Spacecraft Attitude Rate Estimation From Geomagnetic Field Measurements
This paper develops methods for estimating the rotation rate of a spacecraft using only measured magnetic field data. The goal is to provide rate information for use in applications such as de-tumbling, nutation damping, and momentum management without using gyroscopes. Two algorithms are developed, a deterministic algorithm and an extended Kalman filter. Both algorithms employ the magnetic fie...
متن کاملParticle Filtering for Sequential Spacecraft Attitude Estimation
A new spacecraft attitude estimation approach using particle filtering is derived. Based on sequential Monte Carlo simulation, the particle filter approximately represents the probability distribution of the state vector with random samples. The filter formulation is based on the star camera measurements using a gyro-based or attitude dynamics-based model for attitude propagation. Modified Rodr...
متن کاملUnscented Filtering for Spacecraft Attitude Estimation
A new spacecraft attitude estimation approach based on the Unscented Filter is derived. For nonlinear systems the Unscented Filter uses a carefully selected set of sample points to more accurately map the probability distribution than the linearization of the standard Extended Kalman Filter, leading to faster convergence from inaccurate initial conditions in attitude estimation problems. The fi...
متن کاملMagnetometer-based Attitude and Rate Estimation for a Spacecraft with Wire Booms
A magnetometer-based filter and smoother are presented for estimating attitude, rate, and boom orientations for a spinning spacecraft that has wire booms. These estimates are needed to analyze science data from the subpayloads of a recent sounding rocket mission. The estimator is initialized with the measured angular rate of each subpayload at ejection and thereafter relies solely on three-axis...
متن کاملKalman Filter for Spinning Spacecraft Attitude Estimation
This paper presents a Kalman filter using a seven-component attitude state vector comprising the angular momentum components in a n inertial reference frame, the angular momentum components in the body frame, and a rotation angle. The relatively slow variation of these parameters makes this parameterization advantageous for spinning spacecraft attitude estimation. The filter accounts for the co...
