An Analysis on the Considerations of Satellite Altimeter Orbit Design
卫星高度计轨道设计的因素分析

The orbit design of satellite altimeter need to consider orbit height,eccentricity,orbit inclination and repeat cycle etc.parameters.This paper introduces some factors relate to altimeter orbit and sampling patterns.This paper also describes of design criterion of altimeter orbit,focusing on analysis of T/P altimeter orbit parameters.On the basis of above analysis,this paper presents the scheme of HY-2 satellite altimeter orbit design and the sampling pattern.
