Attitude Determination using Infrared Earth Horizon Sensors
Infrared Earth horizon sensors (EHS) are capable of providing attitude knowledge for satellites in low-Earth orbit, even during periods of eclipse. Attitude information is acquired by detecting Earth’s infrared electromagnetic radiation and, subsequently, determining the region obscured by Earth in the sensors’ fields of view to compute a nadir vector estimation in the satellite’s body frame. D...
متن کاملStar Pattern Recognition for Attitude Determination Using Genetic Algorithms
This paper presents a study using Genetic Algorithms (GA) to solve the star pattern recognition problem associated with star tracker attitude determination systems. Characteristics of the stars that are visible within the Field of View (FOV) of an imager are defined with regard to relative distances and angles. The proposed GA minimizes the discrepancy between the characteristics of the stars i...
متن کاملUnscented Kalman Filtering for Attitude Determination Using MEMS Sensors
This paper presents the results of a quaternion-based unscented Kalman filtering for attitude estimation using low cost MEMS sensors. The unscented Kalman filter uses the pitch and roll angles computed from gravity force decomposition as the measurement for the filter. The immeasurable gravity accelerations are deduced from the outputs of the three axes accelerometers, the relative acceleration...
متن کاملA Predictive Attitude Determination Algorithm
In this paper, a new and efficient algorithm is developed for attitude determination from vector observations. The new algorithm, called the Predictive Attitude Determination (PAD) algorithm, is derived from a general nonlinear predictive filter approach. Traditional deterministic algorithms are shown to be suboptimal for anisotropic measurement errors. The major advantage of the PAD algorithm ...
متن کاملAn Extended Kalman Filter-Based Attitude Tracking Algorithm for Star Sensors
Efficiency and reliability are key issues when a star sensor operates in tracking mode. In the case of high attitude dynamics, the performance of existing attitude tracking algorithms degenerates rapidly. In this paper an extended Kalman filtering-based attitude tracking algorithm is presented. The star sensor is modeled as a nonlinear stochastic system with the state estimate providing the thr...
