  Attitude Determination using Extended Kalman Filter for Elliptical Orbit Satellites

  By Ilamaran G, Anitha G

  Abstract: This paper investigates the influence of eccentricity on the performance of the attitude determination and control subsystem (ACDS) pointing of passive low earth orbit (LEO) satellites stabilized by a gravity-gradient boom. The contribution of this work is two-fold. First, satellite attitude dynamics and kinematics are modeled by introducing the orbit eccentricity in the equation of motion of an LEO satellite in order to provide the best scenarios in which satellite …
