Abstract

This study analyzes IMU (9-Axis DOF) experiments in high flux scattering on surfaces, stationary vs moving, TMP data, sensor, booms optimizing models, data analysis, & algorithms. Aerodynamic models advance scatter fluxes & Vortexes/Recirculations to derive optimal sensor positions & payload engineering. Results suggest TMP (Temp, Mag, Pressure data) may change up to 1.36-2.16X in Rear vs Flux/Wind and derives algorithms. Experiment data with acc g’s, and Bxyz(µt), are interpreted with variance. By filtering flux & scatter noise effects & boom-torque IMU analysis, IMU Ground tests quantify gyro accuracy, validate sensor data accuracy/error, and advances software with RCS thrusters, ADCS filtres, sensor fusion.R&D advances Payload Prototypes TRL, ground/flight experiments, & systems to develop GNC models & operate autonomous vehicles.
