[0027] The embodiment of the present invention further provides a method for functional linkage of a communication, navigation and remote control integrated satellite constellation. Using the above-mentioned communication, navigation and remote control integrated satellite constellation, the method for functional linkage includes:

[0028] The integrated satellite constellation of communication, navigation and remote sensing and the ground segment form a space-ground integrated network, wherein the data transmission / information gateway station and mission planning system of the ground segment constitute a gateway;

[0029] The communication terminals covered by the communication load and the communication beam constitute an access network; the access networks manage the routing and transmission of the access networks according to the priority of the communication data. Among them, the communication data can be assigned the priority of the communication data according to the timeliness requirements of the business communication needs, such as real-time voice data has the highest priority, navigation enhanced data transmission timeliness is second, and IoT data collection information timeliness is the last; the routing table of the access network is generated by the data transmission / information gateway and communication management is performed; the intelligent switching units and the inter-satellite transmission equipment between each of the integrated communication, navigation and remote sensing satellites constitute a core network; the core networks manage the routing and transmission of the core network according to the data priority of the communication data, remote sensing data, navigation enhanced data, command data or telemetry data and the path priority between the inter-satellite transmission equipment of the satellite; the routing table of the core network is generated by the mission planning system of the ground segment and the space-ground information management is performed.

Specific embodiments

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, the satellite constellation provided in the embodiment of the present invention is used as a space segment system, and together with the ground segment system, it constitutes a space-ground information system. The satellite constellation is composed of multiple integrated communication, navigation and remote sensing satellites, such as satellite A, satellite B, satellite C, satellite D, satellite E, etc. The ground segment system can be composed of communication terminals, data transmission / signal gateway stations, measurement and control stations, and mission planning systems.

[0036] In the embodiment of the present invention, the satellite constellation is set based on the sun-synchronous orbit, and an orbital plane is determined at intervals of half an hour. For example, 30 orbital planes can be determined from 5:00 to 20:00, and each orbital plane is evenly distributed with N (N≥6) satellites. The orbital altitude of the satellite constellation can be in the range of 600-700km, which can ensure good optical remote sensing imaging quality while taking into account the wide coverage of the communication beam. The orbital altitude of each satellite is consistent, and the phases of the satellites are stable, ensuring the stability of inter-satellite information transmission.

[0037] In the embodiment of the present invention, the structures of the integrated communication, navigation and telemetry satellites in the constellation are the same. Figure 1 The A satellite structure in . Figure 1 It can be seen that the satellite includes an integrated electronic unit, a measurement and control transponder, an atomic clock, a GNSS receiver, an intelligent switching unit, a storage unit, a data transmission unit, a remote sensing payload, a communication payload, and intersatellite transmission equipment I to IV, etc. The remote sensing payload may include an optical remote sensing payload, a radar remote sensing payload, etc., and the communication payload may include a multi-beam antenna, a baseband module, a routing module, etc.

[0038] Each satellite can be equipped with four intersatellite transmission devices to realize the intersatellite transmission function of the same orbit and different orbits. Remote sensing, communication, and navigation data can be transmitted through the intersatellite link composed of intersatellite transmission equipment, and finally transmitted to the data transmission / signal gateway station of the ground segment system to pass through the satellite and exchange information with the ground. Among them, the satellite's data transmission unit and the ground segment's data transmission / signal gateway station together constitute the uplink and downlink data link function, the measurement and control station and the measurement and control transponder together constitute the telemetry and remote control link function, and the communication payload and the communication terminal together constitute the communication service uplink and downlink function. In order to realize the information interaction between the satellite and the ground segment.

[0039] In the satellite, the GNSS receiver receives the navigation signal from the navigation satellite, generates the PPS second pulse signal and sends it to the atomic clock, which performs time calibration and timekeeping, outputs a stable signal and sends it to the integrated electronic unit, which then outputs the second pulse and sends it to other devices on the satellite to ensure that the time reference between the devices on the satellite is unified. In the embodiment of the present invention, the atomic clock will synchronously provide high-precision time and frequency signals for the integrated electronic unit, intersatellite transmission equipment, communication payload and data transmission unit, which are used for high-precision time unification between communication payload and communication terminal, high-precision time unification between satellites, and high-precision time unification between data transmission unit and signal gateway.

