Satellite Constellation Orbit Design Optimization with Combined Genetic Algorithm and Semianalytical Approach
This paper focuses on maximizing the percent coverage and minimizing the revisit time for a small satellite constellation with limited coverage. A target area represented by a polygon defined by grid points is chosen instead of using a target point only. The constellation consists of nonsymmetric an...
