Abstract:
Defining a state of space objects by optical observation is major theme for many researchers. optical measurements of cosmic object enables us to obtain the information of attitude motion, surface characteristics and shape of the object which cannot be got by telemetry data. Using these information, we can contribute to grasp the health. Various methods exist for optical observation, but photometric observation and imaging observation are considered in this research. In this paper, we discuss the estimation of the attitude motion of a space object in the Geostationary region(GEO) using imaging observation. This analysis is based on simulations considering the performance of the AO system and the telescope and atmospheric fluctuation, and proposes the attitude determination method applying the method using computer vision. In the future, we aim at improving the accuracy of dynamic estimation by combining this method with photometric observation and clarifying the system requirements for actual observation.
