| Abstract | Measurement of the geomagnetic field provides a reliable and economical basis for determining the attitude of low-Earth orbiting three-axis stabilized spacecraft. Magnetometers are often part of the momentum management system, working in parallel with the onboard attitude control system (ACS). They may also be used as primary ACS sensors for missions with relatively coarse pointing requirements or for acquisition or contingency control modes on fine-pointing star tracker-based missions. When used in combination with strap-down gyroscopes for rate determination, magnetometer data can be filtered to obtain surprisingly accurate attitude estimates. The attainable accuracy depends on the specifics of the gyroscope quality, prior magnetometer calibration, the length of the data set, and to a lesser extent, the orbital details. It has been found, though, that even with very clean sensor data the magnetometer residuals still show systematic variations arising from small errors in the reference Earth magnetic field model. Two filters have been developed to estimate and compensate for the reference field errors along with the attitude and gyroscope biases. The field errors are modeled as sequentially correlated random variables. In the first filter, the autocorrelation of the error is assumed to decay exponentially in time. In the second, the autocorrelation is a decaying sinusoid. The resulting attitude estimates are improved by 40 percent (to 126 arcsec) and the bias estimates by a factor of two. With these improvements, autonomous onboard attitude control using magnetometers and gyroscopes becomes practical for a much broader class of missions. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
