Abstract

Spacecraft cluster flight, which is a novel multi-spacecraft flight mode, has become an important research direction of distributed space system for the future, especially has unique advantage in continuous detection on area. Aiming at the satellite group formed by several satellite clusters, an orbit design method satisfying the long-term continuous and stable area-coverage is proposed. The basic dynamic model is built under the influence of J2 perturbation, the calculation method of "node period" and "node day" is put forward and then the long-term continuous stable group orbit initialization design conditions are built. Validation of orbit design is made under the typical scenario and through the STK simulation, the simulation results show that this design method can realize the fixed time revisiting and long-term stability of coverage of the target area.
