Analysis of Ballistic Structures of Multichannel Communication Satellite Systems on Precessing Elliptic Orbits

Abstract

Two models of intersatellite communication channels in satellite systems on precessing elliptic orbits are considered. By assuming that these systems provide for a continuous survey of the Earth of the necessary multiplicity, algorithms of the analysis of ballistic system structures are constructed for these models in order to maintain multichannel global communication and organization of corresponding intersatellite channels. The algorithm operation is illustrated by numerical examples. This paper develops the results from [1–3], where a similar approach was advanced for the analysis of ballistic structures of satellite systems with simplified models of motion.
