摘要

This Note has introduced the concept of solar sail heliocentric Earth-following orbits. By exploiting the force due to solar radiation pressure on a solar sail, the line of apsides of a heliocentric orbit is rotated such that the aphelion is always directed along the sun-Earth line. This orbit control has been achieved with a simple apsides steering law. By further assuming that the semimajor axis and eccentricity remain constant along the orbit, an analytic expression for the required sail performance has been derived. Removing this assumption allows for slightly better performing heliocentric Earth-following orbits for small sail lightness numbers. Compared with an inertially fixed Keplerian orbit, the heliocentric Earth-following orbits increase the time spent within a predefined cone around the sun-Earth line by an average factor of 1.17 for a sail performance equal to that of NASA's Sunjammer mission (i.e., maximum sail lightness number of 0.0455). For an optimal solar sail steering law, which is directed more radially than the apsides steering law, this factor increases further to an average factor of 1.31. Further improvements in the performance can be achieved when considering a larger sail lightness number of 0.1, which should be achievable in the future by building upon the technology developed for Sunjammer. This lightness number can increase the percentage observation time compared with a Keplerian orbit by a factor of 1.79. Applications of the heliocentric Earth-following orbits have been identified as space weather forecasting and NEOs surveillance, which both require continuous observations taken along the sun-Earth line. This can be achieved by a phased constellation of solar sail satellites along the heliocentric Earth-following orbits.
