AI Technical Summary
The prior art is difficult to achieve millimeter-level or even submillimeter-level accuracy measurements in relative positions between satellites, due to the accuracy bottlenecks of microwave ranging and traditional mechanical bearings and photoelectric optical code disc technologies.
The inter-star relative position measurement device based on laser beam tracking angle reflector is adopted, and a high-precision stellar sensor and composite tracking platform are used, combined with a laser measuring instrument and a two-dimensional photoelectric position detector, to achieve high-precision tracking and ranging of the laser beam.
Through this device and method, relative position measurement accuracy of millimeter-level or even submillimeter-level can be achieved within the range of kilometers, significantly improving the accuracy of relative measurement between stars.
