Tracking and Data Relay Satellite (TDRS) has been seen as bridge not only between user spacecrafts in LEO(Low Earth Orbit) or MEO(Middle Earth Orbit) but also between user spacecraft and groundstation. The paper firstly introduces the main function of STK and its components. Then based on the characteristics of Relay Satellite Scheduling, a scheduling system is designed with vc++/STK/X and validated by a set of typical operation datas.The result shows that the model can resolve small-scale relay satellite scheduling problems and reduce exploitative difficulty of application.
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.
