基于中轨跟踪与数据中继卫星系统(MEO-TDRSS)星座方案的功能和业务特性,对4种常见星座实现的我国中轨TDRSS的覆盖特性和星际链路性能进行了仿真分析和比较。仿真结果表明,我国的中轨TDRSS宜采用具备卫星全球均匀分布特性的玫瑰星座和共地面轨迹星座。
Based on the functionality and traffic characteristics of the Medium Earth Orbit Tracking and Data Relay Satellite System(MEO-TDRSS), the coverage properties and Inter-Satellite Link(ISL) performances of four familiar satellite constellation schemes which are adopted as the MEO-TDRSS of China are simulated and compared. The simulation results indicate that Rosette and Common-track constellations, whose satellites are distributed in the celestial sphere uniformly, are appropriate for MEO-TDRSS of China.
