ABSTRACT:
An inertial measurement unit is provided. The inertial measurement unit comprises two rotational axes, wherein a first of the two rotational axes is aligned nominally along a thrust axis and a second of the two rotational axes is aligned substantially perpendicular to a plane formed by a local gravity vector and a thrust vector, and one or more sensors which rotate about the second rotational axis.
