The invention discloses an automatic division method and
system for a
satellite constellation orbital plane, and relates to the technical field of
spaceflight measurement and control. The method comprises the following steps: firstly, calculating an
orbital plane unit normal vector based on a
satellite orbit inclination angle and an ascending node
right ascension, and performing first-level spatial pointing clustering by adopting a density clustering
algorithm to form an
orbital plane group; secondly, in the same orbital plane group, by taking a semi-major axis and an eccentricity rate as characteristics, automatically determining an optimal shell layer number by utilizing a
Gaussian mixture model and a
Bayesian information criterion, and realizing second-stage orbital energy shell layer division; and finally, in the same shell layer, sorting and interval
statistical analysis are performed on the
right ascension of the ascending node, recursive
subdivision is performed through dynamic threshold segmentation in combination with a range-based dual-condition
verification mechanism, and fine division of a third-level orbital plane is completed. The method realizes full-process
automation from
orbit data to division results, has the advantages of high division precision, strong adaptability, good
engineering practicability and the like, and is suitable for operation and
maintenance management of large-scale heterogeneous
satellite constellations.
