Precise Attitude Determination of Ship Based on Star Sensor

Abstract:

This paper analyses the attitude measured model and presents the attitude determination algorithm of space TT&C ship (space tracking, telemetry, and command ship) based on single star sensor. Considering lower precision of rolling angel for single star sensor, we proposed an algorithm by integrating attitude determination and redundancy measure to obtain high precision ship attitude data. Aiming at the circumstance of space TT&C ship, the factors that influence the precision of attitude measured data such as the number of star, atmosphere refraction correct and installation elevation are analyzed, which this can provide valuable references to the engineering design for star sensor used on space TT&C ship.
