The application discloses a kind of
satellite on-board
clock autonomous
correction method using lunar
occultation observation, utilize observation
record and
handle the
time sequence of stellar
occultation phenomenon of moon, correct on-board
clock deviation.First, on-board imaging measurement equipment such as
star sensor is used to observe the
occultation and recurrence phenomenon of moon to specific star,
record the time of phenomenon occurrence, form measurement
time sequence, then utilize
satellite accurate
orbit information to combine lunar
ephemeris calculation theoretical occultation and recurrence phenomenon
time sequence, compare two groups of time sequence, iteratively correct star
clock reference, so that actual
observation time sequence and theoretical time sequence accurately coincide, to achieve the purpose of star clock reference correction.This method does not need to increase additional new equipment for
satellite, only needs to utilize existing common sensitive equipment to complete observation, low in cost, high in
system reliability, less on-board resource occupation.
