Abstract
The GaoFen7 (GF7) optical satellite is the first Chinese civilian sub-meter high-resolution stereo mapping satellite and is equipped with a double linear array camera and laser altimeter to achieve large-scale topographic mapping. To improve the accuracy of attitude determination, an attitude determination system comprised of four star sensors is loaded. According to the measurement accuracy and steady performance, the star sensors 1a and 1b is usually used together for satellite attitude calculation, which is called the conventional mode of attitude determination. Then, the combination of star sensors 2a and 2b is called the unconventional mode of attitude determination. Affected by variations in the incident angle of sunlight and solar radiation, thermal deformation occurs in the body and installation structure of the star sensor, which causes Attitude Low-Frequency Error (ALFE) and seriously influences the consistency of attitude determination results of different combination modes for multiple star sensors system. This study proposes an ALFE analysis and calibration approach for the multiple star sensors system of GF7 satellite to ensure the consistency of attitude determination results of different combination modes. Based on the statistical characteristics of the angles of the three axes, the installation parameters of the four star sensors are first calibrated. After analyzing the characteristics of the optical axis angles within 1420 orbit periods over 135 days, the segmented ALFE compensation model between the unconventional and conventional modes is proposed based on the Fourier series model and input parameter of latitude. Based on the on-orbit installation parameters and the ALFE model, the precise attitude determination results of the unconventional mode are calculated. Experimental results show that the attitude determination consistency after compensation is better than 2”. Moreover, the reliable application time range of the compensation model is 30 days to satisfy the requirements for high-precision attitude determination of GF7 satellite.
