Abstract:With the rapid proliferation of low-orbit mega-constellations, a pressing challenge has emerged: how to effectively conduct TT&C (Telemetry, Tracking, and Command) operations for the vast number of satellites within these constellations. Currently, TT&C operations for domestic satellites predominantly rely on a centralized, pre-allocated resource management model based on aerospace TT&C ground station networks. This model inherently limits the number of satellites that can be managed and is ill-suited for the demands of future mega-constellation control missions. To address this issue, a spaceborne TT&C solution has been designed to support both space-based and ground-based opportunistic access. This solution ensures 24/7 quasi-real-time TT&C and health status return for the satellites. Featuring omnidirectional beam and the capability for both ground-based and space-based opportunistic access, it can effectively coordinate with a ground/space-based opportunistic access TT&C system to execute satellite access and automated TT&C tasks. Simulations were conducted to analyze the availability of satellites equipped with this spaceborne TT&C system in an inertial attitude, ensuring that satellites can effectively establish TT&C links regardless of attitude. This provides a feasible pathway for the automated TT&C of large-scale satellite constellations.
