For the visibility optimization problem of satellite constellations, this paper presents an
efficient hybrid optimization method taking multiple constraints into account. To reduce the …

This paper proposes a geometrical multi-satellite discontinuous-coverage analysis method
for arbitrary fields that considers the J 2 perturbation. First, to calculate the single-satellite …

The present work proposes a closed-form solution for circular repeat ground track (RGT)
orbit designs and constellations and its application strategy. The proposed solution is an …

This paper mainly deals with the configuration design of hybrid constellations for Earth
discontinuous coverage. Firstly, a general design model of the hybrid constellation with …

In this study, we propose an optimal constellation determination method for Earth
observation satellites. First, orbit requirements for the interferometric synthetic aperture radar …

A growing interest in constellations of small satellites has recently emerged due to the
increasing capability of these platforms and their reduced time and cost of development …

Coverage capacity analysis of satellites constellation is the basis of satellite system design
and performance evaluation, which are essential in the application of satellite technology. A …

In this study, we investigated the design methods of satellite constellations to conduct near-
real-time surveillance reconnaissance of the Korean Peninsula. Also, we designed satellite …

To efficiently and accurately design satellite constellations equipped with Reentry Glide
Vehicles (RGVs), new analytical solutions are developed for calculating their coverage …

Satellite constellation design problems have been vastly investigated in the existing
literature. This work explores decomposition-based methods for the satellite constellation …
