摘要: 为提升TLE(两行根数)在轨道预报中的精度, 解决传统多项式拟合和物理建模方法在难以处理轨道非线性演化趋势时的问题, 提出一种基于长短期记忆网络(LSTM)的高精度TLE轨道参数拟合方法, 利用历史TLE数据对轨道要素进行高精度时间序列拟合与轨道合成. 采用LSTM神经网络对TLE轨道参数进行时间序列建模, 并结合多项式拟合形成混合建模策略. 实验以87个铱星33碎片的TLE数据为基础, 构建拟合模型并生成合成TLE利用SGP4传播器正向传播位置误差. 实验结果表明, 常规时段81个碎片合成TLE传播7天位置误差改善目标占比达65.43%~88.89%, 误差分布更集中稳定; 磁暴期间65个碎片的合成TLE传播3天位置误差改善目标占比为70.77%~80.00%, 误差波动范围低于原始TLE. 基于LSTM的TLE轨道合成方法在捕捉轨道参数非线性演化方面表现优越, 结合角度线性化和平滑滤波策略, 提高了轨道参数拟合的精度与稳定性.Abstract: To improve the accuracy of TLE (Two Line Elements) in orbit prediction and solve the problem of traditional polynomial fitting and physical modeling methods being difficult to handle the nonlinear evolution trend of orbits, a high-precision TLE orbit parameter fitting method based on Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) network is proposed. TLEs are widely applied in orbit prediction and space situational awareness because of their simplicity and accessibility, yet their accuracy deteriorates quickly when propagated forward due to perturbations such as atmospheric drag, solar activity, and Earth’s nonspherical gravity field. Therefore, developing a data-driven strategy that can capture the hidden dynamics and extend the validity of TLE prediction has significant practical value. Historical TLE data is used for high-precision time series fitting and orbit synthesis of orbit elements. LSTM neural network is used to model the time series of TLE orbit parameters, and a mixed modeling strategy is formed by combining polynomial fitting. Based on the TLE data of 87 Iridium 33 fragments, a fitting model was constructed and a synthetic TLE was generated using SGP4 (Simplified General Perturbations 4) propagator to propagate position error in the forward direction. The experimental results show that the proportion of the target for improving the position error of 81 fragments in the synthesized TLE propagation for 7 days during the conventional period is 65.43%~88.89%, and the error distribution is more concentrated and stable. The proportion of the target for improving the position error of the synthesized TLE propagation of 65 fragments during a geomagnetic storm for 3 days is 70.77%~80.00%, and the error fluctuation range is lower than that of the original TLE. The TLE orbital synthesis method based on LSTM performs excellently in capturing the nonlinear evolution of orbital parameters. By combining angle linearization and smooth filtering strategies, the accuracy and stability of orbital parameter fitting are improved.
