Satellite-borne low power consumption light beacon system and implementation method thereof

Abstract

The invention discloses a satellite-borne low power consumption light beacon system based on a micro/nano satellite and an implementation method thereof. The solution provides an optimization method for the beam opening angle and power of a semiconductor laser; combined coverage on a ground target observation area is realized and redundant backup is effectively performed by using three methods including the optimization method, a lamp bank distributed array design for improving output light power and different installation angles by using lamp banks composed of single beacon lamps (beam optimized semiconductor laser) and a coverage design of a beam overlapping area; and directional time division switching logic is adopted between the lamp banks, on-off logic control is performed by using longitudes and latitudes of sub-satellite points in real time, overlapping design is adopted for the on-off time between the front and back lamp groups, and these measures greatly reduce the power consumption of the system while ensuring continuous coverage on the target area. The invention mainly solves the problem of satellite-borne high-brightness active lighting beacons, and provides a solution for effectively reducing the power consumption and having high reliability; and particularly, the system expands the in-orbit application field of micro/nano satellites, and thus has important scientific significance and promotion value.
