英文摘要：

The optimal design method for regional coverage common-track satellite constellation based on Genetic Algorithm Toolkit （GATOOL） of MATLAB was proposed. The parametric characteristics of the common-track constellation were analyzed. The optimal design method based on GATOOL was studied and some optimal constellation schemes for China were proposed. Simulation results show that the optimal common-track constellation can provide favorable coverage performance to China with fewer satellites, and hence is appropriate for the regional coverage satellite system of China.
