Abstract

A calculating method for deducing all possible scenarios of satellite members and possibilities thereof in a low earth orbiting (LEO) satellite constellation is described, which is achieved mainly by relying on the spherical geometry analysis and probabilities and statistics technologies, in an attempt to rapidly and precisely obtain the concerned scenarios and possibilities thereof observed on the earth ground. With any user-defined orbital parameters and a position of an observation station for the scenarios on the earth ground inputted, all the possible scenarios and possibilities thereof can be obtained with the calculating method.
