Orbit and sequence planning method for space multi-target skimming observation

Abstract Based on the research of space-based multi-target skimming observation, this paper studies observation sequence and orbit path planning low Earth (LEO) targets with goal fuel optimization. Lambert intersection algorithm branch bound algorithm, a two-layer transfer model is established. Through first layer model, optimal target location when are obtained. To obtain global solution, position expanded spherically point corresponding determined by using second then found. Finally, simulation results obtained analyzed compared Hohmann speed increment to verify reliability results.
