摘要

Modern space situational awareness encompasses the detection, tracking, identification, and characterization of resident space objects. As the population density of Earth orbiting objects continues to increase, the goal of maintaining accurate space situational awareness grows ever more challenging. Tracking a population of this magnitude when the objects are sizeable enough for ground-based sensors to monitor is sufficiently challenging on its own. Additional complexities arise when objects below a certain size are considered, in the nano- and picosatellite range, for instance. As miniaturized satellite hardware continues to evolve, the density of objects in this range becomes a concern because, though small, they can still present a threat to orbiting assets. In this case, it is useful to supplement ground-sensor capabilities with orbiting platforms to support situational awareness goals. This study is focused on the application of numerical techniques, leveraging concepts from computer graphics, to develop a coverage model for the planar above-the-horizon coverage case. The model is general in that sensor and target regions may be heterogeneous and of any planar shape. The ensuing time-invariant and time-varying examples demonstrate approaches to numerically address the problem of optimal constellation design for space situational awareness applications.
