Abstract

This paper uses light curve measurements to estimate the attitude and angular velocities of space objects with known shape. This paper focuses on rocket bodies in particular. A nonlinear least squares estimator is used to estimate the attitude and angular velocity of the space objects; both real data and simulated data scenarios are shown. A number of representative rocket body models are used for simulated data and real data examples. Good performance was shown for both simulated and real data cases.
