In-orbit magnetometer bias and scale factor calibration
Magnetometers are widely used for LEO small satellites attitude determination and control system. In order to estimate satellite dynamics and control attitude accurately, scale factor and bias of magnetometer must be estimated. In this study a linear Kalman filter (LKF)...

| Summary: | Magnetometers are widely used for LEO small satellites attitude determination and control
system. In order to estimate satellite dynamics and control attitude accurately, scale
factor and bias of magnetometer must be estimated. In this study a linear Kalman filter
(LKF) based algorithm for the estimation of magnetometer biases and scale factors is
proposed. Proposed algorithms are simulated through attitude dynamics of a small
satellite. |
