Spacecraft Modeling Attitude Determination and Control Quaternion-Based Approach Second edition

Product Description

This book discusses spacecraft attitude control-related topics: spacecraft modeling spacecraft attitude determination and estimation and spacecraft attitude controls. Unlike other books addressing these topics this book focuses on quaternion-based methods because of their many merits. It provides a brief but necessary background on rotation sequence representations and frequently used reference frames that form the foundation of spacecraft attitude description. It then discusses the fundamentals of attitude determination using vector measurements various efficient (including very recently developed) attitude determination algorithms and the instruments and methods of popular vector measurem…
