Resumen

Micro-electro-mechanical (MEMS) technology is known to offer a wide variety of advantages for navigation and guidance purposes in terms of cost, size and weight. However, sensor accuracy limits its applications. The use of a Redundant Inertial Measurement Unit (RIMU) configuration allows combining inertial observations not only to obtain a better performances for attitude estimation, but also to be able to detect and isolate a sensor not properly working. The output signals of uncorrelated IMU sensors can be integrated using a data fusion algorithm (e.g Extended Kalman Filter, EKF). The aim of this study is to present the implementation of several filters for an array of consumer grade IMUs placed on a skew-redundant configuration in a sounding rocket vehicle. The filtering method allows designing an attitude estimator capable of improving the kinematic predictions from gyroscope measurement integration by applying a correction method from accelerometer and magnetometer data. Moreover, simulations are performed to analyze the resilience and fault detection, while laboratory tests check the performance of the two proposed architectures. With the aim of testing accuracy of the algorithms for the RIMU a software simulation tool and laboratory tests are presented.
