ABSTRACT:
The attitude (yaw, pitch and roll) of a home satellite is determined using position signals, derived from a GPS receiver on the home satellite and GPS receiver on other satellites, that are transmitted between the home satellite and the other satellites by an intersatellite communications link using gimbaled transceivers on the satellites. The home satellite determines its attitude from the gimbal elevation and azimuth and the position vectors between the satellites.
