Rapid Satellite-to-Site Visibility Determination Based on Self-Adaptive Interpolation Technique
Chao Han, Xiaojie Gao, Xiucong Sun
Rapid satellite-to-site visibility determination is of great significance to coverage analysis of satellite constellations as well as onboard mission planning of autonomous spacecr…
Low-Earth Orbit Determination from Gravity Gradient Measurements
Xiucong Sun, Pei Chen, Christophe Macabiau +1
An innovative orbit determination method which makes use of gravity gradients for Low-Earth-Orbiting satellites is proposed. The measurement principle of gravity gradiometry is bri…
Autonomous Orbit Determination via Kalman Filtering of Gravity Gradients
Xiucong Sun, Pei Chen, Christophe Macabiau +1
Spaceborne gravity gradients are proposed in this paper to provide autonomous orbit determination capabilities for near Earth satellites. The gravity gradients contain useful posit…
