Constellation Optimization Design for Space-Based Optical Surveillance Based on Phase-Volume Coverage and Observation Geometry Quality Index
A fundamental challenge in space-based optical surveillance constellation design is the quantitative evaluation of coverage capability across the entire low-Earth-orbit (LEO) space. A phase-volume coverage model in the 4D (a,i,Ω,u) phase-space is proposed, and the multi-coverage ratio Rmulti, mean covering satellite co...
