Development of autonomous in-fight navigation capability for a CubeSat mission is a challenging task, often ignored in favour of relying on a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS). However, the potential value in solving this problem becomes great for deep-space missions where such networks have limited coverage. This thesis presents a proof of concept for how autonomous navigation can be achieved using the star tracker already included in the design of the Hugin satellite, a 3U-CubeSat under development by Beyond Atlas AB in Stockholm. A navigation algorithm presented in existing literature was selected, processing optically derived angular measurements of distant celestial bodies in an Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF). The algorithm was ...
