The Advanced Algorithmic Method for Navigation System Correction of Spacecraft

Abstract

In this paper an advanced method for the navigation system correction of a spacecraft using an error prediction model of the system is proposed. Measuring complexes have been applied to determine the parameters of a spacecraft and the processing of signals from multiple measurement systems is carried out. Under the condition of interference in flight, when the signals of external system (such as GPS) disappear, the correction of navigation system in autonomous mode is considered to be performed using an error prediction model. A modified Volterra neural network based on the self-organization algorithm is proposed in order to build the prediction model, and the modification of algorithm indicates speeding up the neural network. Also, three approaches for accelerating the neural network have been developed; two examples of the sequential and parallel implementation speed of the system are presented by using the improved algorithm. In addition, simulation for a returning spacecraft to atmosphere is performed to verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm for correction of navigation system.
