This invention relates to the field of
satellite telemetry, tracking, and command (TT&C) technology, specifically a rapid switching
relay tracking method for densely packed
satellite formations. Applied to the antenna
servo embedded system of ground-based TT&C equipment for densely packed
satellite formations, it solves the problems of response
lag, high computational overhead, and low pointing accuracy inherent in traditional methods for tracking densely packed satellite formations. This method generates acceleration / deceleration planning sequences through
ephemeris analysis, combines link indicators and preset times to achieve dual-trigger judgment for acceleration and deceleration, preloads dedicated parameter templates and adapts to the FPGA+MCU dual-core
hardware architecture, employs a simplified three-stage acceleration / deceleration execution to compensate for orbital drift, verifies the status after motion and dynamically adapts parameters, and activates a
backup plan in case of anomalies. This invention achieves proactive predictive planning, significantly reducing the computational overhead of the
embedded system, achieving satellite switching tracking time ≤20s, controllable pointing accuracy, and constructing a complete acceleration / deceleration
control system without requiring large-scale hardware modifications, making it highly practical for
engineering applications.
