Research on Effects of Satellite Attitude on Modulation Transfer Function of High-resolution Space Optical Remote Sensor

In this paper, the necessity of analysing the satellite platform attitude maneuver performance impact on imaging quality is pointed out, basing on a review of high-resolution space optical remote sensor development. Using some mission requirements and the satellite performance indicators as simulation input conditions, with Monte Carlo method, the analysing of attitude maneuver range that meets the modulation transfer function of image motion velocity compensation larger than 0.95 was taken. The simulation results were showed in three-dimensional surface graphs intuitively, which indicated the attitude stability and attitude measurement accuracy specifications of the satellite platform meet the imaging requirements in the range of elevation angle within±5° and rolling angle within ±45°.
