Adaptive estimation of attitude and angular velocity of malfunctioned satellites for on-orbit servicing
2016
Estimating the attitude and angular velocity of a malfunctioned satellite is one of the key technologies to achieve robotic on-orbit servicing, which is a challenging space activity. In this paper, a new method of estimating attitude parameters for target satellite by using stereo-vision system is proposed. First, two sets of vectors are constructed according to the feature point coordinates in target frame and stereo-vision system frame respectively, and then the relative attitude between the target and the servicer is determined through QUEST algorithm. Secondly, a new nonlinear estimator is proposed to estimate the attitude and inertial angular momentum of the target and the angular velocity is computed according to the estimated angular momentum and attitude. The stability of the estimator is proved by using the LaSalle’s invariance principle. Thirdly, a switch rule and an adaptive regulating rule are proposed to improve the estimation performance. The former decides when to switch from the rough esti...
