Abstract
Solar Radiation pressure is one of significant perturbation factors in the calculation of dynamic satellites orbits, especially for the mid-high orbit satellites. In order to remove the effects of radiation pressure on mid-high orbit satellites, researchers have developed various radiation pressure models, including empirical and analytical models. According to their advantages or disadvantages and the real satellite space environment, this paper establishes a model for complex structure satellites combining prior sampling satellites in an analytical model with self-correcting method in operation, which approximates the real radiation pressure circumstances. The simulation tests and analysis show good results in both orbit determination and self-correction.
