Refinement of the solar radiation pressure model for the BDS-3 satellites with considering illuminated antennas
摘要
Solar Radiation Pressure (SRP), which is associated with the satellite’s surface structure and optical properties, plays a crucial role in satellite Precise Orbit Determination (POD). The Satellite Laser Ranging (SLR) validation of the BDS-3 precise orbit from International GNSS Service Multi-GNSS Experiment (IGS MGEX) reveals significant β-angle-dependent errors in C45/C46 satellites, reaching 30 cm at high β angles. Furthermore, the Orbit Boundary Disclosures (OBD) results demonstrate that Inclined Geosynchronous Orbit (IGSO) satellites exhibit significantly inferior orbit accuracy compared to Medium-circular Earth Orbit (MEO) satellites. In view of this phenomenon, a comparison between the theoretical trend and the actual value of the
