Abstract:This paper proposes a method of modeling the rotation trajectory of satellite tracking theodolite and puts forward an algorithm which can make automated planning about the rotation trajectory of the theodolite on the basis of the satellite’s trajectory and the theodolite’s historical trajectory. This algorithm plans the rotation trajectory in advance which can keep the hardware safe and at the same time avoid the lost of observation arcs owing to the situations when the rotation is limited and the theodolite has to reverse or motor’s power was shut down and the theodolite has to be pushed back. This algorithm can be applied to the SLR theodolite and others tracking the satellite.
