A method for star vector determination from alignment optical telescope sightingA method is described for determining the measured star vector in LM body coordinates when the measurement data consist of a spiral measurement, a cusor measurement, and a time associated with each measurement. The method is defined from alignment optical telescope (AOT) sightings from the LM on the lunar surface. This formulation will be coded into the real-time computer complex off-line AOT and gravity (AOT+G) bench program, the Gravity-Optics LM Attitude and Position (GOLAP) program.
