Abstract

Navigation is the technology to provide navigation parameters for the motional carrier to arrive at the destination accurately from the starting point. During the flight process of the OTV, the basic navigation parameters needed are the orbital and attitude parameters. Among which, the orbital parameters refer to the position and velocity of the flight vehicle in navigation coordinate system (the selected reference coordinate system, for example, geocentric inertial coordinate system, launching inertial coordinate system and launching coordinate system). Attitude parameters refer to the position relations of carrier coordinate system of flight vehicle corresponding to the navigation coordinate system, usually described by three Eulerian angles of pitch, yaw, and rolling.
