A Method and System for Optimizing On-board Orbit Mission Sequence Based on Real-time Windward Area

A method and system for optimizing on-board orbit mission sequences based on real-time windward area is disclosed. The system includes a data configuration module, an area mapping module, a high-precision prediction module, and an autonomous feedback optimization module. The data configuration module receives mission sequences and space environment characteristic parameters, and synchronizes the satellite's real-time orbit vector. The area mapping module analyzes the target attitude based on the attitude parameters in the mission sequence and calculates the equivalent windward area corresponding to each mission time period in real time by combining the velocity vector. The high-precision prediction module executes the attitude-coupled variable area HPOP algorithm, incorporating the dynamically calculated equivalent windward area as a key perturbation term into the atmospheric drag calculation, and outputs orbit prediction results reflecting the attitude adjustment impact. The autonomous feedback optimization module performs consistency judgment on the difference between two adjacent recursive results. If the difference does not meet the preset requirements, it autonomously adjusts the mission execution time and mission execution parameters in the mission sequence and feeds them back to the area mapping module for iterative calculation.

Satellite ground point calculation method based on SGP4 orbit model

This invention discloses a method for calculating the sub-satellite point based on the SGP4 orbital model, relating to the field of satellite navigation and orbit prediction technology. The polar spherical projector of this invention eliminates longitude jumps in latitude >75°, ensuring continuous trajectory output for scenarios such as polar scientific expeditions and glacier monitoring.

Second-order differential compensation of the mean anomaly angle, combined with dynamic correction of the Earth's rotational angular velocity, strictly aligns the UTC timestamp with the orbital position. It suppresses the cumulative error generated by traditional linear interpolation at perigee. It enhances adaptability to complex perturbation environments; atmospheric drag vectorization compensation captures real-time aerodynamic direction through relative velocity cross terms, combined with continuous processing of the density index model, significantly improving the orbital attenuation prediction accuracy of low-Earth orbit satellites during geomagnetic storms.
