Satellite Orbit
Slant Range
- Analytical model
- Function of orbit altitude
- Visibility constrains
Analytical vs. Simulated Distance
- STK based simulation compared to theroy
- derivation less than 2%
Notes:
Slant Range
Analytica model
circular orbit
satellite passed observer at 90deg. elevation
Function of orbit altitude
1350 km orbit hight
45deg. inclination
Visibility contrains
permanent line-of-sight (important for connectivity assumption)
20deg. min. elevation
Analytical vs. Simulated Distance
STK based measurement of distance compared to analytical values
error might be caused by improper placements of obsever
