“…Comparing this result to the normalized local position vector, l, using Dy ¼ cos 21 (ĝ Á l, maximum angular error between the two vectors, Dy, is 1.3 arcsec. When multiplied by the equatorial radius, this error translates to approximately 40.40 m. Given this order of error, it seems reasonable to conclude that the assumption of l ¼ 2g/kgk is valid with respect to the current level of accuracy achieved in implementation [13]. This approximation may be sufficient for SPS validation on Earth, but a full investigation and development of a gravity model will be necessary for extraterrestrial deployment.…”

“…Estimation of the relative positions of these hardware components must be performed a priori and relies on the accuracy of calibration instrumentation, such as GPS. Accuracy of the time system clock and inclinometer readings, as well as the quality of the images also contribute to error uncertainty, as discussed in the companion paper [13].…”

“…His key to reducing the recursive mode time was to speed the selection of stars that ought to be visible given some other visible stars. He presented two methods, one which used the Mortari's Spherical Polygon-Search (SP-Search) [30,31], which in turn used his k-vector, and the second which used a pre-built catalog of stars that should be visible if another star is visible, the Star Neighborhood Approach (SNA). The SP-Search uses a k-vectorattitude estimate to search for the presence of these predicted stars in the set of the camera's observed stars.…”
