A BDSPHERE Solar Radiation Pressure Model for BDS GEO Satellites

摘要

The precision of BDS navigation message based on global satellite laser ranging (SLR) analysis is about 60 cm for geostationary earth orbit (GEO) satellites. There is an obvious gap between the POD accuracy of GEO satellites and IGSO & MEO satellites. The reason being that the GEO satellites lie in high and geostationary orbits. Also, the mature GPS solar radiation pressure (SRP) model is used as a reference in orbit determination for GEO satellite. We uses traditional spherical SRP model as background model and estimates the SRP parameters of a 2-yr precise GEO satellite ephemeris with dynamic smoothing method, and builds a continuous SRP parameter sequence. Thoughts on "Fourier series overlaid linear term" modeling are proposed and an empirical SRP model for BDS GEO satellite (BDSPHERE for short) comes into being. We verify the model based on observation data and the results show that: (1) the signal-in-space range error (SISRE(ORB)) of GEOs based on BDSPHERE model amounts to 0.63 m, while the orbital SISRE(ORB) for 8 h, 12 h and 24 h prediction is 0.79 m, 1.24 m and 1.65 m respectively; (2) compared to traditional spherical SRP model, there is an increase of 56.55%, 65.81%, 63.31% and 58.33% with the BDSPHERE model. The precision of radial orbit by global SLR analysis is 0.597 m, an increase of 70.06%.
