An Analytical Method for Controlling Near Circular Orbits Yang Weilian (Chinese Academy of Space Technology, Beijing 100086) 2003, 23 (05):  .  Abstract ( 1675 )   Save Most of application satellites are running in near circular orbits, and many of them need to be controlled. In real application, it is unnecessary to use the exact dynamic equation for controlling, because a variety of errors exists. Instead, one can take circular orbit approximation, making it easy to handle then a very simple analytic solution can be derived. In order to prove the effectiveness of simplification all the errors ignored during the process of simplifying are estimated. Related Articles | Metrics

Research on Electric Depun Column-Array Antenna on Satellites Ye Yunshang Zhang Zhengguang (Chinese Academy of Space Technology, Beijing 100086) 2003, 23 (05):  .  Abstract ( 1756 )   Save The electrical despun antenna of circular array of 32 elements around a cylindrical surface for a spin stabilized satellite on the synchronous orbit is suggested in this paper. Each element is formed by a column of four radiating elements in a linear array. By means of switch matrix and digital variable power dividers, five contiguous elements are excited simultaneously to form the beam of covering the globe, and then the scanning about the spin axis of the satellite through the circle is obtained. The angular reference is given by the pulses of the earth sensors that is utilized for synchronization at every satellite turn.Gain ripple less than 1dB and beam steps 1 6° in the course of 0°～360° scanning have been obtained.

Research on the Airborne SAR Motion Information Sensor Sun Yongrong Liu Jianye (College of Automation Engineering of Nanjing University of Aeronautics & Astronautics, Nanjing 210016) Chen Wu (Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Kowloon Hong Kong) 2003, 23 (05):  .  Abstract ( 1814 )   Save This paper proposes an improved Motion Information Sensor (MIS) Based on GNSS/SINS for SAR motion compensation. The MIS can provide not only the long term information with absolute accuracy, but also the short term data with high relative accuracy during SAR imaging. System design, error models and navigation algorithms of the MIS are introduced in the paper. The experiment results show that the MIS can provide accurate navigation information (position, velocity and attitude ) to meet the requirements of SAR motion compensation. Especially , the MIS is suitable for the case: the accuracy of airplane master inertial navigation system is too low or not configured. Related Articles | Metrics

Research of CCSDS Lossless Image Compression Applied to Constant-Bit-Rate Channel Jiang Hongxu Zhou Xiaokuan (Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, School of Space Technology, Beijing 100083) 2003, 23 (05):  .  Abstract ( 1613 )   Save In the paper an effective image data lossless compression method is presented, which is mainly used for remote sensing image data transmitted via constant bit rate channel. The algorithm is composed of three parts, decorrelation preprocessor, adaptive entropy coder and output memory controlling. Decorrelation preprocessor comes from the theory of analyzing feature of local texture, the entropy coder is borrowed from lossless data compression recommendation given by the Consultative Committee for System (CCSDS), and the memory controlling is decided by actual condition of input and output channel. These problems of transmission error propagation and controlling of compressed data output buffer are all resolved effectively in the scheme. Related Articles | Metrics
