Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of satellite communication, in particular to a method for predicting the remaining visible duration of a circular-orbit low-orbit satellite overhead. Background technique
[0002] Circular-orbit low-orbit satellites refer to satellites whose orbit is a circular orbit centered on the center of the earth and whose orbital altitude is between 500 kilometers and 2,000 kilometers. This kind of circular-orbit low-orbit satellite has the advantages of small propagation delay, low requirements for terminal equipment antenna size and power consumption, and low satellite launch cost, but the lower the satellite altitude, the smaller its coverage area. Through the ground satellite terminal The time the user is in the air, that is, the overhead time is shorter, so it often requires a network of multiple low-orbit satellites to meet the user's communication needs.
[0003] When circular-orbit low-orbit satellites are used for com...