[0040] During use, the satellite's remote sensing payload can perform imaging according to the instructions generated by the integrated electronic unit and store the imaging data in the storage unit. As a task management unit, the integrated electronic unit can uniformly schedule the entire task information. The integrated electronic unit and the measurement and control transponder can perform two-way information exchange. As a data management unit, the intelligent exchange unit has a two-way information interface channel with the storage unit, intersatellite transmission equipment, communication payload, data transmission unit, and integrated electronic unit for task scheduling and information exchange.

[0041] In the constellation, the intelligent switching units and intersatellite transmission equipment between satellites can form a core network, and the communication terminals covered by the communication payload and communication beam can form an access network; the gateway station and the mission planning system in the ground segment can form a gateway, thus forming a space-ground integrated network. Among them, the access network can manage access network routing transmission according to the priority of communication data, and the core network can manage core network routing transmission according to the data priority of communication data, remote sensing data, navigation enhancement data, command data, telemetry data, etc. and the path priority between the intersatellite transmission equipment of the satellite. The access network routing table is generated by the gateway station and communication management is performed, and the core network routing table is generated by the mission planning system and space-ground information management is performed.

[0042] In addition to the business function of responding to its own satellite, each satellite in the constellation also has the function of a relay satellite. The measurement and control station realizes the remote control and telemetry functions of multiple satellites in the constellation, and realizes command transmission and information linkage between constellation satellites. The inter-satellite communication capability can improve the remote sensing response speed.

[0043] The high-precision time unification between constellation satellites can be used as high-precision ranging input between satellites to achieve highly unified time and space references between satellites. It can also be used as real-time self-calibration of satellite remote sensing payloads on orbit, and can also be used as functional input for space-based navigation information enhancement to achieve functional linkage between remote sensing and navigation. High time and space references enhance remote sensing position accuracy, time unification and precise ranging of intersatellite communications enhance navigation accuracy, and navigation precise orbit determination enhances intersatellite communication link building and connectivity capabilities. In addition, navigation enhancement data can be broadcast to the ground through the multi-beam antenna of the communication payload to achieve navigation and positioning of the communication terminal. On the contrary, the uplink reference information can be used as a reference station to improve the satellite orbit determination function and achieve functional linkage between communication and navigation. Moreover, the uplink data of the communication terminal can identify abnormal quantities in the overhead satellite, generate telemetry data, trigger the preset instruction set, and respond to remote sensing imaging immediately, forming a functional linkage between communication and remote sensing. The space-ground communication enhancement can improve the remote sensing trigger response capability.

[0044] The integrated satellite constellation of communication, navigation and remote sensing provided by the embodiment of the present invention has a composition different from that of a general constellation, and the functions of various devices of the satellites in the constellation are different from those of traditional satellites; moreover, the two-layer routing table information of the access network and the core network formed between the satellites of the constellation are independently generated and managed and updated; through the functional linkage of the constellation, the remote sensing on-orbit self-calibration, the functional linkage of navigation enhancement time unification and precise ranging, the spatial-temporal reference to enhance the remote sensing position accuracy, the time unification and precise ranging of inter-satellite communication to enhance the navigation accuracy, and the navigation precise orbit determination to enhance the inter-satellite communication link establishment and interconnection capability are realized; the functional linkage of communication transmission and navigation enhancement information is also realized, and navigation positioning and benchmark calibration are mutually enhanced; as well as the functional linkage of communication transmission and remote sensing imaging instant response, and the space-ground communication enhances the remote sensing trigger response capability;

[0045] Therefore, the integrated satellite constellation of communication, navigation and remote sensing provided by the embodiment of the present invention realizes the unification of communication, navigation and remote sensing information transmission time and space, as well as the high linkage and capability enhancement of communication, navigation and remote sensing information through a unique communication, navigation and remote sensing information transmission network setting. This solves the problems of independent communication, navigation and remote sensing effective information transmission channels, inconsistent information transmission time, and inability to link functions in the prior art.

Therefore, the appended claims are intended to be interpreted as including the preferred embodiments and all changes and modifications that fall within the scope of the present invention. Obviously, those skilled in the art may make various changes and modifications to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Thus, if these modifications and variations of the present invention fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention and their equivalents, the present invention is also intended to include these modifications and variations.
