Abstract

We consider questions of how to ensure the required accuracy with regard to the orientation of remote Earth sensing spacecrafts by means of a strapdown ESG-based attitude reference system. The techniques, models, and algorithms that we employ are described, as are some results from actual flight tests. The ways of further improving the accuracy of inertial system under consideration are discussed.
