Very small spacecraft are increasingly seen as a valid platform for cost-effective and responsive space missions. Once considered suitable only for technology demonstrations cubesat and nanosatellite class spacecraft now have significant flight heritage in demanding environments. As the capabilities of these spacecraft expand, designers require better performance from the satellites’ subsystems. This push towards improved performance is particularly acute in the area of spacecraft attitude estimation.

非常小的航天器越来越被视为具有成本效益和反应灵敏的空间任务的有效平台。曾经被认为只适用于技术演示的立方体卫星和纳米卫星级航天器现在在苛刻的环境中具有重要的飞行遗产。随着这些航天器能力的扩展，设计人员要求卫星子系统具有更好的性能。这种对改进性能的推动在航天器姿态估计领域尤为突出。
