Stereo vision-based relative navigation algorithm for satellites formation flying
Space mission with multiple spacecraft formation is an important means to space operation. A new relative navigation algorithm based on stereo vision is developed aiming at high navigation precision requirement of spacecraft formation flying. It uses stereo vision camera attached on the tracking craft as measurement sensor, gets the relative location of target craft in the tracking craft body r...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Spaceborne GPS Receiver for Precise Relative Navigation of Formation Flying Small Satellites
Use of the differential carrier phase measurements of the Global Positioning System (GPS) can achieve centimetre-level accuracy thus it can be applied to the relative positioning in formation flying missions. This paper describes the development of a spaceborne GPS receiver upon the UNSW’s Namuru GPS receiver, which is built on the field of field programmable gate array (FGPA). Operating a GPS ...
متن کاملRadio-frequency sensor fusion for relative navigation of formation flying satellites
The increasing need for robustness, reliability and flexibility of relative navigation systems imposed by the current and future autonomous formation flying missions, calls for the implementation of solutions using an alternative approach to single-sensor systems. These schemes possess different levels of availability, mainly driven by sensor failure and mission orbit profiles. The data obtaine...
متن کاملVision-based Relative Navigation for Formation Flying of Spacecraft
The objective of this paper is to develop a robust and efficient approach for relative navigation and attitude estimation of spacecraft flying in formation. The approach developed here uses information from a new optical sensor that provides a line of sight vector from the master spacecraft to the secondary satellite. The overall system provides a novel, reliable, and autonomous relative naviga...
متن کاملAnalysis of Relative Navigation Architectures for Formation Flying
Many future space missions will involve fleets with a large number of satellites flying in formation. Indeed, such fleets provably offer more reliability, redundancy, scalability and repeatability. However, large fleets also represent a challenge, especially for the navigation algorithms, which must provide an accurate estimate of the state of the fleet, with minimum requirements. Furthermore, ...
