APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR DISTANCE MEASUREMENT TO SATELLITES USING MULTIPLE GROUND STATIONS

摘要

Disclosed is an apparatus and method for measuring a distance to a satellite using a plurality of ground stations. A method of measuring a distance to a satellite performed by a primary ground station includes generating schedule data for measuring a distance to the satellite for each of the primary ground station and a plurality of secondary ground stations; Transmitting the generated schedule data to each of the plurality of secondary ground stations; Performing distance measurement to the satellite using scenario data for controlling distance measuring equipment included in the main ground station according to the generated schedule data; Receiving a result of measuring a distance to the satellite performed by each of the plurality of sub-ground stations according to the generated schedule data; Generating result data for the satellite by merging the distance measurement result performed by the primary ground station and the distance measurement result received from each of the plurality of secondary ground stations; And predicting the position of the satellite using the generated result data.
