[0002] Navigation satellite systems enhance satellite operational capabilities and orbit determination accuracy through a combined space-based and ground-based measurement support mode, strengthening the service advantages of the BeiDou system in complex environments. In this combined space-ground support mode, satellite support methods primarily include Ka-band inter-satellite link measurements and space-based orientation measurements based on star sensors, while ground support methods mainly include: inputting Earth rotation parameters (EOP parameters) on ground mobile stations / vehicles and conducting space-ground link measurements between ground mobile stations / vehicles and satellites. For the semi-autonomous operation mode of navigation satellites, there are currently no relevant solutions for the combined satellite and ground mobile station support mode, and research on combined space-ground support for semi-autonomous operation is insufficient. The joint design and optimization of space-based orientation observation and ground support modes have not been thoroughly explored, limiting the practical application potential of navigation satellite systems in complex environments.

[0003] To improve the accuracy of orbit determination and the performance of arc length prediction for navigation satellite systems, a method for determining navigation satellite orbits based on joint satellite-ground observation is needed. This method would enhance the accuracy of orbit determination and the performance of arc length prediction, and provide a technical solution for the research of joint satellite-ground support modes for navigation satellite systems. Summary of the Invention

Within each short-cycle period, three IGSO satellites conduct rotational observations of MEO satellites in three orbits, with each IGSO satellite fixed to observe any visible MEO satellite in its orbital plane. At the start of the next short-cycle period, the IGSO satellites switch to another orbital plane, and the three IGSO satellites switch according to the same rules to ensure that MEO satellites participate in observation in all three orbital planes within each short-cycle period. Each IGSO satellite selects any visible MEO satellite in its observed orbital plane for observation. Stellar angular distance measurement data is acquired every 15 minutes to obtain the stellar angular distance measurement dataset for the short-cycle measurement mode.

[0014] The method for acquiring long-cycle measurement mode involves using a second duration as the long cycle, which is no less than 8 hours and no more than 12 hours. Within each long cycle, three IGSO satellites conduct rotational observations of MEO satellites in three orbits, with each IGSO satellite fixed to observe any visible MEO satellite in its orbital plane. At the start of the next long cycle, the IGSO satellites switch to another orbital plane, and the three IGSO satellites switch according to the same rules to ensure that MEO satellites participate in observation in all three orbital planes within each long cycle. Each IGSO satellite selects any visible MEO satellite in its observed orbital plane for observation.
