Abstract

The paper describes a method for obtaining optimal attitude estimation algorithms for spacecraft lacking attitude rate measurement devices, and then demonstrated using actual flight data from the Solar, Anomalous, and Magnetospheric Particle Explorer (SAMPEX) spacecraft. The proposed approach is based on the Minimum Model Error (MME) optimal estimation strategy, which has been successfully applied to estimation of poorly modeled dynamic systems which are relatively sparsely and/or noisily measured. Thus, an MME-based approach directly addresses the problems created by the absence of attitude rate measurements.
