Fault Tolerant Attitude Estimation for Small Satellites

Fault Tolerant Attitude Estimation for Small Satellites aims to present useful solutions for fault tolerance in ADC systems of small satellites. The contents of the book can be divided into two categories: fault tolerant attitude filtering algorithms for small satellites and sensor calibration methods to compensate the sensor errors. MATLAB is used to demonstrate simulations.

Features

• Presents fault tolerant attitude estimation algorithms for small satellites with an emphasis on algorithms’ practicability and applicability
