Abstract

Abstract: To give a solution how to catch relay satellite by spacecraft in the simulation system of manned craft, several 2D craft models were studied in the simulation software based on HLA, and some sufficient and necessary conditions and the methods were given to compute the visibility of relay satellite according to these models. On these methods, 3D antenna model and the orbit and attitude model of spacecraft were researched, and 3D antenna model was given with attitude information of craft. Finally, matrix translations were used to translate some vectors to the same reference frame, and the visibility was decided by these sufficient and necessary conditions. These models were implemented by C program in the experiment. The result shows that the antenna model with the attitude information of craft in 3D is flexible and effective to compute the visibility between craft and relay satellite in the simulation of manned craft mission.
