“…With the rapid development of science and technology, satellite technology plays an increasingly important role in mobile communications [1], remote sensing detection [2], military reconnaissance [3], disaster monitoring [4], navigation [5], and other fields. With the deepening of the application field, the complexity of space missions has gradually increased, and an increasing number of space missions can no longer be completed by a single satellite.…”

Constellation-to-ground coverage analysis is an important problem in practical satellite applications. The classical net point method is one of the most commonly used algorithms in resolving this problem, indicating that the computation efficiency significantly depends on the high-precision requirement. On this basis, an improved cell area-based method is proposed in this paper, in which a cell is used as the basic analytical unit. By calculating the accuracy area of a cell that is partly contained by the ground region or partly covered by the constellation, the accurate coverage area can be obtained accordingly. Experiments simulating different types of coverage problems are conducted, and the results reveal the correctness and high efficiency of the proposed analytical method.
