Integrated INS/GPS attitude determination for manned space flightThe promise and technical feasibility of a GPS sensor updating inertial attitude for the guidance, navigation, and control (GN&C) and the flight control system functions of spacecraft are demonstrated. Attitude control simulations are reported which suggest that GPS/INS systems will be as suitable as astroinertial GN&C systems of future space vehicle navigation. However, arcsec attitude accuracy star trackers will still be required for special payloads. HT need for international cooperation and agreements before worldwide implementation can be achieved is emphasized.
