Abstract

Relative navigation is a key enabling technology for space missions such as on-orbit servicing and space situational awareness. Given that there are several special advantages of space relative navigation using angles-only measurements from passive optical sensors, angles-only relative navigation is considered as one of the best potential approaches in the field of space relative navigation. However, angles-only relative navigation is well-known for its range observability problem. To overcome this observability problem, many studies have been conducted over the past decades. In this study, we present a comprehensive review of state-of-the-art space relative navigation based on angles-only measurements. The emphasis is on the observability problem and solutions to angles-only relative navigation, where the review of the solutions is categorized into four classes based on the intrinsic principle: complicated dynamics approach, multi-line of sight (multi-LOS) approach, sensor offset center-of-mass approach, and orbit maneuver approach. Then, the flight demonstration results of angles-only relative navigation in the two projects are briefly reviewed. Finally, conclusions of this study and recommendations for further research are presented.

基于角度测量的空间相对导航综述

相对导航是实现在轨服务和空间态势感知等空间任务的关键技术。鉴于使用无源光学传感器的纯角度测量进行空间相对导航有几个特殊优势，纯角度相对导航被认为是空间相对导航领域中最有潜力的方法之一。然而，只有角度的相对导航以其距离可观测性问题而闻名。为了克服这个可观察性问题，在过去的几十年里进行了许多研究。在这项研究中，我们对基于纯角度测量的最先进的空间相对导航进行了全面回顾。重点是可观测性问题和仅角度相对导航的解决方案，其中根据内在原理将解决方案分为四类：复杂动力学方法、多视线方法、传感器偏移质心方法和轨道机动方法。然后，简要回顾了两个项目中纯角度相对导航的飞行演示结果。最后，提出了本研究的结论和进一步研究的建议。
