A Method of Coverage Analysis for Multipoint Coupling Plasma Detection on Space Processes

So far the analysis method of detective coverage in multipoint coupling plasma detective missions on space processes is still at the stage of quahtative analysis.Statistical analysis of a certain space region for the satellites also cannot undergo further quantitative analysis.To meet the needs of fast development of space science missions,on the basis of correlation function and space processes analysis,a coverage analysis method based on θ-t_R coverage diagram is proposed.By analysis of θ-t_r coverage diagram in accumulative time period of various design alternative,the appropriate design can be chosen according to the characteristics of coverage range.Then quantitative analysis is made on multipoint coupling detective processes of two coplanar elliptic orbits,with which the method is verified.
