Abstract

Abstract:

X-ray pulsar navigation is one of the effective means to realize the spacecraft relative navigation. Based on the Kalman filtering measurement model of X-ray pulsar based relative navigation, the effect of pulsar direction error and geometry distribution on navigation accuracy is researched. To model the pulsar direction error, a method of translating the model error into the measurement error is proposed. Simulation results indicate that the relative distance deviation caused by pulsars direction errors of 1arcsec is up to 0.34％ and that it increases linearly with the actuating direction error when the direction error is within 1000arcsec. The effect of the pulsar geometry distribution on navigation precision is remarkable. Selecting 4 pulsars from 8 for navigation, the discrepancy of navigation precision reaches 10.74％.
