Abstract
The research considers the application of neural networks for the analysis of the stability of the tether system motion in the atmosphere and for the analysis of the tether system deployment process in the atmosphere. The analysis is performed using multilayer neural networks, forward and backward error propagation methods, and two different activation functions to minimize training errors. The training process was carried out using a different number of perceptrons in the hidden layer until the system produced results that matched those expected based on direct calculations. To train the neural network, input and output (target) data are used that were previously obtained using numerical calculations using a mathematical model of the space tether system motion. Since the motion parameters of the tether system include the parameters of two rigid bodies and the tether, it turned out to be possible to reduce the problem to training the neutron network using individual tether system parameters, primarily the angular coordinates of the bodies included in the system. The choice of angular coordinates is justified by the fact that they are decisive in the analysis of motion stability, and a conclusion about the stability of the motion is made basing on changes in their amplitudes over time. The results of the research showed that the neural network, after learning to calculate the trajectory of the motion of the tether system, allows to significantly reduce the time needed for the analysis of the stability of the system's motion and makes it possible to correct errors after learning the neural network.
