Extended Kalman Filter for MMS State EstimationThe Magnetospheric MultiScale Mission is a four spacecraft formation flying mission designed to study the Earth s magnetosphere. The spacecraft fly in highly elliptical orbits, forming a tetrahedron at apogee. Each spacecraft spins at 3 RPM and is equipped with a star scanner, slit sun sensor, and accelerometer. The purpose of this work is to develop an Extended Kalman Filter to simultaneously estimate the attitude, angular velocity, angular acceleration, and center of mass of each spacecraft.
