Abstract:

With a  constructed satellite flying virtual scene, we can disply the flying state and the ground tracking of flying satellite in a realtime way. This is useful for orbit design, flying state monitoring and application of satellite. The visulization software with such functions is developed based on studying the satellite orbit caculation, entity modeling, virtual scene assembling and virtual scene driving. The softeware can simulate satellite flying scenes, show the longitude and latitude of satellite in a realtime way. This software has been applied in practice.
