摘要：

TH01 is a kind of surveying and mapping system with three satellites in orbit. The nominal orbit is the long-term maintaining target, which determines the coverage property of the constellation. This study aims to find a useful method for evaluating and optimizing coverage performance. In this study, a path-latitude cover-map method is proposed for analysis and optimization. In the path-latitude cover-map, the covered areas are drawn on a map with a path number as the X-axis rather than longitude, where the access number of certain target regions can be read, and the access intervals can be acquired via the access path numbers. The formula of the longitude span of a certain sweep-imaging satellite is derived to depict the path-latitude cover-map. The procedure is provided for evaluating the access number and intervals. An optimization method is also proposed with the current path number and the local time of a descending node as parameters. A numerical example of long-term analysis is provided to validate the effectiveness of the proposed method. A certain region with anomalous shape is selected as a target, whose number and intervals of accesses in a repeating period are analyzed through the proposed procedure and the traditional grid point covering method. Results show that the proposed method can achieve similar accuracy through the grid point covering method. The proposed optimization method is conducted to shorten the access intervals of the constellation by adjusting the current path numbers and local time of a descending node of each satellite, thus resulting in a 30% shorter maximum access interval. The proposed path-latitude cover-map method is effective for a long-term analysis of the TH01 satellite over an anomalous geometric area, thereby achieving similar accuracy through the traditional grid point method and remarkable saving of resource and time. The optimization method is also effective for limiting the maximum access intervals, which can provide helpful advice for long-term orbit maintenance. © 2019, Science Press. All right reserved.
