空间VLBI观测卫星轨道优化

The optimization of satellite orbit for Space-VLBI observation

Lei Liu, Weimin Zheng

摘要:

空间VLBI(Space-VLBI)通过将一台或多台望远镜送入太空,可以获得更高的角分辨率,是VLBI技术的发展趋势。对于SVLBI计划,卫星轨道设计对计划观测的成功与否起着重要的作用。本文提出了我们的轨道优化方案,以方便设计卫星轨道SVLBI观测。为了实现这一点,我们描述了$uv$覆盖与测量指标,并通过找出相应的轨道配置最小化。这样,卫星轨道的设计就转化为一个优化问题。我们可以证明,采用适当的全局极小化方法,可以在合理的时间内找到最佳轨道构型。此外,我们还证明了该方案可以用于SVLBI观测的调度。

英文摘要:

By sending one or more telescopes into space, Space-VLBI (SVLBI) is able to achieve even higher angular resolution and is therefore the trend of the VLBI technique. For SVLBI program, the design of satellite orbits plays an important role for the success of planned observation. In this paper, we present our orbit optimization scheme, so as to facilitate the design of satellite orbit for SVLBI observation. To achieve that, we characterize the $uv$ coverage with a measure index and minimize it by finding out the corresponding orbit configuration. In this way, the design of satellite orbit is converted to an optimization problem. We can prove that, with appropriate global minimization method, the best orbit configuration can be found within the reasonable time. Besides that, we demonstrate this scheme can be used for the scheduling of SVLBI observations.
