Abstract:

According to the requirements of real-time observation and abnormal motion perception of high-orbit targets, a tribe-satellite constellation system at the earth-moon libration points (L3/L4/L5 point) is designed and the working mode design of double-edge and double-field of view for real-time observation of geostationary earth orbit (GEO) targets is completed. Based on the real-time requirements from high-orbit target observation system, the result of theoretical analysis showes the demand field of view of camera equipped on satellite is 4°×10.5°, the detection sensitivity is 21Mv, the exclusion angle earth-atmosphere radiation demand is 3.5° and the solar suppression angle demand is 50°. Through the efficiency simulation calculation, the proposed tribe-satellites system can stagger the backlight non-working time of different cameras equipped on satellites and achieve 100% GEO area coverage rate in 10 years, which verifies the reliability of the theoretical analysis for the demand of camera. At the same time, it can be found from the simulation results of target coverage rate that the double coverage rate of typical targets in 24 hours in four typical solar terms can reach 41.3%~98.3%, which can effectively improve the accuracy of cataloguing, orbit determination and target detection probability, and reduce the false alarm rate of abnormal motion perception.
