Abstract:In order to simulate the flight status of synchronous satellites in outer space,developing an advanced simulation system of synchronous satellite for the research and performance analysis of satellite has important significance;Because the satellite is flying in a certain orbit,the modeling and rendering of the satellite orbit is a kay link in the development of the satellite simulation system;In this paper, we introduce the mapping algorithm of the scanning cone and the running track of the remote sensing satellite in the communication between the remote sensing satellite and the ground station; Based on the OpenGL basic vector graphics rendering and the use of the world coordinate system and vector method in the drawing process of the required data; Analysis of the angle of the remote sensing satellite scanning cone angle based on the position of the remote sensing satellite;Finally,the feasibility and rendering results of the algorithm are verified by a virtual world 3D engine.
