Abstract

Super-agile satellites with dynamic imaging capabilities can significantly improve the imaging efficiency of space-borne Earth observation. However, the image modulation transfer function (image MTF) of dynamic imaging varies dramatically with changes in the attitude maneuver status while improving observation efficiency. Therefore, both the observation efficiency and image MTF should be considered in the imaging mission planning of super-agile satellites. Existing imaging mission planning methods are mainly aimed at traditional agile satellites that are not capable of dynamic imaging, and the mainly optimization objectives are coverage revenue, spatial resolution, and task performance time, without considering the observation efficiency and image MTF as the optimization objectives. To overcome the problem of image MTF degradation caused by dynamic imaging, a mission planning method which considers the degradation of the image MTF and observation efficiency was proposed. Firstly, a mapping relationship between the angular velocity of the attitude maneuvering and the image MTF was constructed. On this basis, a Pareto multi-objective imaging mission planning model of partial order based was established. Considering the particularity of the model, the non-dominated sorting strategy of the NSGA-II algorithm was redesigned when solving the model using NSGA-II algorithm. Finally, the imaging tasks of different scales in single satellite and multi-satellite simulation scenes were set, and the proposed imaging mission planning method was verified. The planning results showed that the proposed method can achieve a balanced optimization of the image MTF and task efficiency under the premise of ensuing maximum observation coverage revenue.
