Abstract:

Aiming at the problems of high modeling cost and lack of target space environment information in satellite autonomous orbit prediction and a large number of non cooperative target orbit prediction based on dynamic model, a neural network orbit prediction method driven by error data is proposed. Based on the analytical dynamic model, this method uses the long short-term memory neural network to learn the error of historical orbit prediction and predict the prediction error of future short-term dynamic model, so as to correct the prediction results. The ajisai satellite orbit data and SGP4 (simplified general pertubations) dynamic model are selected to verify the effectiveness and performance of the proposed model. The experimental results show that the one-day prediction errors of the three axes in the geocentric inertial coordinate system are reduced to 16.87%, 17.66% and 19.58% respectively, which significantly improves the orbit prediction accuracy.

Key words: satellite orbit forecast, machine learning, long short-term memory (LSTM) neural network, time series analysis
