Reconstruction of a Spacecraft’s Attitude Motion Using the Data on the Current Collected from Solar Panels

Аннотация

The problem of reconstructing a spacecraft’s (SC’s) attitude motion using measurements of a current from solar panels with the use of the differential evolution algorithm is considered; in this case the model of measurements takes into account the Earth-reflected light flux. The possibility of using the differential evolution algorithm and the model of measurements in the problem of the attitude motion reconstruction is substantiated by the example of the Aist SC. The application of this algorithm considerably simplifies the traditional technique for reconstructing the attitude motion.
