Time and Covariance Threshold Triggered Optimal Uncooperative Rendezvous Using Angles-Only Navigation

A time and covariance threshold triggered optimal maneuver planning method is proposed for orbital rendezvous using angles-only navigation (AON). In the context of Yamanaka-Ankersen orbital relative motion equations, the square root unscented Kalman filter (SRUKF) AON algorithm is developed to compu...
