Abstract:Satellite network is an effective method to meet the demand of future space communication, in order to realize the visualization of satellite network, a satellite network visualization simulation system is design. The system includes constellation design sub-system, constellation coverage performance analysis sub-system, data disposal sub-system and visualization sub-system. In the course of networking, firstly the parameters of constellation are set up in constellation design sub-system, orbit parameters of the satellites in the constellation are calculated according to orbit parameter model, and the calculating results are exported to constellation coverage performance analysis sub-system, which accomplishes the analysis, evaluation and display of coverage effect for latitude, region and the global. The results of simulation demonstrate that the system can real-timely calculate and display satellite network, the calculation precision is 12% higher than STK simulation software, the system runs stably and has a good interface.
