Abstract

In the field of deep space exploration, to optimize the layout of TT&C antennas on space capsule, based on heat flux identification and TT&C condition analysis, we place the TT&C antennas shifted from the traditional position on vertical surface. So the TT&C antennas can avoid the high heat flux identification area due to the second cosmic velocity return of the space capsule. At the same time, known the orbit and the position of the ground station, we use STK to simulate the return phase to promise the TT&C antennas are used within their main lobe. The design method of TT&C antennas layout on deep space capsule is optimized, and is proved by the CE-5T project.
