In addition, spindle assembly and chromosome alignment were also disrupted: multipolar spindles during MⅠ-stage caused disordered chromosome arrangement. At MⅡ, RPM group oocytes displayed exacerbated spindle defects (57.58% abnormality rate vs. 22.32% in NG, p<0.05) and widened equatorial plates (15.63 μm vs. 7.55 μm, p<0.0001). These findings suggest that the simulated microgravity effect leads to abnormal meiosis and the decline of oocyte quality through tripartite disruption of mitochondrial-spindle-chromosomal coordination. This study significantly contributes to understanding how gravity changes affect oocyte meiosis.

Abstract:
The Total Electron Content (TEC) of the ionosphere is an important parameter for describing the ionosphere activities, and much research has been done for the accurate methods for the ionospheric TEC prediction. However, the prediction accuracy of ionospheric empirical models for TEC during geomagnetic storms is still not ideal. To address this issue, this paper aims to assess the performance of ionospheric TEC predicting methods, which involve the LSTM, the BiLSTM, the convolutional neural network-long short-term memory combined with attention mechanism (CNN-LSTM-Attention), and the convolutional neural network-bidirectional long short-term memory combined with attention mechanism (CNN-BiLSTM-Attention). At first, the geomagnetic storm periods are identified by comparing with the threshold of Dst index (≤−30 nT), during the years from 2004 to 2022. Then, four neural network models for the ionospheric TEC prediction are formed, through the combinations of multiple spatiotemporal parameters, such as UTS, UTC, SA, AA, CHS, and SHS. Finally, the accuracy and reliability of the four neural network models are assessed using the reference TEC dataset collected during geomagnetic storms in 2023, and three statistical index, Mean Absolute Error (MAE), The Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), and coefficient of determination R2, are utilized. The results show that, the performance of the CNN-BiLSTM-Attention model is superior to the other three models, with MAE ranging from 0.882 to 5.270 TECU, RMSE between 1.175 and 6.983 TECU, and R2 values exceeding 0.7. In order to better describe the difference between the predicted values and the reference values, the scatter plots of two datasets are plotted for the fitting of linear regression equations. The slope of fitted function from CNN-BiLSTM-Attention model is very close to the ideal value 1, also indicating a better performance compared to the other models.

Abstract:
By using the global ionospheric data provided by IGS, the sliding quartile range method is employed to study the ionospheric disturbances during the two geomagnetic storms occurred from March to April 2023, striving to provide theoretical basis for the distribution characteristics of ionospheric disturbances caused by geomagnetic storms under strong solar radiation background during the peak year of solar activity. Results show that both geomagnetic storms were caused by the CMEs generated on the surface of the Sun facing towards the Earth, which reached the Earth and triggered an increase in the velocity of the interstellar solar wind. The CMEs carried a southward magnetic field component and high-energy particles, causing magnetic reconnection with the Earth’s magnetic field and triggering geomagnetic disturbances. When other factors such as dark stripe bursts are superimposed on the coronal mass ejections, the intensity of geomagnetic storms are enhanced, causing significant differences in the occurrence and distribution characteristics of ionospheric TEC disturbances. The geomagnetic storm that occurred on 23-24 April 2023 was affected by the superposition of dark bars and CMEs, resulting in a stronger intensity and longer duration of the April geomagnetic storm. At the same time, there are significant differences in the occurrence process and distribution characteristics of ionospheric disturbances caused by two geomagnetic storms. The ionospheric disturbances during the March showed an asymmetric distribution in an east-west direction, while the entire process of ionospheric disturbance during the geomagnetic period in April exhibits a transition from positive phase disturbance to negative phase disturbance. Additionally, in the East Asia-Australia (120°E), the ionospheric TEC in the Northern Hemisphere line is significantly higher than that in the Southern Hemisphere. The amplitude changes of ionospheric disturbances are most significant during the recovery phase of geomagnetic storms, showing a distribution pattern of positive disturbances at low latitudes and negative disturbances at middle-high latitudes.

