Temporal satellite networks can accurately describe the dynamic process of satellite networks by considering the interaction relationship and interaction sequence between satellite nodes. In addition, the measurement of node importance in satellite networks plays a crucial role in understanding the structure and function of the network. The classical supra-adjacency matrix (SAM) temporal model identifies the key nodes in the temporal network to some extent, which ignores the differences of inter-layer connectivity relationships leading to the inability to reflect the dynamic variations of satellite nodes. Therefore, the evaluation method based on time slot correlation is proposed to measure the importance of satellite nodes in this paper. Firstly, the correlation coefficient of time slot nodes is defined to measure the coupling relationship of adjacent time slots. Secondly, the dynamic supra-adjacency matrix (DSAM) temporal network model is proposed considering the correlation between adjacent time slots and the characteristics of link time. Finally, the node importance ranking results in each time slot and a global perspective are obtained by utilizing the eigenvector centrality. Through experimental simulations of the Iridium and Orbcomm constellations, it is demonstrated that the DSAM method has a more accurate recognition rate and is more stable than the SAM method.
