Resümee

A high-accuracy satellite platform is required to obtain remote-sensing images that meet the requirements of high image quality and high resolution for payload imaging. In practical engineering applications, the thermal deformation error caused by the thermal environment of star sensors is always neglected. Therefore, relative thermal deformation between star sensors will negatively affect altitude determination by dual sensors. Thus, the thermal deformation error must be identified and corrected. In this study, the thermal deformation model is established on the basis of satellite remote-sensing data and then corrected. The parameters of the thermal deformation model established using the Fourier series reflect the real results of on-orbit thermal deformation, and the magnitudes of sinusoidal and cosine functions in the Fourier series are determined. Then, the estimated parameters are used to compensate for the output of star sensors. Comparing the altitude error of star sensors before and after correction revealed that measurement precision improved by 40% after correction. Results showed that the proposed method for thermal deformation correction can improve the measurement precision of star sensors and reduce the influence of slow-frequency error on the precisions of altitude determination. The proposed method has potential engineering applications for obtaining high-quality images.
