13 results about "Earth's rotation" patented technology

Earth's rotation is the rotation of Planet Earth around its own axis. Earth rotates eastward, in prograde motion. As viewed from the north pole star Polaris, Earth turns counterclockwise. The North Pole, also known as the Geographic North Pole or Terrestrial North Pole, is the point in the Northern Hemisphere where Earth's axis of rotation meets its surface. This point is distinct from Earth's North Magnetic Pole. The South Pole is the other point where Earth's axis of rotation intersects its surface, in Antarctica.

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. By directly mapping three-dimensional radial information to generate latitude, it avoids the iterative convergence problem of the ellipsoidal model, ensuring natural symmetry of the North and South Poles coordinates and continuous longitude domain. 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.

PendingCN122317394ALinear driftSky
This invention discloses a closed-loop celestial object tracking and imaging method and system based on real-time analysis of starry sky images. The invention identifies celestial objects from starry sky images and calculates imaging parameters; based on Earth rotation data and current field-of-view parameters, it calculates the instantaneous linear drift velocity and field rotation angular velocity of the celestial object to be tracked on the image sensor plane. The long-exposure drive signal is compensated based on the calculated instantaneous linear drift velocity and field rotation angular velocity of the current frame and adjacent frames to counteract star point drift during the long exposure process. Alternatively, by calculating the relative displacement and rotation angle between adjacent frames and the current frame in consecutive short-exposure images, each subsequent frame is aligned, and all frames are pixel-level superimposed to synthesize the final long-exposure image. This invention achieves significant simplification in hardware cost and structure, requiring only one imaging unit to complete high-precision pointing calculation and drift compensation.
