The development results of an automatic navigation method for MSU-MR images obtained during a full receiving session of Russian satellite Meteor-M No. 2 are presented. The method is based on the orbital motion model SGP4 (with propagation NORAD TLE sets) and a mathematical model of physical image deformation. Pixel accuracy of navigation for each image is achieved by computing satellite attitude angles (roll, pitch and yaw) based on ground control points that are automatically defined in an image or forecasting. The estimates for misalignment angles between the optical sensor axes of the individual channels of MSU-MP radiometer relative to the base channels are calculated and presented. At navigation forecasting, the values of one or several satellite attitude angles, calculated from ground control points on the images received on close satellite orbits with the same direction, are transferred. The navigation results are presented and discussed for the long series of MSU-MR imagery obtained from 2014 to 2017 in the Center for Regional Satellite Monitoring of Environment of the Far-Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (CRSME FEB RAS). Outcomes of MSU-MR automatic navigation can be obtained in the RGB image gallery at the CRSME FEB RAS website (http://www.satellite.dvo.ru/gallery/sat_image).
Keywords: Meteor-M, MSU-MR, satellite images, navigation, channel-to-channel registration, ground control points, satellite attitude (roll, pitch and yaw), navigation attitude forecasting, close orbits
