Abstract
The parameters of angular position of a camera relative to the navigation unit of an orbiting spacecraft are estimated with the purpose of more precise determination of camera orientation in the process of a subsequent survey of the Earth from space. The results of observations of the horizon by the camera itself serve as information for the estimation.
