Relative navigation of multiple spacecraft based on the processing of Global Navigation
Satellite System (GNSS) signals has been successfully performed in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) …

In this paper a novel approach is developed for relative state estimation of spacecraft flying
in formation. The approach uses information from an optical sensor to provide multiple line …

Motivated by the challenging formation stabilization problem for mobile robotic teams
wherein no distance or relative position measurements are available but each robot can …

Autonomous in-flight aerial refueling is an important capability for the future deployment of
unmanned aerial vehicles, because they will likely be ferried in flight to overseas theaters of …

This paper develops a relative position and attitude estimation approach for satellite
formation. A coupled relative translational dynamics is derived to represent orbital motion of …

A critical limitation for the current use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) is represented by
the lack of aerial refueling capabilities. This paper describes the results of an effort on the …

A novel relative spacecraft attitude and position estimation approach based on cubature
Kalman filter is derived. The integrated sensor suit comprises the gyro sensors on each …

This paper derives the full equations of motion for relative navigation of air vehicles. An
extended Kalman filter is used for estimating the relative position and attitude of two air …
