Predictive Filtering for Microsatellite Control System

Predictive Filtering for Microsatellite Control Systems introduces technological design, modeling, stability analysis, predictive filtering, state estimation problem and real-time operation of spacecraft control systems in aerospace engineering. The book gives a systematically and almost self-contained description of the many facets of envisaging, designing, implementing or experimentally exploring predictive filtering for spacecraft control systems, along with the adequate designs of integrated modeling, dynamics, state estimation, and signal processing of spacecrafts and nonlinear systems.
