Abstract

The problem ofa-priory estimation of a perspective Earth observation system functioning is considered at the article. The orbital segment of the system is based in 5 micro-satellites. Five variants of orbital segment are researched and adapted scenarios of target functioning are offered also. These scenarios allow to apply a method of imitative modeling for system efficiency estimation. The results of modeling are presented and analyzed.
