Determination of Phobos' rotational parameters by an inertial frame bundle block adjustment

Willner, Konrad; Oberst, Jürgen; Burmeister, Steffi +1 more

A functional model for a bundle block adjustment in the inertial reference frame was developed, implemented and tested. This approach enables the determination of rotation parameters of planetary bodies on the basis of photogrammetric observations. Tests with a self-consistent synthetic data set showed that the implementation converges reliably to…
