Abstract
This paper defines an effectiveness index for optical continuous observation of unknown space objects and presents a range of design variables combinations that can satisfy the effectiveness index from a telescope/mount control system perspective using integrated simulation. The overall system-level simulation was implemented and the tracking performance was analyzed by considering design variables such as target position prediction and frame rate, image processing time and measurement error, target trajectory characteristics, and maneuver performance of mount gimbal. As a result of the analysis, it was confirmed that the continuous tracking performance of the optical observation system is dependent on the combination of frame rate and mount maneuver performance. In a situation where an optical observation system is designed or a similar system is implemented using COTS, an appropriate combination of parameters between design variables can be found through effectiveness analysis simulation as in this study.
