Improved Satellite Launcher Navigation Performance by Using the Reference Trajectory Data
نویسندگان
چکیده
The navigation is a critical element of a satellite launcher. The objective of this research is to evaluate the additional precision and robustness provided to the navigation solution by using the reference trajectory data. To include this information, the error state model of a GPS/INS configuration is augmented to estimate the difference between the launcher and the reference trajectory attitude data. The assessment of the precision gain is made using the standard deviation of the attitude, velocity and position estimation errors. The robustness is evaluated considering the loss of precision caused by a GPS outage. The velocity estimation is slightly improved, but the attitude estimation greatly benefits from the additional information. Also, the robustness to a GPS outage is greatly improved for all estimated values. The augmented model can withstand errors in the variances of the external perturbations. However, this one could be sensitive to modelling errors.

GPS Jamming Detection in UAV Navigation Using Visual Odometry and HOD Trajectory Descriptor
Auto-navigating of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) in the outdoor environment is performed by using the Global positioning system (GPS) receiver. The power of the GPS signal on the earth surface is very low. This can affect the performance of GPS receivers in the environments contaminated with the other source of radio frequency interference (RFI). GPS jamming and spoofing are the most serious a...
