1. Use TFM scale factor variations as is (simplest)

• Algebraic filter will estimate constant CgLM only

2. Use γCg model without TFM prior information (symmetric phase)

• Algebraic filter estimates full set of γCg coefficients ank, bnk and CgLM

3. Use TFM scale factor and estimate correction via γCg• Algebraic filter estimates subset of γCg coefficients amn, bmn, and CgLM

Two main approaches:

• Iterative Extended Kalman Filter (IEKF)- widely used in post-flight data analysis- drawbacks: linearization and potentially biased state-vector estimate

• Sigma Point Filter (SPF)- recently developed by the aero-astro community for spacecraftattitude estimation, nonlinear aerodynamic parameter estimation, andtracking applications

- claims that performance is better than EKF/IEKF

- drawbacks: more computationally intensive than EKF
