Improved Simulated Annealing Algorithm on the Design of Satellite Orbits for Common-View Laser Time Transfer

Remote Sensing
Laser Time Transfer (LTT) has proven to be able to improve remote time transfer accuracy compared to microwave technology. The impact of satellite clock errors and atmospheric delays during LTT will be further reduced in the common-view mode.
