Study for Estimation Accuracy of Satellite Spin Rate using Received Power Data at Two Locations

Abstract

In this paper, we discuss estimation accuracy of a nano-satellite(HIT-SAT) spin rate using received power strength data at about 830 km away two locations. The estimation method of received data at a single location was announced. It was difficult to collect a long-term data of a low orbit nano-satellite. Therefore, short-term data at two locations is proposed based on estimation accuracy of satellite spin rate. It is found that the proposed method by using estimating spin rate is highly accurate in spite of Additive White Gaussian Noise.
