Orbit control system for stratospheric satellite

Stratospheric aircraft has received a heightened research focus currently. Stratospheric satellite is a new stratospheric aircraft which is low cost and low power consume, it use StratoSail to control movement toward south and north , and make sure it move form east to west around earth. In this paper, the wind field environment for stratospheric satellite motion is analyzed, the constitution and trajectory control principle of stratospheric satellite is introduced, the kinematic models of sphere and aerodynamic sail are constituted, and the simulation calculation in different wind field conditions is carried through. The simulation result has shown that the control system can achieve the steady control of stratospheric satellite towards south and north in wind field break disturbance, and ensure the satellite move towards east and west.
