ABSTRACT:
A surveying satellite apparatus having an on-board microprocessor to process sensor-provided data from planetary and/or celestial reference scene. The sensor data is compared with the on-board spacecraft database to determine if any misorientation or translation error is present. The spacecraft attitude and ephemeris solutions are autonomously updated to reflect the realtime alignment.
