Orbit determination and prediction of GEO satellite of BeiDou during repositioning maneuver

In order to establish a continuous GEO satellite orbit during repositioning maneuvers, a suitable maneuver force model has been established associated with an optimal orbit determination method and strategy. A continuous increasing acceleration is established by constructing a constant force that is equivalent to the pulse force, with the mass of the satellite decreasing throughout maneuver. This acceleration can be added to other accelerations, such as solar radiation, to obtain the continuous acceleration of the satellite. The orbit determination method and strategy are illuminated, with subsequent assessment of the orbit being determined and predicted accordingly. The orbit of the GEO satellite during repositioning maneuver can be determined and predicted by using C-Band pseudo-range observations of the BeiDou GEO satellite with COSPAR ID 2010-001A in 2011 and 2012. The results indicate that observations before maneuver do affect orbit determination and prediction, and should therefore be selected appropriately. A more precise orbit and prediction can be obtained compared to common short arc methods when observations starting 1 day prior the maneuver and 2 h after the maneuver are adopted in POD (Precise Orbit Determination). The achieved URE (User Range Error) under non-consideration of satellite clock errors is better than 2 m within the first 2 h after maneuver, and less than 3 m for further 2 h of orbit prediction.     

基于BP神经网络的自主定轨自适应Kalman滤波算法

针对Sage Husa自适应滤波方法存在的窗函数开窗大小选择问题,提出一种基于BP神经网络学习估计系统协方差矩阵的自适应Kalman滤波算法。该算法以Kalman滤波预测残差向量作为网络输入,通过网络分段离线学习确定预测残差向量与预测残差协方差矩阵间的非线性关系,自适应地估计Kalman滤波系统协方差矩阵。将其应用到自主定轨系统,仿真结果表明利用本文算法自主定轨60天星座平均URE误差小于1.9米,且能够快速跟踪到系统噪声的突变,较Kalman滤波方法和Sage Husa自适应滤波方法具有更好的性能。
