Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) calibration accuracy is easily affected by turntable errors, so the primary aim of this study is to reduce the dependence on the turntable's precision during the calibration process. Firstly, the indicated-output of the IMU considering turntable errors is constructed and with the introduction of turntable errors, the functional relationship between turntable errors and the indicated-output was derived. Then, based on a D-suboptimal design, a calibration method for simultaneously identifying the IMU error model parameters and the turntable errors was proposed. Simulation results showed that some turntable errors could thus be effectively calibrated and automatically compensated. Finally, the theoretical validity was verified through experiments. Compared with the traditional method, the method proposed in this paper can significantly reduce the influence of the turntable errors on the IMU calibration accuracy.

Accurate wind speed measurement in low-pressure conditions is crucial for the thermal performance validation and attitude control of stratospheric aircraft. As air density decreases, traditional wind speed measurement systems based on principles such as dynamic pressure, heat transfer, ultrasound, and particle velocimetry face significant challenges when applied in low-pressure environments, often failing to achieve the required measurement accuracy. This paper presents the development of a wind speed simulation system based on a rotation method designed to operate in low-pressure conditions, utilizing a space environment simulation chamber in conjunction with a high-precision turntable.

Attitude determination based on a micro-electro-mechanical system inertial measurement unit (MEMS-IMU) has attracted extensive attention. The non-gravitational components of the MEMS-IMU have a significant effect on the accuracy of attitude estimation. To improve the attitude estimation of low-dynamic vehicles under uneven soil conditions or vibrations, a robust Kalman filter (RKF) was developed and tested in this paper, where the noise covariance was adaptively changed to compensate for the external acceleration of the vehicle.

In this paper, the kinematic models of the Strapdown Inertial Navigation System (SINS) and its errors on the SE(3) group in the Earth-Centered Inertial frame (ECI) are established. On the one hand, with the ECI frame being regarded as the reference, based on the joint representation of attitude and velocity on the SE(3) group, the dynamic of the local geographic coordinate system (-frame) and the body coordinate system (-frame) evolve on the differentiable manifold, respectively, and the high-order expansion of the Baker-Campbell-Haussdorff equation compensates for the non-commutative motion errors stimulated by strong maneuverability. On the other hand, the kinematics of the left- and right-invariant errors of the -frame and the -frame on the SE(3) group are separately derived, where the errors of the -frame completely depend on inertial sensor errors, while the errors of the -frame rely on position errors and velocity errors.
