The invention relates to a multi-sensor-based micro-
satellite attitude determination method, which determines the attitude of a micro-
satellite by using a MEMS gyro, a
magnetometer and a
sun sensor asattitude determination sensors based on an improved federated filtering
algorithm. According to the present invention, the application background of the micro-
satellite is fully considered, and the sensors with advantages of low cost, small volume, low
power consumption and the like are selected as the attitude sensors, wherein the MEMS gyro is used as the main attitude sensor, the initial
attitude determination information is obtained through integral, and the
magnetometer and the
sun sensor are used as the auxiliary attitude sensors to timely correct the
attitude determination result of theMEMS gyros; and the improved federated filtering
algorithm is provided, and achieves the attitude calculation and
information fusion based on the sensors, such that the attitude determination precision of the micro-satellite attitude determination
system is effectively improved, and the advantages of excellent good
fault tolerance, good real-time performance and the like are provided.
