Abstract EN
This paper studies the influence of orbital element error on coverage calculation of a satellite.
In order to present the influence, an analysis method based on the position uncertainty of the satellite shown by an error ellipsoid is proposed.
In this error ellipsoid, positions surrounding the center of the error ellipsoid mean different positioning possibilities which present three-dimensional normal distribution.
The possible subastral points of the satellite are obtained by sampling enough points on the surface of the error ellipsoid and projecting them on Earth.
Then, analysis cases are implemented based on these projected subastral points.
Finally, a comparison report of coverage calculation between considering and not considering the error of orbital elements is given in the case results.
