The robust estimation of mass properties for spacecraft in low-earth orbit /

The estimation algorithm to determine the mass ty Microfilm Inc. properties of a spacecraft in low-earth orbit using attitude and actuator measurements is investigated. The mass properties include the mass, the moments of inertia, and the center of mass location. A linear regression model, obtained...
