The conventional method to measure the tracking accuracy of antenna is based on the boresight tower. But the accuracy of this method is not very high because the result is easy to be disturbed by reflecting electromagnetic wave from ground, surrounding buildings and terrains under low elevation in measuring. And a boresight tower and a lot of corresponding equipments are needed in this method. It costs both time and money. This paper presents a new method of using precise geostationary satellite orbit to measure the tracking accuracy. It is easy to operate. Moreover, the accuracy of this method is higher than the conventional one. The feasibility of the new method is validated in comparison with the conventional one, so it can be used in the construction and maintenance of ground stations.
Operational simulator is a simulated training system used in a flight control center to train and improve mission operators’ ability to control and track spacecrafts, constructing a realistic mission-like circumstance for the system drilling. But previous simulator had not a centralized monitor. It must be operated and monitored at different terminals. Usually several operators are required to operate at the same time with a demanded order. It is very inconvenient to use. So, the centralized monitor software is specially designed for Chang’E-1 operational simulator. It is used for operations, status setting, Data management and monitors of the simulator. This paper introduces functional requirements, network structure, and design scheme of modules of the software. The object-oriented programming of plug-ins is adopted in the program development. The practice proves that it is very convenient for a single user to operate the Chang’E-1 operational simulator by using the centralized monitor software, and it also saves manpower and cut expense. The software architecture can be applied in centralized monitor software of future simulators.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
