How to Get the Solar Direction from Skylight Polarization for Satellite Autonomous Navigation

Abstract:

The solar direction is an important clue for satellite autonomous navigation. A new method for obtaining the solar direction from skylight polarization for satellite navigation is discussed. The new method is using two E-vector polarization sensors to get solar direction, and the view field of the polarization sensor is discussed.
