Abstract

The objective of this paper is to design a Kalman Filtering algorithm for relative position estimation for elliptical orbits based on the background of a lunar-orbiting dual-satellite system project. Relative navigation is done with the measurements of onboard instruments and ground tracking. Hardware design of the onboard instrument used for relative measuring is introduced in this paper. This design is practical and applicable in engineering. The algorithm is tested via numerical simulation. Simulation analysis shows that error of estimation is acceptable and does not accumulate over time.
