In response to the needs of positioning and navigation in lunar exploration projects such as manned landing on the moon, and the initial positioning of the lunar lander, this paper proposes a lunar positioning and navigation method based on stellar vector measurement and inclination information fusion, and demonstrates the correctness of the algorithm. A semi-physical simulation platform was built and the experimental method verified that the accuracy reached the positioning accuracy index of 30 arc seconds. Lunar surface positioning is different from ground positioning and cannot be positioned by satellites. This method solves the problems of low timeliness and low accuracy of ground measurement and control methods, greatly improving the timeliness and accuracy of lunar surface positioning, and has positive significance for lunar exploration projects.
