Abstract:

Compared with the traditional application direction of SAR satellites, the first generation of China's L-band differential interferometric SAR (L-SAR) satellite is mainly used to realize global accurate surface deformation measurement. In order to achieve the deformation measurement index of heavy-orbit differential interferometry better than 5 cm, it is necessary to solve the engineering problem of high-precision regression of satellite reference orbit. In this paper, a precision reference repeating orbit optimization design method is proposed. The high-order dynamic model is established by analyzing the impact of gravity field with different complexities on the precision of regression orbits; The modified sun-synchronous regression orbit parameters achieved by taking into account J4 perturbation are used as the initial value for the algorithm, and carry out the orbit optimization by using a heuristic multi-objective evolutionary algorithm with the goal of satisfying the convergent domain value of the satellite's position and velocity regression accuracy in the WGS-84 coordinate system. Simulation tests show that the regression accuracy of the optimization results can reach centimeter level, which is better than the established engineering indexes, and the validity and correctness of the method have been verified by L-SAR satellites in orbit.
