Government Purpose Rights ABSTRACTDetermining the trajectory of a body orbiting the Earth is a fundamental task in astrodynamics. In this paper we use a sampled-data extended Kalman Filter to estimate the trajectory of a target satellite when only range measurements are available from a constellation of orbiting spacecraft. We consider the ability of the filter to acquire the target satellite under time-sparse measurements, and to estimate the eccentricity and inclination of the target satellite's orbit. Our goal is to quantify tradeoffs among acquisition time, tracking accuracy, and measurement sample rate. In addition, when the orbits of the observing spacecraft are all equatorial, it is found that inclination maneuvers of the target satellite are unobservable.

Maneuvering Spacecraft Tracking via State-Dependent Adaptive Estimation

“…One of the simplest approaches is to use a single Kalman filter based on a single dynamical model [10,11]. However, these approaches may suffer from significant errors as a priori unknown maneuvers can cause filter divergence.…”

Relative Navigation with Maneuvers Using a Suboptimal Fading Extended Kalman Filtera

“…The problem of estimating the full state of a dynamical system based on limited measurements is of extreme importance in many applications [3]. When considering the nonlinear filtering problems, the common way is to use the extended Kalman filter (EKF) to substitute the standard Kalman filter (KF) which can provide an optimal solution in linear system.…”
