The precise detection of the relative position and attitude between spacecrafts is very important, which is the base of autonomous control for spacecraft formation-flight.

A novel monocular vision-based relative position and attitude measurement algorithm named as the Similar Iteration algorithm is presented for non-cooperative spacecrafts in this paper.

Robust method of vision-based relative pose parameters for non-cooperative spacecrafts

Wheeled lunar rover's obstacle avoidance strategy learning in local relative pose space

Using monocular vision system, and the knowledge of the target spacecraft, an iterative method for relative pose parameters is found during the proximity operations of non-cooperative spacecrafts from a distance between 1 and 200 meters.

It makes full use of the information of single satellite s position and velocity in ECI(earth center inertial frame),and is not necessary to install new sensors to measure the relative attitude.

This thesis mainly studies on the dynamics and control issues of relative attitude in formation flying, aiming to provide some useful theoretical reference for the practical applications of satellite formation flying.
