3 1. Introduction The aim of the project is to track the TERRA satellite and to design a system level concept for a connection time during its first exemplary pass over our ground station which is located at Bengaluru, India. This report consists of a documentation of the above mentioned task along with orbital calculations and link budget calculations that were done in order to successfully complete the project. The assumptions needed to carry out the calculations are as stated below: It is assumed that the date of tracking is taken as 20 th December The Ground Station is assumed to be in Bengaluru (latitude: and longitude: ), India. Python programming is used for orbital calculations which include elevation, inclination and tracking the satellite from the ground station on earth. 1.1 Information on the Satellite: TERRA is a low Earth orbit satellite operated by Earth Sciences Enterprise (NASA). It was launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base on December 18, 1999, aboard an Atlas IIAS vehicle and began collecting data on February 24, The satellite was placed into a near-polar, sun-synchronous orbit at an altitude of 705km, with a 10:30am descending node. It has an expected lifetime of 6 years. The purpose of this satellite is Earth science. It collects the data about the Earth s bio-geochemical and energy systems using five sensors that observe the atmosphere, land surface, oceans, snow and ice, and energy budget. The orbital element parameters of this satellite are tabulated below: Perigee Apogee km km Inclination 98.2 Semi-major axis Orbit period 7080 km 98.8 minutes Eccentricity P a g e

4 2. Orbital Calculations To locate a satellite in space we need to compute some orbital elements for the satellite. A Two-Line Element set (TLE) is a format for distributing orbital elements data, that describe the orbit of an earth satellite. The TLE set can be used to determine the position and velocity of the satellite at a specific time. 1. The TLE elements of the satellite on 24/12/2016 is: TERRA U 99068A Using the TLE elements of the satellite we compute the sub-satellite point to locate the satellite. 2. The latitude Ø and longitude of sub-satellite point are: Sublat= 59:22:59.5 Sublong=171:41:29.6 The point where a straight line drawn from a satellite to the center of the Earth intersects the Earth's surface is called the sub-satellite point. It is defined by Latitude & Longitude. The path traced by the satellite is obtained by computing latitudes and longitudes for each minute and plotting on map which roughly covers the entire phase of Earth. The satellite tract is geographically widespread. The ground station and trace of the satellite path is marked on the world map below. Figure 1: Trace of Satellite on world map 4 P a g e

5 The blue star in the above map shows the location of the ground station and the red dots show the time slots trace of the visibility of the satellite from the ground station in one day. Figure 2: First exemplary overpass of the satellite over the observer location. 3. The elevation and azimuth angle of satellite is: Elevation = -36:56:48.4 Azimuth = 30:55:12.3 The elevation, distance and azimuth angles of the satellite with respect to the ground station as a function of time are plotted and shown below. Figure 3: Plot of Elevation (blue) and Azimuth (Red) as a function of time 5 P a g e

6 Elevation is the angle above the horizon; azimuth is the angle from a reference in North direction to the right or to the left. Figure 4: Distance of satellite from ground station (Bengaluru) as a function of time The distance of satellite with respect to the ground station (Bengaluru) is found to be km. The connection time T con can be found when the satellite is visible to the ground station as shown in the below map. The connection time is T con =11 minutes. Figure 5: Plot of time slots (Yellow Dots) when the satellite is visible for one exemplary overpass over ground station (Blue star) The plot of the distance, elevation, azimuth and Doppler shift for one exemplary overpass of the satellite as a function of time with minimal elevation angle of 5 is shown below. To get the first exemplary pass of Terra satellite over Bengaluru we have considered the 4 th orbital period. 6 P a g e

7 Figure 6: Elevation (in Blue) and Azimuth (in red) for one exemplary pass with the respect to ground station (Bengaluru). Figure 7: Distance of satellite as a function of time for one exemplary pass. It can be observed from the above two graphs that, as the elevation angle increases, the distance from the satellite to ground station decreases. Thus, at the largest elevation of approximately 55, the satellite is very close to the ground station and maximum data reception is possible at this point. Doppler frequency shift (or the Doppler shift) is a shift of frequency in an electromagnetic wave due to the movement of the transmitter or receiver. It can be calculated using the formula: 7 P a g e

9 3. Link Budget Figure 9: Satellite link In this section we calculate the required data bit rate R c and symbol rate R s for 1000Mbytes of data using connection time T con.the Bandwidth is calculated for the QPSK, raised cosine modulation scheme with roll of factor( of 0.1 and symbol period T s. The calculations are shown below: To calculate R c and R s for 1000Mbytes of data: To calculate Bandwidth for the given modulation scheme and filtering : To calculate required energy per bit per noise E b /N o for a BER of 10 6 and the corresponding SNR. 9 P a g e

10 13.1dB Calculations on analog wireless link: To calculate N o at the receiver output and N i at the antenna of the ground station:, Where, To calculate S o at the receiver output and S i at the antenna of the ground station W To calculate EIRP of satellite at worst case scenario with elevation as : For the worst case scenario of elevation of 5, the distance of satellite from ground station is km. We can calculate the EIRP value by taking antenna noise temperature from the graph of antenna noise temperature versus frequency for a given frequency of 8345MHz and is found to be about 30K. Where the If we consider the antenna efficiency of 30% then, x = m 2 x = db Thus, the power of the transmitter is 0.32 W. 10 P a g e

11 4. Conclusion In this project the satellite Terra was located by computing the sub-satellite points with respect to ground station as Bengaluru and found the visible time of the satellite for one exemplary overpass by tracing the path for 20 th December, The connection time T con from the observer s location was found to be 11 minutes. This is an essential parameter required for the calculations of bit and symbol rate following which the other parameters such as SNR, bandwidth, EIRP etc of the link budget are estimated. The maximum data transfer between the satellite and the ground station occurs when the elevation angle increases and hence the distance decreases. This elevation angle at which maximum data transfer occurs is found to be approximately 55 The satellite communication link is designed by computing the below mentioned parameters: Bit Rate R b Symbol Rate Rs SNR Bandwidth Received Power P r Effective Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP) Transmitted Power P t 13.1 db W 11 P a g e
