NeQuick G model based scale factor determination for using SBAS ionosphere corrections at low earth orbit

A space-based augmentation system (SBAS) provides real-time correction data for global navigation satellite system (GNSS) users near ground. In order to use the SBAS ionosphere correction for low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites, the correction should be scaled down for the LEO altitude. This scale factor varies with ionosphere distribution and it is hard to determine the value at LEO in real time. We propose a real-time scale factor determination method by using Galileo GNSS’s NeQuick G model. A LEO satellite GPS data and SBAS data received on ground were used to evaluate the performance of the NeQuick G derived variable scale factor. The NeQuick G derived scale factor shows a significant accuracy improvement over NeQuick G model or pre-determined constant scale factor. It improves a vertical positioning accuracy of the LEO satellite. The error mean reductions of the vertical positioning over NeQuick G and the constant scale factor are 31.5% and 11.7%, respectively.     

First laser measurements to space debris in Poland

The Borowiec Satellite Laser Ranging station (BORL 7811, Borowiec) being a part of the Space Research Centre of the Polish Academy of Sciences (SRC PAS) went through modernization in 2014–2015. One of the main tasks of the modernization was the installation of a high-energy laser module dedicated to space debris tracking. Surelite III by Continuum is a Nd:YAG pulse laser with 10?Hz repetition rate, a pulse width of 3–5?ns and a pulse energy of 450?mJ for green (532?nm). This new laser unit was integrated with the SLR system at Borowiec performing standard satellite tracking. In 2016 BORL 7811 participated actively to the observational campaigns related to the space debris targets from LEO region managed by the Space Debris Study Group (SDSG) of the International Laser Ranging Service (ILRS).Currently, Borowiec station regularly tracks 36 space debris from the LEO regime, including typical rocket bodies (Russian/Chinese) and cooperative targets like the inactive TOPEX/Poseidon, ENVISAT, OICETS and others. In this paper the first results of space debris laser measurements obtained by the Borowiec station in period August 2016 – January 2017 are presented. The results gained by the SRC PAS Borowiec station confirm the rotation of the defunct TOPEX/Poseidon satellite which spins with a period of approximately 10?s. The novelty of this work is the presentation of the sample results of the Chinese CZ-2C R/B target (NORAD catalogue number 31114) which is equipped (probably) with retroreflectors. Laser measurements to space debris is a very desirable topic for the next years, especially in the context of the Space Surveillance and Tracking (SST) activity. Some targets are very easy to track like defunct ENVISAT or TOPEX/Poseidon. On the other hand, there is a big population of different LEO targets with different orbital and physical parameters, which are challenging for laser ranging like small irregular debris and rocket boosters.     

基于低轨稀疏星座的蓝绿激光对潜定位研究

潜艇只在必要时刻才浮出水面，对实时通信和导航定位造成极大制约。蓝绿激光具有深水穿透性高、衰减系数低等优势，已在机载和星载平台对潜艇通信中得到验证。借鉴GNSS导航信号产生原理，结合蓝绿激光通信测距一体化与低轨卫星自身精密定轨，提出了基于蓝绿激光通信的低轨卫星对潜定位算法。通过在激光通信中增加载波相位调制，实现潜艇激光接收器的伪距测量，联合其高程测量信息实现水下定位。以一带一路海域，特别是中国南海区域为服务对象，优化星座参数设计了3颗卫星组成的低轨稀疏星座。潜艇在星座覆盖区域内保持静态，间隔1~3min完成至少两次通信测距和导航电文接收，联合两组观测数据、精密星历及高程测量信息进行定位解算。仿真结果显示，在卫星过境期间，考虑卫星定轨精度，激光在空气、水下传播误差等因素，潜艇可在水下实现X、Z方向定位误差优于100m，Y方向误差约100~150m的高精度定位，对提升潜艇的战场作战能力具有意义。

针对低轨(LEO)Walker星座构型维持问题，分析在地球非球形引力和大气阻力摄动下卫星的运动规律及星座构型演化特性。结果表明，低轨Walker星座构型发散主要体现在由初始轨道参数不一致引起的轨道高度衰减和相位漂移，国内首例低轨Walker星座实测轨道数据验证了理论分析的正确性。结合星座任务特性与构型发散特点，提出了基于基准卫星的相对相位维持策略，选取一颗卫星作为基准卫星，使星座中其它所有卫星相对于基准卫星的相位漂移量累加值最小，通过对目标卫星实施一次相对基准卫星的轨道高度抬升/降低，维持星间的相对位置关系。实际工程应用表明了此策略的有效性，不仅降低星座构型维持的复杂度及频次，节约燃料，且轨控时间短，为我国今后卫星星座的构型维持提供参考。

Ka频段低轨遥感卫星可变编码调制应用效能研究

分辨率的不断提高对低轨遥感卫星的星地数据传输能力提升提出了迫切需求,导致X频段星地数传通道压力急剧增加,而Ka频段可用带宽是X频段的4倍,理论上可大幅提升传输能力。当前低轨遥感卫星的星地数据传输通常采用固定编码调制（CCM）和可变编码调制（VCM）,均未利用地面站仰角增大时大气衰减减小所带来的信道条件改善,对链路资源造成浪费。针对此问题,对指定地面站和链路可用度,综合考虑自由空间损耗和大气衰减随接收仰角增加而同时减小的特性,提出基于DVB S2标准的Ka频段星上VCM系统实现方案,给出传输效能评估标准,并对降雨特性不同的喀什站、北京站、三亚站CCM,VCM的Ka频段传输效能进行了对比仿真分析,以寻找出适合不同站点的星地数传方案。仿真结果表明：干旱少雨的喀什站更适合采用CCM,且链路可用度高达99.82%;雨量中等的北京站可根据用户使用需求灵活选择CCM或VCM;而降雨丰富的三亚站更适合采用VCM,不仅可将传输效能提升8.37%,还可将链路可用度提升11.23%。
