Abstract
We report a method for determining the field of view (FOV) of a dawn–dusk sun-synchronous orbit satellite based on an improved observation mode. The target trajectory distribution model in geosynchronous orbit (GEO) is established, the natural rendezvous mode is improved, and the observation mode of the satellite is determined. A scheme for determining the thresholds of cross-orbit field of view (COFOV) and the along-orbit field of view (AOFOV) was developed. The result shows that the coverage of the satellite can reach more than 95% when the improved observation mode is used to observe the GEO target. When the revisit period of the satellite is one day, the threshold of the COFOV is 15°, and the threshold of the AOFOV is 12°.
