Inertial Properties Estimation of a Passive On-orbit Object Using Polhode Analysis

Many objects in space are passive, with unknown inertial properties. If attempting to dock autonomously to an uncooperative object (one not equipped with working sensors or actuators), a motion model is required to predict the location of the desired docking location into the future. Additionally, f...
