SSC13-VIII-1 On-Orbit Calibration of Photodiodes for Attitude Determination
This paper presents a method for on-orbit calibration of photodiodes for sun sensing in an attitude determination system. The calibration estimates the scale factors and alignment angles of the photodiodes, resulting in higher attitude determination accuracy than achieved with the pre-flight calibration parameters. The calibration is implemented with an extended Kalman filter to simultaneously ...
متن کاملAttitude Determination and Autonomous On-Orbit Calibration of Star Tracker For GIFTS Mission
A novel split field of view star tracker is being developed for the EO-3 GIFTS mission (2004). The camera is designed to be autonomously self-calibrating, and capable of a rapid/reliable solution of the lost-in-space problem as well as recursive attitude estimation. Two efficient Kalman filter algorithms for attitude, camera principal point offset, and focal length estimation are developed. The...
متن کاملIn-orbit Calibration of Attitude Determination Systems for Land-survey Micro-satellites?
Contemporary land-survey micro-satellites have general mass up to 100 kg and are placed on the orbit altitudes from 600 up to 800 km. For such spacecraft some principle problems on attitude determination, in-flight calibration and alignment are considered and elaborated methods are presented for their solving. We present discrete algorithms for calibration and alignment of the low cost strap-do...
متن کاملAas 13-479 Optimization of Directional Sensor Orientation with Application to Photodiodes for Spacecraft Attitude Determination
We present a method to optimize the orientation of directional sensors and instruments in a vehicle body-fixed frame. This technique can be used in spacecraft design to maximize the performance of directional sensors and instruments. The optimization formulation consists of using the attitude sphere to create directions over which to optimize and deriving an objective function that uses these d...
متن کاملDetermination of an Amazon Hot Reference Target for the On-Orbit Calibration of Microwave Radiometers
A physically based model is developed to determine hot calibration reference brightness temperatures (TBs) over depolarized regions in the Amazon rain forest. The model can be used to evaluate the end-to-end calibration of any satellite microwave radiometer operating at a frequency between 18 and 40 GHz and angle of incidence between nadir and 55°. The model is constrained by Special Sensor Mic...
