Abstract

The article considers the problem of controlling the relative motion of spacecraft (SC) flying in tandem for interferometric imaging. The effect of the geometry of the tandem configuration on the value of the effective baseline in constructing a digital elevation model is analyzed taking into account the availability of certain geographic latitudes of the Earth’s surface for radar surveys. Restrictions on the location of operating intervals of the active SC with a transmitting antenna are considered to exclude the possible irradiation of another SC in tandem. The problems of orbit correction for changing the geometry of the tandem configuration are considered. Energy costs are estimated.

双基地干涉测量中串联配置几何的控制

摘要

本文考虑了控制串联成像的航天器（SC）相对运动的问题。分析了串联构型的几何形状对构建数字高程模型时有效基线值的影响，并考虑了雷达测量地球表面某些地理纬度的可用性。有源天线通过发射天线的工作间隔位置的限制被认为排除了另一台SC可能的串联辐射。考虑了用于改变串联构造的几何形状的轨道校正问题。估计能源成本。
