INTEGRATED INERTIAL STELLAR ATTITUDE SENSOR

摘要

An integrated inertial stellar attitude sensor for an aerospace vehicle includes a star camera system (12), a gyroscope system (14), a controller system (16) for synchronously integrating an output of said star camera system (12) and an output of said gyroscope system (14) into a stream of data (C), and a flight computer (18) responsive to said stream of data for determining from the star camera system output and the gyroscope system output attitude of the aerospace vehicle.
