Introduction
Attitude of Spacecraft: Orientation of Spacecraft relative to
Satellite:
Star Sensor(SS), 4PI Sun Sensor(4PISS), Digital Sun Sensor(DSS)
& Magnetometer
Attitude Sensors
Star Sensor :
Provides the complete attitude of the spacecraft
Accuracy : 10(Detector Plane) & 40(bore sight Axis)
4PI SS :
DSS:
Provides Sun Vector in sensor body frame
Accuracy : 0.125
Magnetometer:
Provides three axes earth magnetic field in sensor body frame
Accuracy : 500nT
Attitude Fusion
Normally SS provides the absolute attitude of the