Abstract:
In recent years, there has been a significant and rapid expansion in the satellite field, with a corresponding increase in the demand for Earth observation. This led to a growing need for sophisticated management of Electromagnetic Spectrum Monitoring Satellite (ESMS) missions. Neglecting to incorporate dynamic adjustments in satellite mission planning will lead to a considerable loss of time and resources. Dynamic adjustments to missions and allocation of appropriate satellite resources are crucial for the effective execution of monitoring tasks. This paper begins by developing a mission planning model that incorporates dynamic adjustments. Subsequently, we introduce a Two-Layer Hybrid Scheduling Approach (TH-SA) designed for task flexibilty. The approach uses a genetic algorithm in the first layer to deal with non-dynamically adjustable task sequences. The second layer relies on heuristic rules to plan dynamically adjustable tasks. A rule-based initialization strategy and diverse crossover patterns enhance the exploration and exploitation efficiency of the genetic algorithm, while the heuristic algorithm optimizes the scheduling of dynamically adjustable tasks through task reconfiguration and resource allocation. By categorizing and processing tasks, the algorithm enhances the efficiency of planning for dynamically adjustable tasks and ensures the completion rate of those that are not dynamically adjustable. Finally, simulation experiments confirm that the algorithm maintains high performance in task planning of varying scales, demonstrating its effectiveness in improving the performance of Electromagnetic Spectrum Monitoring Satellite task planning.

Abstract:
In order to solve the problems of link handover time selection and complex relay scenarios in the multi-station data relay problem, a multi-station data relay method based on link handover time optimization was proposed, which simplified the multi-station relay scene and selected the optimal relay time, so as to improve the transmission time of data relay transmission. In this method, the mathematical description of multi-station relay is established based on the satellite-ground model and the motion constraints of the mechanical antenna, and the expression method of the link switching time between the satellite and the ground station is constructed. Based on the characteristics of mainstream low-orbit remote sensing satellites and ground stations, the relay scenarios of satellite-to-ground data transmission are established, the characteristics of their visible time arcs are summarized, and a two-station optimization strategy for complex multi-station relay scenarios is constructed. Finally, the typical satellite-to-ground data transmission model simulation is used to verify the data transmission relay method with optimization strategy constructed in this paper. The simulation results show that there are 32.0% relayable data transmission arcs in the data transmission links between satellite and the three typical ground station located in China, of which the three-station relay scenario accounts for 17.9%, and the three-station relay scenario can be simplified into a two-station relay scenario through the optimization strategy. In the link handover interval of multiple stations with visible arcs, there is a relay time with the shortest relay time, and the shortest link switching time can be shortened by up to 25% compared with the worst relay time after using the relay time optimization strategy. Using the optimized data relay method for relay data transmission, the average time available for each time was increased from 7.61 minutes to 11.12 minutes.

Abstract:
In space-borne gravitational wave detection, there are technical challenges in designing the controller for the drag-free spacecraft with dual test masses. These difficulties arise from constraints within the limited measurement frequency domain and the necessity for a high-precision control index. In this paper, a design method of disturbance rejection controller in the finite frequency domain based on the generalized Kalman-Yakubovich-Popov (GKYP) lemma is proposed. Firstly, to address the performance constraints within the designated frequency band of the detection mission, a finite frequency domain control performance index in the form of a frequency response function is constructed. This index is meticulously developed by amalgamating the sensitivity and complementary sensitivity control indexes. Then, a control structure with fixed-order characteristics for output feedback is proposed, and a method for selecting controller parameters based on the GKYP lemma is established. By this, a finite frequency domain disturbance-resistant controller design method is constructed. In contrast to current drag-free controller design methods, the proposed approach significantly diminishes the conservatism in the control index. This realizes the precise design of the controller in the specified frequency band, ultimately resulting in a reduction in the order of the controller. Finally, numerical simulations demonstrate that the proposed method successfully meets the control performance index for each loop of the drag-free system even in the presence of complex disturbances and noises.
