Aas 15-231 Improved Models for Attitude Estimation of Agile Space Objects
نویسندگان
چکیده
Several innovations are introduced to ameliorate error in space object attitude estimation. A radiometric measurement noise model is developed to define the observation uncertainty in terms of optical, environmental, and sensor parameters. This reduces biases in the space objects’ posterior state distributions. Additionally, a correlated angular rate dynamics model is adopted to decouple the effects of inertia and body torques for agile space objects. This novel dynamics model requires the adoption of marginalized particle filters to preserve computational tractability. The software framework is outlined, and simulated results are presented to demonstrate resultant reductions in agile space object attitude estimation error.

Aas 14-210 Particle Filtering Light Curve Based Attitude Estimation for Non-resolved Space Objects
This paper discusses the development of a particle filter for attitude and angular rate estimation of a space object using light curve observations. The particle filter approach used is based on the generalized Rodrigues parameters (GRPs) local error representation. The global state used is the quaternion to avoid singularity in the attitude states. Uniform quaternions are generated to approxim...
