Abstract

Flight dynamic equations have an effective role in aerospace technologies. It can be as cheap and efficient means for correcting errors in the spatial position and velocity in inertial navigation systems. The Inertial navigation system is an ideal solution for motion detection with high accuracy with fast dynamics, but the precise location and status of the system output can be significantly reduced over time. In this paper, inertial navigation system integrated with a navigation aided system based on online solving of flight dynamic equations. For this purpose, the proposed use of the Lagrangian of Kepler equations and three degrees of freedom of Newton's equations of transfer flights dynamic has been studied. Using this method, online high accuracy to be achieved by flight computer. Kalman filter algorithm is used for integrating inertial navigation and flight dynamic equations . Finally, The simulation results including position and velocity errors with regard to fly a prototype space module, for the proposed two conditions were compared and the advantages and disadvantages of each method are presented
