The regional navigation constellation in the related technology mainly comprises GEO and IGSO satellites, the global navigation constellation is added with MEO satellites, the low-orbit constellation is mainly used for navigation enhancement, and a complex heterogeneous navigation constellation implementation method based on low, medium and high orbits is lacked at present, so that the requirements of a space service domain and navigation war are met.
The Low Earth Orbit (LEO) navigation satellite constellation can solve the problem of the traditional high Orbit constellation, and is an important component of the current widely developed communication and remote integrated satellite constellation. The LEO orbit height is about 200-2000 km, and the navigation signal transmission distance of broadcasting is short, and the power of signal that falls to the ground is high, and anti-interference, ability such as prevent deceiving also promote to some extent.

step S1201, judging whether the coverage of north and south poles needs to be considered:
if the coverage of north and south poles is not required to be considered, step S1202 is executed;
step S1202, determining that the configuration of the low-orbit sub-constellation comprises a low-orbit Walker constellation, and designing a first variable of the low-orbit Walker constellation, wherein the first variable comprises orbit height, orbit inclination, satellite number, orbit surface number and phase factor;
in the embodiment, under the condition that the coverage of south and north poles does not need to be considered in the design process of the complex heterogeneous constellation, the configuration of the globally covered low-orbit sub-constellation is determined to be the low-orbit Walker constellation, so that the cost can be reduced, and the navigation service quality can be ensured.
In some implementations, designing a first variable of a low-rail Walker constellation includes:
(1) designing a rail height, comprising:
firstly, preliminarily estimating a track radius range;
in some cases, the range of track heights is around 1000km, which can be determined from practical considerations. Radius of the earth Re6378.137 km. And adding the two to obtain the preliminarily estimated orbit radius range.
Secondly, estimating the regression turn number n of the satellite by using a regression condition;
in practical application, the regression orbit or quasi-regression orbit for realizing global coverage is superior to other types of orbits, so that the orbit of the low-orbit Walker constellation satellite is selected as the regression orbit for global coverage in the embodiment, that is, the track of the subsatellite point of the satellite is repeated every day, and the selected coverage characteristic takes the day as a period.
The regression conditions were: (24 hours/day)/(T0 hours/day) n circles/D day, and the number of days on the return track D1, so n ranges [13 or 14 ].
Thirdly, calculating the running period of the satellite by using the regression condition;
here, the operating period T of the satellite is calculated again using the regression condition (24 hr/day)/(T0 hr/circle) of n circles/D days and the number of regression orbit days D of 1, the range of n [13 or 14 ].

Figure BDA0003492090860000051
h=a-Re
where μ represents an earth gravity constant.
The track radius and track height for the turns are shown in the following table:
operating period T 110.7692min 102.8571min
Radius of track a 7639250m 7271950.9m
Height h of track 126111m 893814m
(2) Designing an inclination angle of the track, comprising: designing a track inclination angle for a coverage area except the south and north poles;
when the constellation is required to cover the regions except the north and south poles, the coverage areas of 70 degrees to 70 degrees of south latitude are respectively developed and designed, the inclination angle of the track covering the 70 degrees to 70 degrees of north latitude is about 55 degrees through the optimized design, and in the practical application, the refined design is further carried out by further combining the constellation configuration.

In some implementations, the number of satellites, the number of orbital planes, and the phase factor are designed, including:
the number of satellites, the number of orbital planes and the phase factor are designed with the goal of providing at least two coverage and/or as many satellites in view as possible to the service area.
For providing double coverage to a service area according to the requirement of constellation design, the service quality can be measured by the coverage performance of the constellation to the area, for example, the larger the number of visible satellites, the better.
A schematic of the coverage of a single star is shown in fig. 2, where, gamma is the elevation angle of observation,
Figure BDA0003492090860000064
is the satellite view angle. Only when the elevation angle of the satellite to the user is higher than gamma, the user can establish contact with the satellite, and the ground coverage area corresponding to the under-satellite viewing angle is the coverage area of the satellite.
Angle of view under the satellite
Figure BDA0003492090860000061
The formula for calculating the center angle theta and the coverage radius r of the ground coverage is as follows:
Figure BDA0003492090860000062
Figure BDA0003492090860000063
r=Reθ
since the satellite moves in orbit, the coverage area of the satellite moves on the ground, and therefore, coverage time slots and coverage gaps are generated for the ground service area. In order to improve the coverage rate of a certain area, a constellation is formed by a plurality of satellites, and the coverage of the target area by each satellite is finished by mutual connection of the coverage time slots of the target area. The purpose of constellation optimization is to improve the performance of the system with as little satellite resources as possible or with a reasonable orbital configuration given the number of satellites.
If the coverage of north and south poles needs to be considered, step S1203 is executed;
step S1203, determining that the configuration of the low-orbit sub-constellation includes a low-orbit Walker constellation and a polar-orbit constellation, and designing a first variable of the low-orbit Walker constellation and a second variable of the polar-orbit constellation, where the second variable includes a precession speed, a regression orbit, a polar-orbit constellation parameter, and a right ascension of the ascending intersection point.
In this embodiment, when coverage of north and south poles needs to be considered, it is determined that the low-orbit sub-constellation configuration is a mixed constellation of a low-orbit Walker constellation and a polar-orbit constellation, after step S1202 is executed, design of the polar-orbit constellation needs to be added, and step S1203 is executed.
The orbit inclination angle is a key factor influencing the uniform distribution of the navigation performance of the LEO constellation, in the global coverage including south and north poles, the polar orbit constellation plays the role of a skeleton sub-constellation, the low orbit walker constellation is an effective supplement for encrypting multiple coverage in low and medium latitude areas, and the two are keys for improving the uniformity of the navigation performance.
In some implementations, designing a second variable of the polar constellation includes:
selecting the precession speed of the polar orbit constellation to keep the same as the precession speed of the low orbit Walker constellation;

selecting ascending crossing point right ascension differences according to set step lengths, analyzing the coverage performance of a configuration in which a low-orbit Walker constellation and a polar-orbit constellation are mixed under the condition of different ascending crossing point right ascension differences, selecting the ascending crossing point right ascension with the best coverage performance, and setting the step length to be 10 degrees under some conditions.
The polar orbit constellation portion design is described below in conjunction with an example:
analyzing the low orbit Walker constellation scheme designed in step S1202, and in order to maintain the stability of the relative constellation configuration, the precession speed of the selected polar orbit constellation should be as consistent as possible with the precession speed of the designed low orbit Walker constellation. Preliminarily determining the track inclination angle range of the polar orbit constellation to be 80-100 degrees, the track height range to be 700-1500 km, and analyzing to know that the precession speed decreases along with the increase of the height and decreases along with the increase of the track inclination angle.

And selecting ascending intersection right ascension differences with the step length of 10 degrees, and analyzing the coverage performance of a mixed constellation scheme of the polar orbit constellation and the low orbit Walker constellation selected under the condition of different ascending intersection right ascension differences, so as to select the better ascending intersection right ascension.
