  • More about Fault Tolerant Attitude Estimation for Small Satellites

This book discusses fault-tolerant attitude determination and control systems for small satellites, using commercial off-the-shelf sensors and actuators. It aims to present useful solutions for reducing the vulnerability of ADC systems to faults, with a focus on algorithms practicability and applicability. MATLAB® is used to demonstrate simulations.

Small satellites employ commercial off-the-shelf sensors and actuators for attitude determination and control (ADC) to minimize costs. However, these sensors and actuators are generally less robust than the more expensive, space-proven equipment available. Consequently, the ADC system of small satellites is more susceptible to faults compared to a system for larger competitors. This book seeks to provide valuable solutions for fault tolerance in ADC systems of small satellites. The book's contents can be categorized into two sections: fault-tolerant attitude filtering algorithms for small satellites and sensor calibration methods to compensate for sensor errors. MATLAB® will be utilized to demonstrate simulations.

Presents fault-tolerant attitude estimation algorithms for small satellites, emphasizing their practicality and applicability.

Incorporates fundamental knowledge about attitude determination methods used in larger satellites.

Discusses comprehensive information about attitude sensors used in small satellites.

Reviews calibration algorithms for small satellite magnetometers with simulated examples.

Supports theory with MATLAB simulation results that are easily understandable by individuals without a comprehensive background in this field.

Covers up-to-date discussions on small satellite attitude systems design.
