Abstract
As the pulsar signal is extremely weak and discontinuous, the spacecraft needs to observe the target pulsar for a long duration to accumulate photons enough to extract the pulse TOA [1]. During the observation period of pulsar, the position of spacecraft has to be predicted by propagating the orbital dynamics model, resulting in the position error presents a nonlinear growth. Additionally, the low-thrust deep space explorers cannot autonomously position by only fusing the information of dynamics and pulsar measurement.
