Attitude determination for small satellites with Infrared Earth horizon sensors

Infrared Earth horizon sensors are capable of providing attitude knowledge for satellites in low Earth orbit by using thermopile measurements of the Earth's infrared emission to locate the Earth's horizon. Because some small satellites, such as CubeSats, have limited resources, a framework...
