Spacecraft autonomous relative navigation is widely required in the field of on-orbit services. In previous works, it has been shown that the monocular sequential images (MSIs) is a cost-effective autonomous relative navigation method. However, given the lack of size and initial orbit of noncooperative targets, the relative navigation system (RNS) with MSIs cannot ensure to estimate the entire relative motion states during the whole observation process. It is critical to perform an online observability analysis for RNS with MSIs to ensure autonomous relative motion estimation validity and accuracy. An analytical nonlinear observability analysis method is proposed in this article to improve the computational efficiency. We study the attributes of the relative orbit dynamics model and Lie algebra operations, and find that the observability matrix is only related to the limited states. The relationship among those states, rank, and the Frobenius norm of observability matrix is demonstrated, which simplify the observability criteria conditions and the degree measurements in analytical forms. In addition, based on the proposed method, we analyze the influence of the orbital manifolds on the observability degree of RNS with MSIs. Several suggestions are proposed for orbital manifolds detecting. The conclusion is a theoretical supplement to the past numerical research results. Finally, we implement the numerical simulations, and the current study’s findings verified the effectiveness of the proposed observability analysis method.
