ORIENTATION AND TIME PARAMETERS FOR A CAMERA SATELLITE.

Abstract

A procedure for computing camera satellite attitudes is developed based on the cross-ratio preserving properties of a stereographic projection with the polar of the satellite ecliptic as vertex. Explicit in the development is also the determination of the proper time parameter values at which the satellite attitudes should be taken. (Author)
