Abstract

•Approach to the study of Kalman filter features is proposed.•The approach is applied to study Chibis-M attitude determination algorithm.•Calculated accuracy of Kalman filter is compared with in-flight results.

The Kalman filter accuracy study method is proposed. Application of the method is demonstrated by a satellite attitude determination algorithm which uses sun-sensor and magnetometer measurements. The algorithm was implemented on board of a microsatellite Chibis-M. The attitude determination algorithm study method validated using in-flight measurements.
