Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of overall design of spacecraft, in particular to a space-ground two-dimensional pointing mechanism and a tracking method for a medium-low orbit spacecraft. Background technique
[0002] With the development of high-resolution remote sensing technology, the on-orbit data code rate of spacecraft is getting higher and higher. More and more spacecraft on-orbit data transmission schemes use point-beam antennas or laser communication and other pointing data transmission schemes. The instrument has a two-dimensional pointing mechanism for tracking the pointing of the ground station.
[0003] Secondly, the time for medium and low orbit spacecraft to pass over the domestic ground station is very short every day. For the territory of our country, it can generally fly over 4 orbits in the territory every day, and each orbit usually only takes about 10 minutes. Under the limited data transmission code rate, the effecti...
