Abstract

In recent years, according to progress of aerospace industries particularly satellites it has been paying much attention to attitude determination of satellite. Attitude determination of satellite in various ways, such as: radio, radar, optical methods and using GPS, q and kalman filter is done, that each of these methods has advantages and disadvantages. Due to disturbance in space, high accuracy in attitude determination, various algorithms to obtain properly accurately attitude, desirable access to position, velocity and time of satellite to achieve desired attitude determination satellite are considered a top priority. However in this Paper, first we review the various methods for attitude determination satellite and then examine of operation and relations of algorithms discussed. This Paper focus on the advantages and disadvantages of qEKF algorithm in compare to other methods are available.
