Abstract
Wind speed estimation and station-keeping control for stratospheric airship are studied. A mathematical model of the stratospheric airship flying against the wind is derived. Then using the position information of the airship, an extended Kalman filter (EKF) is designed to estimate the speeds of the airship and the wind. Numerical simulations show the filter is effective and robust so that it can be used in not only wind speed estimation but also station-keeping control of the stratospheric airship.
