Determining the local vertical line direction for CubeSat

class nano-satellite by the Earth images analysis

Samara State University, 443086, Russia

The study deals with applying video images to determine the local vertical line of a nano-

satellite. In the research we develop algorithms for solving the task and present the basic

formula, the result of numerical experiment. Finally, we make the conclusions concerning

the systems application.

Keywords:

nano-satellite, the local vertical, videonavigation, motion model, orientation.
