چکیده

Magnetometers are widely used for LEO small satellites attitude determination and control system. In order to estimate satellite dynamics and control attitude accurately, scale factor and bias of magnetometer must be estimated. In this study a linear Kalman filter (LKF) based algorithm for the estimation of magnetometer biases and scale factors is proposed. Proposed algorithms are simulated through attitude dynamics of a small satellite.

Attitude-Independent Magnetometer Calibration with Time-Varying Bias

We present a method for on-orbit, attitudeindependent magnetometer calibration that includes the effect of time-varying bias due to electronics on-board a spacecraft. The calibration estimates magnetometer scale factors, mis-alignments, and constant as well as time-varying bias. Timevarying effects are mitigated by including spacecraft telemetry in the measurement model and estimating constant ...
