    Orbit design method of near-lunar space constellation
    CHEN Shiyu, NI Yanshuo, PENG Jing
    Chinese Space Science and Technology    2024, 44 (3): 15-29.   DOI: 10.16708/j.cnki.1000-758X.2024.0035
    Abstract1471)      PDF(pc) (9757KB)(1568)      
     According to the requirements of relay communication and lunar navigation for future lunar exploration missions,an orbit design method of near-moon space constellation is proposed.First,the indexes of constellation design in relay communication,lunar navigation,cost for deployment and maintenance are sorted out,and analytic hierarchy process is applied to determine the weights of the indexes so that a comprehensive evaluation index can be proposed.The properties of various types of orbits are analyzed with full consideration of orbit resources near the moon,and the orbit types suitable for constellation deployment are initially screened.A construction route of the near-moon space constellation is proposed,where 100% quadruple cover for the whole moon is gradually realized in three stages.The constellation configurations in the three stages are designed successively.For each stage,different configurations are compared and the one with the best comprehensive evaluation index is selected.Based on the above method,the construction scheme of the constellation in near-moon space is obtained.In the first stage,2 satellites are deployed in elliptical lunar frozen orbit(ELFO)to provide full-time earth relay communication for the south pole region of the moon.In the second stage,6 ELFO satellites,2 near rectilinear halo orbit(NRHO)satellites,and 1 L2 halo orbit satellite are deployed to provide full-time navigation for the south pole region and fulltime earth communication for the entire lunar surface.In the third stage,4 ELFO satellites,2 NRHO satellites,1 L1 halo orbit satellite,and 3 distant retrograde orbit satellites are deployed to provide full-time navigation for the entire lunar surface.For any position in the whole lunar surface,the geometric dilution of precision of the designed constellation keeps below 5 in at least 72% of the time,leading to a long-term high-precision navigation for the whole lunar surface.Compared with the existing literature,the proposed design method of the near-lunar space constellation considers more orbit types,more comprehensive constellation performance indexes,and innovatively puts forward a phased construction scheme of the near-lunar space constellation.

    Abstract1238)      PDF(pc) (3338KB)(2201)      
    As an important technology, satellite-ground link budget calculation is the theoretical basis of satellite communication system designing which directly decides the link availability. As there are many factors which may affect the satellite link, any unreasonable factor in the design would make the whole satelliteground link unavailable and leads to a big loss. Moreover, there is no ideal satellite link situation unless overlooking some factors, which is also a difficulty during the link budget calculation. Based on the international common calculating method, GEO satellite link was analyzed thoroughly, separating the whole link into uplink and downlink. Then a practical example was analyzed and calculated according to the project experience in LAOSAT Company. At last, different reasonable designing methods in terms of different link configurations were obtained, which could be the references to link calculation and analysis of GEO satellite communication.

    WANG Lei, ZHENG Jun, HE Chuan, YAN Xuefei
    Chinese Space Science and Technology    2021, 41 (5): 85-94.   DOI: 10.16708/j.cnki.1000-758X.2021.0070
    Abstract454)      PDF(pc) (3765KB)(892)      
    Resource allocation plays an important role in the performance of new generation of high throughput multibeam communication satellite(HTMCS) systems. The static and single dimension methods for resource allocation were normally proposed for previous communication satellite systems with non-flexible payloads and uniform distribution of users’ capacity demands, which has seriously constrained the performance of the HTMCS systems. A joint power and bandwidth resource allocation model for the HTMCS systems was built, with the consideration for beam interference, flexible payloads and nonuniform distribution of capacity demands. Meanwhile, a genetic algorithm with high efficient search control strategies was implemented to solve this model. Finally, several types of dataset were employed with different capacity demands and distribution profile between beams to verify the proposed method. Experimental results show that the method can reduce the unmet capacity demand(UCD) by 71.09%, 40.47% and 16.31% compared to the current static method for the total capacity demand of 90Gbit/s, 110Gbit/s and 130Gbit/s respectively.
