Optical Navigation Satellite Constellation Design

Article Preview

Abstract:

Satellite constellation has incomparable superiority compared to the single satellite, and can provide effective global intermittent or continuous coverage. This paper designs a laser navigation satellite constellation by simulating the coverage properties of single satellite. The running track of the satellite constellation covers the specified area and provides intermittent navigation information for mobile platforms.
