Unscented KALMAN Filtering for Spacecraft Attitude and Rate Determination Using Magnetometer

An Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF) for estimation of the attitude and rate of a spacecraft using only magnetometer vector measurement is developed. The attitude dynamics used in the estimation is the nonlinear Euler`s rotational equation which is augmented with the quaternion kinematics to construct a...
