Configuration stability is essential for a space-based Gravitational-Wave(GW)observa-tory,which can be impacted by orbit insertion uncertainties.Configuration uncertainty propagation is vital for investigating the influences of uncertainties on configuration stability and can be poten-tially useful in the navigation and control of GW observatories.Current methods suffer from draw-backs related to high computational burden.To this end,a Radial-Tangential-Ddirectional State Transition Tensor(RT-DSTT)-based configuration uncertainty propagation method is proposed.First,two sensitive directions are found by capturing the dominant secular terms.Considering the orbit insertion errors along the two sensitive directions only,a reduced-order RT-DSTT model is developed for orbital uncertainty propagation.Then,the relationship between the uncertainties in the orbital states and the uncertainties in the configuration stability indexes is mapped using high-order derivatives.The result is a semi-analytical solution that can predict the deviations in the con-figuration stability indexes given orbit insertion errors.The potential application of the proposed RT-DSTT-based method in calculating the feasible domain is presented.The performance of the proposed method is validated on the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna(LISA)project.Simula-tions show that the proposed method can provide similar results to the STT-based method but requires only half of the computational time.
