Design of Regional Coverage Resource Satellite Constellation Based on Analytical Method

Article Preview

Abstract:

Using analytical method, based on the principle of effectively using satellite coverage area, constrained by satellite load operating height, the paper designed the regional coverage resource satellite constellation and presented all the design process. After that, the satellite orbit and constellation’s orbit parameters were obtained. Based on that, the resource satellite constellation graph was generated by using STK.
