An application of the Observer/Kalman Filter Identification (OKID) technique to Hubble flight data

摘要

The objective of the current research is to identify vibration parameters, including frequencies, damping ratio and uncertainty characteristics, of the Hubble Space Telescope from flight data using an advanced system identification technique. The Observer/Kalman Filter Identification (OKID) technique is used to identify the vibration parameters. The OKID was recently developed by the researchers in the Spacecraft Dynamics Branch at NASA Langley Research Center.
