Abstract
Simplify, downsize and reduce power of devices which comprise the satellite navigation system used in approach and docking in space. The navigation systemwhich estimates an attitude of a target object T in space comprises: an optical markerthat is attached to the target T and reflects light; a lighting devicethat irradiates the target object T with light of a predetermined wavelength band; an image acquisition devicethat acquires an image of the optical markerwhich has reflected the light of the predetermined wavelength band; and an image processing devicethat processes the image acquired by the image acquisition deviceand thereby estimates the attitude of the target object T. The lighting deviceand the image processing deviceare loaded on an aerospace vehicle
