This chapter presents a comprehensive overview on the typical algorithms, trade-off, and lessons learnt in the navigation design. This chapter introduces the concepts of sequential and batch filtering for spacecraft navigation, detailing the most common algorithms for both approaches. Then, the basis of absolute navigation with global navigation satellite system, pulsar, and ground-based are described along with the problem of attitude determination. Furthermore, the problem of relative navigation between two or more spacecraft is tackled with particular attention to vision-based approaches and image processing techniques. Finally, navigation budgets and the most important implementation best practices are introduced.

Abstract
This chapter presents a comprehensive overview on the typical algorithms, trade-off, and lessons learnt in the navigation design. This chapter introduces the concepts of sequential and batch filtering for spacecraft navigation, detailing the most common algorithms for both approaches. Then, the basis of absolute navigation with global navigation satellite system, pulsar, and ground-based are described along with the problem of attitude determination. Furthermore, the problem of relative navigation between two or more spacecraft is tackled with particular attention to vision-based approaches and image processing techniques. Finally, navigation budgets and the most important implementation best practices are introduced.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
