Abstract

This paper presents a method for localization of rovers and probes on different celestial bodies. There are no technical possibilities of running a GNSS-like (Global Navigation Satellite System) system on them. The localization is a crucial condition of proper directing the rover to destination of interest and providing relevant scientific data. It must be implemented in order to compensate positioning errors cumulated by gyroscopes and accelerometers. This paper presents an independent system for rovers localization.
