Autonomous Orbit Determination for a CubeSat Cruising in Deep Space

Abstract: CubeSats have become a meaningful option for deep-space exploration, but their autonomy must be increased to maximize the science return while limiting the complexity in operations. We present here a solution for an autonomous orbit determination in the context of a CubeSat cruising in deep space. The study case is a journey from Earth to Mars. An optical sensor at CubeSat standard is considered. The image processing is added to extract the direction of distant celestial bodies with 0.2 " accuracy: it consists… Show more

“…On-board orbit determination -We have developed a solution for autonomous orbit determination for CubeSat in deep space cruise (Segret 2019 [13], [14], 2021 [15]). Several teams also work on the development of autonomous navigation solutions, especially because of the likely rise of deep space CubeSats, as stand alone or accompanying probes.…”

“…In collaboration with the Australian Centre for Field Robotics at the University of Sydney, and the SmartSat CRC, whose activities are funded by the Australian government's Cooperative Research Centres (CRC) program, a planned secondary objective using MANTIS is to demonstrate goal-oriented algorithms and software on orbit that will grant a spacecraft mission-autonomy capability to undertake self-inspection autonomously and adaptively in real-time. These goal-driven on-board autonomy activities intend to demonstrate novel scientific innovation in accordance with the latest CubeSat trends for future applications [17]. This could serve applications including fault detection isolation and recovery (FDIR) and guidance navigation and control (GNC).…”
