CubeSats have became a common platform for education and technology demonstration. To overcome restrictions on CubeSat design, the Attitude Determination and Control System can use the photovoltaic panels to replace sun sensor. This work presents an attitude estimation method based on an unscented Kalman filter, using low cost gyroscope and magnetometer sensors and solar panels as a sun sensor. Data are simulated considering the influence of the Earth albedo on solar panels, and results are compared to those obtained by an extended Kalman filter.

通过无味卡尔曼滤波器和太阳能电池板作为阳光传感器确定姿态

CubeSats已成为教育和技术演示的通用平台。为了克服对CubeSat设计的限制，“姿态确定和控制系统”可以使用光伏面板代替阳光传感器。这项工作提出了一种基于无味卡尔曼滤波器的姿态估计方法，该方法使用低成本的陀螺仪和磁力计传感器以及太阳能电池板作为太阳传感器。考虑到地球反照率对太阳能电池板的影响，对数据进行了模拟，并将结果与​​扩展卡尔曼滤波器获得的结果进行了比较。
