Aiming at the defects of large data volume, large calculation amount and the like of single injection of the conventional ephemeris, the invention provides the on-orbit updating method of the constellation ephemeris, which reduces the calculation amount and transmission bandwidth through the strategies of sampling calculation and sliding updating, and can meet the use requirements of different ephemeris precisions through the design of sampling points. The solution of the invention is further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of embodiments.
Fig. 1 is a flowchart illustrating an on-orbit constellation ephemeris update method according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, an on-orbit update method for constellation ephemeris includes:
first, in step 101, the orbiting ephemeris is updated. For a satellite newly added to the network, preferentially updating the extrapolated multi-point ephemeris data within the time of T0-T0 +2T, wherein the extrapolated multi-point ephemeris data is obtained through ground injection, the extrapolated multi-point ephemeris comprises satellite extrapolated ephemeris data of a plurality of points, the time interval of each point is equal to the constellation use sampling interval, taking T90 min as an example, after a new satellite enters the orbit, preferentially updating the extrapolated multi-point ephemeris data within the time of T0-T0 +3h, and the constellation use sampling interval is 1h, namely four points of data of T0, T0+1h, T0+2h and T0+3h are updated. When the satellite is normally positioned in the orbiting GNSS, updating a real-time broadcast two-point ephemeris at the time of T0 and T0+ T and performing full-network broadcast, wherein T is the ephemeris extrapolation time requirement, T0 is the current time, taking T equal to 90min as an example, and after the satellite is normally positioned in the orbiting GNSS, the satellite updates data at two times of T0 and T0+90 min; in the embodiment of the invention, the extrapolated multi-point ephemeris data is obtained by ground injection and the real-time broadcast two-point ephemeris, which are current time ephemeris and extrapolated time ephemeris determined after GNSS positioning;
next, at step 102, the on-orbit ephemeris is updated. When the satellite is normally in orbit after being networked, updating two-point ephemeris data once per second by adopting a sliding updating method, and updating data at two moments of T0 and T0+ T at the same time each time, as shown in FIG. 2, wherein T0 is the current moment and T0+ T is the longest moment of task requirement, and after sampling sliding updating, each satellite can be ensured to have high-precision ephemeris from the current moment to the subsequent T time period. Taking T ═ 90min as an example, the ephemeris of T0, T0+90min is updated in the first second, the data of T0+1s and T0+90min +1s are updated in the second, the data at two moments are updated each time, after 90min, all the data on the satellite are updated once and the constellation shares the ephemeris of each satellite for the subsequent 90 min; and
at the same time, at step 103, the extrapolated multi-point ephemeris data is updated. And updating the extrapolated multi-point ephemeris data in the subsequent 2T moment at a specified time interval, such as T time, and using the extrapolated multi-point ephemeris data as backup ephemeris under abnormal constellation operation. For example, at time T0, T0+90min, and the like, the constellation usage sampling interval is 1 hour, and the extrapolated multi-point ephemeris data is periodically updated (T0, T0+1h, T0+2h, T0+3h), (T0+90min, T0+1h +90min, T0+2h +90min, T0+3h +90 min). In other embodiments of the present invention, if the requirement of the satellite for ephemeris accuracy is higher, the number of ephemeris sampling points to be updated in real time is adjusted according to the actual use requirement of the constellation ephemeris and the satellite orbit extrapolation accuracy, so as to improve the ephemeris accuracy, wherein if the accuracy is high in a short time and low in a T period, the sampling points may be selected to be added within T0 to T0+ T, for example, T0, T0+1/2T, T0+ T, and T0+ T may be selected at the ephemeris update time, where T refers to a time length in which high accuracy is required; and if the ephemeris accuracy needs to be improved in the T period, increasing the sampling points from T0 to T may be selected, for example, the ephemeris update time may be selected from T0, T0+1/3T, and T0+2/3T, T0+ T.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the data protocol of the extrapolated multi-point ephemeris data is the same as that of the real-time broadcast two-point ephemeris data, and the data amount occupation is reduced in the form of accumulated seconds, and the format of the extrapolated multi-point ephemeris data is shown in table 1 and includes: data type, data length, ephemeris interval, initial time, satellite position, and satellite velocity. Wherein the data type is used to distinguish whether the data is extrapolated multi-point ephemeris or real-time broadcast two-point ephemeris, in an embodiment of the invention, 0x5A represents extrapolated multi-point ephemeris, and 0xA5 represents real-time broadcast two-point ephemeris; the data length is equal to N x 24+9, wherein N is the number of ephemeris data; the ephemeris interval is the time interval of two pieces of ephemeris data, and the unit is second; the initial time refers to the time corresponding to the first ephemeris data and the accumulated seconds after the time of the constellation timing epoch; and the ephemeris data comprises satellite coordinate values X, Y, Z and velocities VX, VY and VZ of the satellite in each direction, each ephemeris data comprising 24 bytes as a floating point number.
