Tests of magnetometer/sun-sensor orbit determination using flight data
2001
AIAA Guidance, Navigation, and Control Conference and Exhibit
unpublished
A magnetometer-based orbit determination batch filter has been improved and tested with real flight data from Dynamics Explorer 2 (DE-2), the Magnetic Field Satellite (MAGSAT), and the Ørsted satellite. These tests have been conducted in order to determine the performance of a low-cost autonomous orbit determination system. The spacecraft's orbit, magnetometer biases, and correction terms to the Earth's magnetic field are estimated by this filter. Synthesized sunsensor data in addition to real
