METHOD OF CONTROL OF EARTH ARTIFICIAL SATELLITES DURING OBSERVATION OF EARTH SURFACE

摘要

FIELD: space engineering; space systems used for profucing video information on Earth objects. SUBSTANCE: method of control of Earth artificial satellite during observation of Earth objects is based on prediction of moment of passage of artificial satellite of orbit ascending node nearest to moment of beginning of observation, noting of local vartical at moment of time being predicted, orientation of thrust vector in direction of transversal and correction of orbit at moment of passage of orbit ascending node at preset modulus of speed. EFFECT: enhanced reliability of observation results due to compensation of altitude variations. 1 dwg
