  • Abstract
    The integration of a GPS attitude determination system with an inertial navigation system is discussed. A demonstration was performed showing the benefits of GPS attitude aiding of an inertial system. This demonstration was done in part to support the NASA study investigating a common GPS/INS concept for space applications. The study led to a full development program of this common architecture for Space Shuttle, Space Station and the Crew Return Vehicle
