Stellar Angle-Aided Pulse Phase Estimation and Its Navigation Application

X-ray pulsar-based navigation (XNAV) is a promising autonomous navigation method, and the pulse phase is the basic measurement of XNAV. However, the current methods for estimating the pulse phase for orbiting spacecraft have a high computational cost. This paper proposes a stellar angle measurement-...
