Small Satellite Attitude Control Based on a Kalman Filter
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes the development of an Extended Kalman Filter attitude estimator and its implementation in a small satellite control loop. Sensor models have first been added to an existing satellite simulation. The attitude and angular velocities are estimated from the available sensors and methods of tuning the filter based on Genetic Algorithms are discussed. Simulation results are presented for the estimator algorithm used with different control algorithms.

متن کاملRobust Kalman filtering for small satellite attitude estimation in the presence of measurement faults
In normal working conditions it is possible to achieve sufficient attitude estimation accuracy for a satellite using regular Kalman filter algorithm. On the other hand, when there is a fault in the measurements, the Kalman filter fails in providing the required accuracy and may even collapse over time. In this paper, a Robust Kalman filtering method is proposed for the attitude estimation probl...
متن کاملSatellite Attitude Determination with Attitude Sensors and Gyros using Steady-state Kalman Filter
Attitude determination, along with attitude control, is critical to functioning of every space mission. Here, we investigate the application of a steady-state Kalman Filter for attitude determination using attitude sensors (sun sensor and horizon sensors) and rate integrating gyros. The three-axis steady-state Kalman Filter formulation, adopted from literature, offers obvious computational adva...
متن کاملIn-orbit magnetometer bias and scale factor calibration
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 thr...
