Overview
- Provides a comprehensive framework for X-ray pulsar signal processing techniques
- Formulates the relative navigation problem between two spacecraft based on X-ray pulsar measurements
- Examines solutions to X-ray pulsar based relative navigation integrating the navigation system with Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs)
- Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras

About this book
Navigation in Space by X-ray Pulsars will consist of two parts. One is on modeling of X-ray pulsar signals. The second part explains how X-ray pulsar signals can be used to solve the relative navigation problem. This book formulates the problem, proposes a recursive solution, and analyzes different aspects of the navigation system. This book will be a comprehensive source for researchers. It provides new research results on signal processing techniques needed for X-ray pulsar based navigation in deep space.
