Abstract

An original technique is proposed for determining the overlap of visibility zones of auroral imagers from two spacecrafts: Meteor-MP and Probe. The peculiarity of the method is that it takes into account the orientation of the Probe spacecraft relative to the Sun and the angle of slope of the satellite imager Laetitia. Other conditions of the space experiment are also considered related to the shadow parts of the satellite orbits and the Moon phases. The method is an integral part of the software package for studying the polar ionosphere characteristics and monitoring its state. It has been experimentally shown that in order to obtain the maximum number of overlapping visibility zones for the imagers, the space experiment must be started during the spring or autumn equinox.

在卫星轨道上用极光成像仪进行空间实验的技术

摘要

提出了一种确定流星成像器可见性区域重叠的原始技术，该技术来自于两个航天器：Meteor-MP和Probe。该方法的独特之处在于它考虑了探头的方向航天器相对于太阳和卫星成像仪Laetitia的倾斜角度。还考虑了空间实验的其他条件，这些条件与卫星轨道的阴影部分和月相有关。该方法是用于研究极地电离层特性并监视其状态的软件包的组成部分。实验已经表明，为了获得成像器的最大重叠可见区数，必须在春分或秋分时开始空间实验。
