This paper is focused on the development and verification of a heat attitude model (HAM) for
satellite attitude determination. Within this context, the Sun and the Earth are considered as …

Orbit estimation (OE) is a required significant task in almost all space missions. Accordingly,
a wide variety of sensors and estimation algorithms have been developed within the last few …

This paper presents a novel heat based measurement model for attitude determination (AD)
using temperature data via two filtering techniques. Within the space environment, the Sun …

In this paper, the conjugate gradient method, coupled with the adjoint problem, is used to
solve the inverse heat conduction problem and to estimate the time-dependent heat flux …

In any spacecraft mission it is vital to have knowledge about the attitude. In this context,
multiple ways can be employed to estimate the current attitude of the spacecraft. As …

Accurate attitude information of satellites is a prerequisite for many space missions requiring
some pointing capabilities. A radiation-based (RB) thermopile measurement package has …

In this paper, a method is introduced for determination of satellite attitude using heat fluxes
absorbed by the satellite. Heat fluxes are measured using heat-flux measurement sensors …

Attitude Determination (AD) is one of the key requirements of many current and emerging
remote sensing missions. As such AD has been traditionally accomplished through a variety …

All solving methods available in the literature are formulated for direct solution of stagnation
point flow and its heat transfer im**ing on the surfaces with known boundary conditions. In …

In this paper, for the first time, a numerical code based on the Levenberg–Marquardt method
is presented to solve the inverse heat transfer problem of an annular jet on a cylinder with …
