Satellite attitude determination utilizing measurement sensor data and kalman filtering

In this paper we present a method for attitude determination using star tracker sensor measurements and Kalman filter. A contingency attitude determination mode is required in the event of a primary sensor failure. Presented here are the sensor modeling and Kalman filtering portions of the Atti...
