Abstract
An artificial satellite independent localization system for a lunar rover using the stars for navigation is described. The system uses a wide field-of-view star tracker and wide range high precision inclinometers to determine location on the Moon using quaternion output from the star tracker along with pitch and roll data from the inclinometer.
