Abstract

A spacecraft attitude fixing method of DD2 (Divided Difierence 2) filter and a counting method based on Euler-q (Euler-quaternion) are provided, which relates to a state estimation and attitude determination method based on vector observation. The invention is characterized in that: according to the reference ephemeris and the reference vector and the observation vector observed by a star sensor, the spacecraft attitude quaternion can be gotten through Euler-q counting method; through DD2 filter, on one hand, feedback compensation the attitude matrix obtained through resolving by gyro; on the other hand, revise the palstance output of three-axle gyro and conduct compensation to the constant drift of gyroscope. As for that, the current spacecraft attitude information when getting high precision can be achieved, the constant drift of gyroscope can be scaled on line. The invention is an unattended attitude determining method, which is characterized in high precision and good timeliness, being convenient and feasible, and can be used in the attitude fixing system of various spacecrafts.

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

At present, most spacecraft attitude determination models use the attitude quaternion as the state. Since the degree of freedom of the three-axis attitude is 3, there is redundancy in the attitude quaternion. If the vector of the attitude quaternion is simply taken as the estimated state, the estimation model must be linearized and simplified, resulting in a reduction in the accuracy of the model

Applied to spacecraft attitude determination methods, purely using deterministic vector observations, for example, the Davenport q method needs to calculate eigenvalues ​​and eigenmatrices, and online calculation is difficult, so it is difficult to be applied

The improved QuEsT (Quaternion Estimator) method based on the Davenport q method has been greatly improved in the algorithm, but it still has the disadvantages of relying too much on the accuracy of the star sensor and cannot correct the gyro drift and output the real-time attitude.

SVD (the Singular ValueDecomposition) is very robust
