Abstract
The OTV fulfills orbital maneuver by selecting appropriate transfer points to save fuels. Usually, before the orbital maneuver, it shall carry out non-powered free sliding in large elliptic orbit for a long time. During such process, due to the longer sliding period, the error of inertial navigation will be accumulated as time elapses. Meanwhile, when the orbit arrives at a certain height, the availability of satellite navigation signals becomes poor, the flight vehicle could not obtain accurate position and velocity with the INS/GNSS-integrated navigation in real time.
