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. - Unifies existing and emerging concepts concerning predictive filtering theory, state estimation, and signal processing for spacecraft control systems - Provides a series of latest results in, including but not limited to, nonlinear filtering, attitude determination, and state estimation towards spacecraft control systems - Gives numerical and simulation results in each chapter in order to reflect the engineering practice and demonstrate the main focus of the developed analysis and synthesis approach - Covers advanced topics in nonlinear filtering with aerospace application
