Application of artificial intelligence technology in the nanosatellite attitude determination problem

Abstract

The paper proposes an approach of the nanosatellite attitude determination problem solution using elements of artificial intelligence technology. This approach consists in the reconfiguration of the algorithms of the nanosatellite attitude determination problem solution based on the knowledge database that can be enriched to ensure the robustness of the feedback loop (the nanosatellite attitude determination using different combinations of different types of measurement information by various algorithms). This research results are presented in relation to the nanosatellite of the SamSat family: values of measurement significance coefficients are chosen; then generalized algorithm significance coefficients are calculated for various combinations of operable measuring means using chosen coefficients.
