SATELLITE ATTITUDE DETERMINATION FROM SOLAR AND MAGNETIC SENSORS.

Abstract

The computation of meaningful aspect parameters for each OV3-2, OV1-15 and OV3-6 orbit of interest was arrived at by using a general aspect analysis and computer programs. For this purpose, both raw magnetometer and sun sensor telemetry data merged with the corresponding ephemeris data were used. This aspect information represents a history of these satellites.
