摘要 |
Described is a device for determining the attitude on board of a satellite (1) with a data transfer device for carrying out optical data exchange between at least two satellites (1, 3); a device for determining one's own attitude; a device for determining the directional vectors in an inertial co-ordinate system from one's own attitude and from attitude data of at least two satellites (1, 3), said attitude data having been transmitted by means of the data transmission device; a device for determining the directional vector directed to the satellites (1, 3) of which there are at least two, in a fixed-body co-ordinate system of the satellite; and a device for attitude determination from the directional vectors determined. Also described is a method for carrying out attitude determination.
