The invention discloses an off-line terminal positioning method based on
iridium orbit optimization, and belongs to the technical field of space-based opportunity
signal positioning and low-
orbit satellite navigation. The method comprises the following steps: firstly, receiving an
iridium signal, extracting Doppler and pseudo-range observation values, and decoding to obtain a discrete
orbit position sequence under an
ECEF coordinate
system; performing data preprocessing, including star number division, segmental arc segmentation,
outlier elimination and coordinate conversion to an ECI
system; fitting an orbit position through a four-order polynomial and deriving to obtain a speed, and constructing a weighted cost function to screen an optimal initial state; single-
satellite decoupling, residual dimension reduction and LDLT
decomposition acceleration solution are introduced, a
damping factor is dynamically adjusted, and a broadcast orbit is optimized; taking the optimized state as an initial value, extrapolating an orbit based on a fourth-order perturbation gravity model with
harmonic terms, and fusing Doppler and pseudo-range observation values to complete off-line terminal positioning. The method does not need to depend on real-time TLE data, and is fast in convergence and high in precision.
