Abstract:

The space-based gravitational wave detection mission places extremely high demands on the cleanliness of the core environment within spacecraft. To meet these demands, a Bilevel Sequential Optimization Approach (BSOA) is proposed to solve the Spacecraft Component Layout Design (SCLD) problem, aiming to effectively suppress electromagnetic forces and self-gravity noise. SCLD is a typical mixed-integer programming problem, and the BSOA method is further formulated as a bilevel optimization problem for solution. The upper-level optimization is defined as an integer nonlinear programming problem to determine the orientation and region of components, while the lower-level optimization is defined as a real-valued nonlinear programming problem to optimize the placement of components within the selected region. By introducing a feedback iterative mechanism, the results of the lower-level optimization influence upper-level decisions, enabling progressive optimization of the layout scheme. Within the bilevel sequential optimization framework, an elite genetic algorithm is employed for global optimization of the upper-level problem using, while the lower-level problem is locally searched using a differential evolution algorithm. To address various technical challenges in the optimization process, a hybrid encoding strategy is proposed to meet the coding requirements of evolutionary algorithms, a regional division strategy is introduced to discretize installation positions, and a collision detection approach is implemented to identify violations of geometric constraints among components. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed approach efficiently solves layout design problems under complex multi-constraint conditions, generates layout schemes that meet scientific mission requirements, and significantly outperforms traditional single-stage and two-stage optimization methods in terms of performance indicators such as mean and standard deviation. This approach exhibits significant application potential and extensibility, laying a technical foundation for future gravitational wave detection missions.
