Abstract

A method for accurately and efficiently calculating a dense ephemeris of a high-eccentricity orbit is provided. With respect to the ephemeris calculation of the high-eccentricity orbit, the method constructs uneven interpolation nodes through time transformation and interpolates by an interpolation polynomial based on uneven interpolation nodes to obtain a dense ephemeris, which significantly improves the calculation efficiency and accuracy. Based on a large-scale numerical experiment, the method derives an optimal universal value (that is, 0.3) of a transformation parameter for all orbital eccentricities and various interpolation polynomials. In the case of using the optimal universal value of the transformation parameter δ, the method further verifies the Hermite interpolation polynomial as the preferable one among various interpolation polynomials.
