The invention provides a lunar
satellite formation
orbit determination method and
system. The method comprises the following steps: S1, establishing a lunar
satellite high-precision dynamic model; s2, establishing a lunar
satellite laser ranging and inter-satellite
ranging mathematical model; s3, measuring the distance, namely the absolute position, of the A-type satellite relative to the
ground station through
laser ranging, and measuring the relative position of the B-type satellite relative to the A-type satellite through inter-satellite ranging; s4, preprocessing the absolute position and relative position data of the satellite measured by
laser ranging and inter-satellite ranging, and generating a format
data file required by
orbit calculation; and S5, resolving the position coordinates of each satellite in the monthly formation through the format
data file. According to the method,
laser ranging and inter-satellite ranging are combined for
orbit determination, precise
orbit determination of the lunar satellite formation is achieved, compared with a traditional
orbit determination mode, the precision can be improved from the hundred-meter level to the meter level, the requirements for the
arrangement number of ground stations and set distribution are reduced, and the measurement and control pressure of existing ground stations is relieved.
