Abstract
En 中文
This study introduces and verifies a relative navigation technique for two CubeSats in formation flying as part of the CANYVAL-C mission. Because the mission requires precision and robustness subject to restricted computational complexity, the technique employs an Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) and raw GNSS data to achieve relative navigation. The relative navigation technique is composed of two parts: parameter-tuning using an Adaptive Kalman Filter (AKF) in a ground station, and the application of the adaptively determined parameters to allow onboard EKF. Based on Hardware-in-the-Loop Simulations (HILS), the relative positioning error of the EKF with adaptively determined parameters ranged from 10 to 20 cm on each axis (3 sigma) and satisfied the mission requirement of 1 m. The simulations confirm that the technique yields reliable relative navigation and a realistic error covariance without imposing a computational burden on the CubeSat, as well as reduces the time required for parameter tuning.
