Investigation of the possibility of determining the inertial characteristics and the angular velocity vector of chaotically rotating space debris object using a nanosatellite

In this paper, the problem of identifying inertial characteristics of a space debris object using measuring instruments installed on board a nanosatellite is considered. The work assesses the possible use of the SamSat nanosatellite platform, which was developed in Samara University, using the onboard MPU-9250 chip with an integrated three-axis angular velocity sensor. The upper stage of the Kosmos-3M rocket is considered as an example of a large-sized object of space debris.
