This classic book is the first comprehensive presentation of data, theory, and practice in attitude analysis. It was written by 33 senior technical staff members in the Spacecraft Attitude Department of the Computer Sciences Corporation and incorporates their experience in supporting more than 30 space missions. Because of the extensive cross-references, complete index, and 13 technical appendices, this book can be either a self teaching text, or a reference handbook. Among its unique features are orthographic globe projections to eliminate confusion in vector drawings; discussions of common data anomalies, data validation, attitude hardware, and associated mathematical models; and a presentation of new geometrical procedures for mission analysis and attitude accuracy studies which can eliminate many complex simulations.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Most authoritative and rigorous treatment of ACS I've seen.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Spacecraft Attitude Determination and Control (Astrophysics and Space Science Library) (Hardcover)
Provides the only text I have seen on quaternion math and its relation to more traditional attitude matrices and Euler dynamics. The presentation allows algorithm generation without too much fuss, and it is rigorous but not to a fault. Definitely graduate level reference material for practicing ACS engineers. I have found it indispensable.

5.0 out of 5 stars
*The* authoritative text on the subject,
By A Customer
This review is from: Spacecraft Attitude Determination and Control (Astrophysics and Space Science Library) (Hardcover)
This book is intended for technical professionals, who want an exhaustive mathematical and geometric reference to the techniques of spacecraft attitude determination and attitude control. Although the book is a little old, the principles are still relevant, and there is simply no other comparable compilation.
