Abstract

Abstract: To meet the requirements of the collaborative drill for the ground operation and control system of the satellite constellation, as well as the verification and evaluation of in-orbit complex missions, the design ideas and implementation methods of the collaborative simulation system for satellite constellation flight missions were proposed. By adopting the time correction mechanism of the time-scale distributor, the time synchronization problem among the simulation nodes and the operation and control simulation system was solved. By adopting the communication technology based on improved PDXP + UDP, the problem of cross-node data interface and inter-satellite communication simulation was resolved. A simulation master control system was constructed for status setting, data communication, simulation management, and other operations. A satellite simulator system was constructed for multi-satellite flight mission simulation. The system achieved seamless connection with the operation and control simulation system. The simulation process was consistent with the operation and control process. The simulation results truly reflect the whole process of satellite constellation mission execution.
