چکیده

In this paper a relative attitude determination solution of a formation of two vehicles with multiple constraints is shown. The solution for the relative attitude between the two vehicles is obtained only using line-of-sight measurements between them and common (unknown) objects observed by both vehicles. The constraints used in the solution are formed from triangles on the vector observations. Multiple constraints are used for each object and the solution is cast into a Wahba problem formulation. Simulation runs are shown that study the performance of the new approach.

(Preprint) AAS FILTERING SOLUTION TO RELATIVE ATTITUDE DETERMINATION PROBLEM USING MULTIPLE CONSTRAINTS

In this paper a filtering solution for the relative attitude and relative position of a formation of two spacecraft with multiple constraints is shown. The solution for the relative attitude and position between the two spacecraft is obtained only using line-of-sight measurements between them and a common (unknown) object observed by both spacecraft. The constraint used in the solution is a tri...

(Preprint) AAS RELATIVE ATTITUDE DETERMINATION FROM PLANAR VECTOR OBSERVATIONS

A method for relative attitude determination from planar line-of-sight observations is presented. Three vehicles are assumed to be equipped with sensors to provide measurements of the three inter-vehicle line-of-sight vectors. The line-of-sight vectors are further assumed to be always in the same plane. This information is combined with all the available measurements to find an optimal relative...

Application of Network RTK Positions and Geometric Constraints to the Problem of Attitude Determination Using the GPS Carrier Phase Measurements

Nowadays, navigation is an unavoidable fact in military and civil aerial transportations. The Global Positioning System (GPS) is commonly used for computing the orientation or attitude of a moving platform. The relative positions of the GPS antennas are computed using the GPS code and/or phase measurements. To achieve a precise attitude determination, Carrier phase observations of GPS requiring...

(Preprint) AAS ATTITUDE DETERMINATION FOR A SMALL SATELLITE MISSION

This paper describes a path toward the development of theory for using a low noise high frame rate camera as a star tracker for spacecraft attitude estimation. The benefit of using a low noise high frame rate camera is that star data can be sampled at a faster rate while allowing one to measure very dim stars, increasing the number of stars available for attitude estimation. The development of ...

(Preprint) AAS 14-204 INITIAL ORBIT DETERMINATION, DATA ASSOCIATION, AND ADMISSIBLE REGIONS OF SPACE OBJECTS USING MAGNETOMETERS

Magnetometer-based detection and characterization of space objects is motivated and challenges are discussed. Observable constants of motion with and without charge screening are derived in detail. Batch filtering methods are proposed to estimate the observable space object states. A novel application of orbit and detection constraints is used to generate admissible region boundaries for unobse...
