The present invention discloses a calculation method for the requirements of
satellite determination and
orbit determination accuracy for inter-
satellite signal acquisition in a
lunar orbit formation, belonging to the technical field of
deep space exploration. The method includes measuring the antenna pattern, transmitted
signal power, and receiving sensitivity of the main
satellite, measuring the antenna pattern, receiving sensitivity, and transmitted EIRP value of the slave satellite, measuring the
installation error and antenna mechanism deformation error of the high-
gain directional antenna of the main satellite, measuring the
attitude control accuracy of the main satellite, and calculating the
position error requirement of the slave satellite relative to the main satellite according to the
total error requirement of the main satellite antenna pointing, the
installation error of the antenna, the antenna mechanism deformation error, and the beam
pointing error caused by the
attitude control accuracy of the main satellite; determining the requirements for the determination and
orbit determination accuracy of the main satellite and the slave satellite based on the
position error. The present invention can put forward the requirements for determination and
orbit determination to the ground TT&C
system in advance, or select an appropriate inter-satellite distance according to the determination and
orbit determination accuracy that can be provided by the ground, improving the success probability of establishing an inter-satellite link.
