TT&C Antenna Placement of Sun-Pointing Satellite in Sun-Synchronous Orbit
TT&C communication link of sun pointing satellite in sun-synchronous orbit is easy to be interrupted due to the gain pattern interference area of the satellite's TT&C antennas which are placed in traditional way.In order to reduce this kind of commu-nication link interruption,the antennas'placement on the satellite should be optimized by taking advantage of the characteristic that the orbital plane of the sun-synchronous orbit and the solar vector maintain a relatively fixed.In this paper,the concrete realization process of TT&C antennas'placement for sun pointing satellite in sun-synchronous orbit is given through a simulation example,and the recommended installation angle of the TT&C antennas for sun pointing satellites in different sun-synchronous orbit are also pro-vided as a reference.
