This paper is focused on the development and verification of a heat attitude model (HAM) for
satellite attitude determination. Within this context, the Sun and the Earth are considered as …

Orbit estimation (OE) is a required significant task in almost all space missions. Accordingly,
a wide variety of sensors and estimation algorithms have been developed within the last few …

This article proposes a method that uses only a single temperature measurement and
angular velocity measurements to estimate the attitude of a spacecraft under the influence of …

This paper presents a novel heat based measurement model for attitude determination (AD)
using temperature data via two filtering techniques. Within the space environment, the Sun …

In any spacecraft mission it is vital to have knowledge about the attitude. In this context,
multiple ways can be employed to estimate the current attitude of the spacecraft. As …

The thermal energy received by each surface of an Earth-orbiting satellite strongly depends
on its position and orientation. In this sense, simultaneous orbit and attitude estimation …

Accurate attitude information of satellites is a prerequisite for many space missions requiring
some pointing capabilities. A radiation-based (RB) thermopile measurement package has …

Die Schätzung und Steuerung der Fluglage ist elementar für jede Raumfahrzeugmission.
Die erforderliche Genauigkeit hängt von der jeweiligen Mission und ihren Nutzlasten ab. Ein …

We consider the problem of spacecraft attitude determination using temperature data.
Common algorithms fuse multiple temperature measurements to reconstruct the attitude …

Temperature sensors have recently been proposed for attitude estimation (AE) of Low-Earth
satellites. However, since half of the satellite surfaces do not receive any heat flux from the …
