Vi. Shestikhin et Sn. Lukyanov, OPTIMIZATION OF CONTINUOUS-COVERAGE SATELLITE SYSTEMS WITH THE DYNAMICS OF THE ORBITAL STRUCTURES TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT, Soviet journal of optical technology, 60(3), 1993, pp. 163-165
One version of the construction of a satellite system is considered, a
nd a method is proposed to ensure its stability over a prolonged, esse
ntially unlimited existence. The method is based on studies of the law
s governing the evolution of spacecraft orbits and an analysis of the
causes of deformation of the orbital structure. The features of the fu
nctioning conditions of optoelectronic equipment are taken into accoun
t separately in the process of solving the problem.
