Abstract: | The Monitor-E spacecraft executed uncontrolled flight due to emergency situation, no telemetry information on parameters of the spacecraft’s
attitude motion being available. So, the problem arose to determine the spacecraft’s rotational motion from the accessible
indirect information—the electric current provided by solar batteries. In this paper the integrated statistical technique
is described, that allows one to solve this problem. The values of current, obtained over the time interval some tens of minutes
long, have been processed simultaneously by the least squares method using the integration of the equations of spacecraft’s
rotational motion. As a result of processing, the initial conditions of motion were estimated, and the spacecraft’s moments
of inertia were updated, as well as the angles, specifying solar batteries position in the spacecraft-fixed coordinate system.
The results of processing of 12 data sets are presented, which allowed us to reconstruct the actual rotational motion of the
spacecraft. |
