| 内容記述 | Space Shuttle navigation is defined, in a narrow sense, as the task of maintaining adequate knowledge of vehicle position and velocity. The state of the Orbiter in terms of this goal is described by a vector of at least six elements, three for position and three for velocity, at a given time. These are referred to as the 'state vector' or simply as the state. Shuttle navigation will relay on a blend of ground-based and onboard systems. The onboard systems will be capable of state propagation at all times and will perform state determination during the latter part of the entry from orbit. The ground-based system will be capable of accurate state propagation for free-flight phases. Radio communication will be necessary in order for the ground and onboard capabilities to work as a coordinated system. The use of radio equipment for state determination is discussed for the ascent, orbit, rendezvous, descent, and abort phases of Shuttle missions. |
