(Preprint) AAS RELATIVE ATTITUDE DETERMINATION FROM PLANAR VECTOR OBSERVATIONS
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 attitude estimation solution. Covariance analysis is provided to help gain insight on the statistical properties of the attitude errors of the solution.

(Preprint) AAS RELATIVE ATTITUDE DETERMINATION USING MULTIPLE CONSTRAINTS
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....

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...

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 ...
متن کاملConstrained Relative Attitude Determination for Two Vehicle Formations
This paper studies constrained relative attitude determination of a formation of two vehicles. A deterministic solution for the relative attitude between the two vehicles with line-of-sight observations between them and a common object observed by both vehicles is presented. The constraint may be either a planar constraint or a triangle constraint of the observed vectors. The difference between...
متن کاملApplication 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...
