In-orbit Calibration of Attitude Determination Systems for Land-survey Micro-satellites?
نویسنده
چکیده
Contemporary land-survey micro-satellites have general mass up to 100 kg and are placed on the orbit altitudes from 600 up to 800 km. For such spacecraft some principle problems on attitude determination, in-flight calibration and alignment are considered and elaborated methods are presented for their solving. We present discrete algorithms for calibration and alignment of the low cost strap-down inertial navigation systems with correction by signals from multi-head Sun sensor, magnetic sensor and the GPS/GLONASS satellites.

Designing a robust tracking control for a non-linear MIMO system with uncertainty is one of the most complicated control problems. In this paper, sliding mode changed to non-linear controllable canonical form by input-output linearization. This, sliding surfaces can be defined in a way that we can de-couple equations and indicate the sliding conditions of multi-variable controller system. The u...

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...
متن کاملStudy of Low-cost Orbit Determination System for Tethered Satellites
The statistics of estimated errors when conducting the orbit determination of a tethered satellite system (TSS) by only using Doppler frequencies is shown. TSS consists of two satellites connected each other by a tether. The center of mass (CM) moves like a single satellite, so this system can be utilized in case of a single satellite as well as TSS. This is considered as a low-cost orbit deter...
