This paper deals with the estimation of gyro model parameters and GEO satellite moment of inertia at the same time in transfer orbit phase. In order to fuse information of attitude determination subsystem sensors, an extended Kalman Filter has been employed. The estimation variables are including: quaternion, angular velocity, moments of inertia, and gyro sensor model parameters which are bias and scale factor vectors. The satellite motion equations along with gyro sensor and quaternion measurements have been used to design an Extended Kalman Filter in order to estimate the desired states. The disturbance torque effect on moment of inertia identification has been also considered. Estimation results via some case studies demonstrate the numerical simulation section exhibit robustness and efficiency of Kalman Fillter.
