ABSTRACT
An automatic image navigation algorithm for Feng Yun 2 (FY2) spin-stabilized geosynchronous meteorological satellites was determined at the National Satellite Meteorological Center (NSMC) of the China Meteorological Administration (CMA). This paper derives the parameters and coordinate systems used in FY2 image navigation, with an emphasis on attitude and misalignment parameters. The solution to the navigation model does not depend on any landmark matching.
The time series dataset of the satellite orientation with respect to the center line of the earth's disk contains information on the two components of the attitude (orientation of the satellite spin axis) and the roll component ...
