AbstractKalman Filter (KF) based algorithms are the most frequently employed attitude estimation algorithms. Typically, a fully observable system necessitates the use of two distinct sensor types. Therefore, relying on a single sensor, such as a magnetometer, for spacecraft attitude estimation is deemed to be a challenge. The present investigation centers on utilizing magnetometers as the exclusive sensor. Several KF based estimation algorithms have been designed and evaluated to give the designer of spacecraft Attitude and Orbit Control System (AOCS) the choice of a suitable algorithm for his mission based on quantitative measures. These algorithms are capable of effectively addressing nonlinearity in both process and measurement models. The algorithms under examination encompass the Extended Kalman Filter (EKF), Sequential Extended Kalman Filter (SEKF), Pseudo Linear Kalman Filter (PSELIKA), Unscented Kalman Filter (USKF), and Derivative Free Extended Kalman Filter (DFEKF). The comparison of the distinct algorithms hinges on key performance metrics, such as estimation error for each axis, computation time, and convergence rate. The resulting algorithms provide numerous benefits, such as diverse levels of high estimation accuracy (with estimation errors ranging from 0.014o to 0.14o), varying computational demands (execution time ranges from 0.0536s to 0.0584s), and the capability to converge despite large initial attitude estimation errors (which reached 170o). These properties render the algorithms appropriate for utilization by spacecraft designers in all operational modes, supplying high-precision attitude estimations better than (0.5o) despite high magnetometer noise levels, which reached (200 nT).
