Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立成功大學 === 電機工程研究所 === 83 === The purpose of this research is to develop a navigation simulation system for low Earth-orbiting satellites which are the main point of indigenous satellite development. Such a system provides a tool for the attitude determination and navigation sensors analysis in the computer simulation environment. This satellite navigation system is established by the following steps: (1) A simulation of the dynamics of the low Earth-orbiting satellite, including the satellite orbital motion and attitude dynamics subject to the environmental perturbations, is build. (2) Mathematical models of the navigation sensors that provides performance and cost tradeoffs are selected and setup. (3) A state estimator for attitude determination is designed. (4) Attitude determination algorithms based upon the navigation sensors outputs and the estimator are realized. Finally, an analysis for the attitude estimation of a spin-stabilized low Earth-orbiting satellite using the GPS observables is conducted.
