Abstract
This paper presents the design of an estimation algorithm for the determination of a low-Earth satellite orbit
based only on the measurements of the Earth magnetic field. The algorithm is based on the extended Kalman
filter (EKF) and the measure of the magnitude of the magnetic field, which provides an estimation method
independent of the satellite attitude. The satellite orbit is described with a state vector formed by the classical
Keplerian orbital elements. The simulation test resulted in an accurate estimation of the state vector
components and yielded only a few kilometres error on the satellite position. The effect of the variation of the
orbit inclination and eccentricity on the filter performances was also investigated.
