Precise Orbit Determination for Low Earth Orbit Satellites
The precise orbit determination problem is to accurately determine the position and velocity vectors of an orbiting satellite. In this paper we review the general contents of the orbit determination process, with particular emphasis on Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites. The different orbit determination approaches and the different force models contained within are briefly discussed. The two mai...
متن کاملCDMA in Low Earth Orbit Satellites
In recent years the use of small multi mission satellites (SMMS) in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) for making voice, data and E-mail communications has been grown extensively. Low production cost, Low cost of lunching and low transmission power due to it’s low orbit of these satellites are some reasons for their vast usage. How over because of their low orbit they need to turn several times around the e...
متن کاملAerodynamic Lift and Drag Effects on the Orbital Lifetime Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Satellites
The effects of aerodynamic perturbation forces on the orbital life of low altitude Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites are investigated, with a focus on the secular perturbations caused by lift and drag. The secular effects can be divided into the circularization of the orbit for both lift and drag perturbation forces, and the decrease of the orbit semimajor axis for drag perturbation. A study of ...
متن کاملFormation Flight in Low-Earth-Orbit at 150 m Distance - AOCS In-Orbit Experience
AOCS operations for two satellites flying at ~514 km altitude with unprecedented small separation of 150 m upwards pose various new challenges and require creative solutions. Several on-ground safety measures were installed, but due to the short reaction times emphasis always lies with the on-board handling of problems. This is achieved by implementation of a data link (one-way) between the sat...
متن کاملEvaluation of Aerodynamic Drag and Torque for External Tanks in Low Earth Orbit
A numerical procedure is described in which the aerodynamic drag and torque in low Earth orbit are calculated for a prototype Space Shuttle external tank and its components, the "LO2" and "LH2" tanks, carrying liquid oxygen and hydrogen, respectively, for any given angle of attack. Calculations assume the hypersonic limit of free molecular flow theory. Each shell of revolution is assumed to be ...
