Abstract
The autonomous guidance, navigation, and control (GNC) system is an essential component of a spacecraft. It serves the purposes of determining the attitude and orbital parameters of the spacecraft, guiding the spacecraft to move on the intended orbit or towards the desired target, and controlling the attitude and orbit of the spacecraft according to mission requirements without ground-station support.
