The invention provides a method for
attitude control of an orbital return and reentry air vehicle over
satellite communication, and relates to the field of measurement and control of in-
orbit segmentsand
relay satellites. The method comprises the following steps that step 1, an earth-fixed coordinate
system o1x1y1z1 is established; according to the
longitude L,
latitude B and height H of the aircraft; the geocentric
radius vector corresponding to the air vehicle is represented as red in the earth-fixed coordinate
system o1x1y1z1; step 2, the semi-geocentric-angle
delta corresponding to the earth area covered by a single
relay satellite is calculated; step 3, the geocentric
radius vectors corresponding to n
relay satellites in the earth-fixed coordinate
system o1x1y1z1 are represented as resi; step 4, the relay
satellite corresponding to the air vehicle is selected from the n relay satellites; step 5, after the relay satellite is selected, the attitude of the air vehicle is adjusted toachieve that a measurement and control antenna on the air vehicle is aligned with the selected relay satellite and achieve
bidirectional communication between the air vehicle and the relay satellite.The method for
attitude control of the orbital return and reentry air vehicle over the satellite communication avoids the problems of repeated binding caused by the change of a
launch window and thestar loss caused by the deviation of an actual flight trajectory, and ensures the continuous space-based measurement and control capability of the in-
orbit segments.
