Abstract:

Results of this research demonstrate an automated near-real-time assessment of measurement biases with an unscented Schmidt Kalman filter. This method has been assessed and quantified by both simulated and measured data. This method will enable the exploitation of so-called non-traditional sensor data to maximize space situational awareness and improve orbital safety.
