Expected Attitude Angle Design for Spacecraft Multi-target Tracking

This paper studies the spacecraft multi-target tracking. Firstly, the spacecraft expected attitude angle is designed according to the mission requirement, namely having the camera on the chaser spacecraft point strictly to the target spacecraft and maximizing the communication time between the antenna on the chaser spacecraft and the Earth. Then, the appropriate antenna installation angle is calculated based on task constraints. Finally, numerical simulation is presented to verify the effectiveness of the design of expected attitude angle and antenna installation angle.
